Derek Farnsworth walks you through the top stacks for the upcoming MLB main slate. Should we eat the chalk? Which team is a good pivot? Where can we find leverage? Find out below!

MLB DFS is complex. Most articles on MLB DFS picks are about the individual players most likely to succeed on any given day, but the MLB DFS picks most likely to succeed aren’t always the MLB DFS picks we should be most likely to play.

In this space, we will look at the MLB DFS process over the MLB DFS picks. And we’re looking at teams over individual players, using the features of the RotoGrinders Top Stacks tool. We’ll still look at the player projections available in LineupHQ. Still, we’ll be more focused on collective ownership, optimal scores, and matchups of full stacks within the context of game selection and leverage.


Happy Friday everyone! While we will be focusing on the top stacks of tonight’s slate, I might vent a little frustration here and there while sweating the Open Championship. For instance, Tyrrell Hatton just hit not one, but two drives out of bounds on his final hole. He went from being in the top 10 to barely making the cut in a single hole. Nothing like the golf sweat. Anyway, let’s get back to the task at hand — there are 11 games on the main slate tonight and plenty of appealing stacking options.

I don’t know about you, but I much prefer the non-Coors Field slates and that’s exactly what we have tonight. Let’s dive into the stacks.
