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! We are back at it tonight with a 14-game main slate. This means we have 28 stacks to choose from, now we just have to narrow down the list to the best few out there. My Utes are coming off of a win against Florida last night, so I’m in a good mood. I don’t know about you, but it seems like the betting board is clearer and DFS lineups are easier to build when the vibes are good. Let’s hope that’s the case tonight.
