MLB DFS Top Stacks: Tuesday, May 30
Alex Sonty 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.
We have a lot of condensed ownership forming good chalk at the top. Our goal will be to separate them from each other more than avoid them, altogether. There are a lot of pivots on this 13-game slate. We’ll discuss a relative few.

Chalk Stack – Braves vs. JP Sears
The A’s are a flippin’ mess. Their bullpen is a flaming dung. JP Sears isn’t total garbage, but the Braves are great enough to where he’s enough garbage to get exploited.
Sears’ K/9 is up to 8.72 from 6.56 in 2022 and his BB/9 is down to 1.68 from 2.96, but his power prevention has been horrible. 2.01 HR/9 allowed on an 11.0% barrel rate and a 55.8% FB rate this season. Even if you wanna call the HR/9 noisy for the small sample, the peripheral data ain’t lyin’. It seems that he went to throwing more hittable pitches to keep them in the zone and is getting clobbered.
The Braves have a wealth of power. So much so that the ballpark being terrible for power shouldn’t totally bother us in MME. There isn’t a Brave that we shouldn’t play. We should play everyone.
That said, the ownership and the ballpark make me wanna shy away in single-entry and small fields. In MME, we should be at least even with the field. But for a single bullet or three, this doesn’t have to be bad chalk for us to shy away. We can fade in these contests for some great pivots.
The ballpark should keep the Braves from mega-chalk levels, but I’d still keep them away from the Rays and Dodgers. Unless you wanna fade Brandon Lowe, Wander Franco, Mookie Betts, and Max Muncy.
