MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Friday, April 11th
Opto% Stack
LA Dodgers vs. Matthew Boyd
The Los Angeles Dodgers emerge as a top MLB DFS stack today against Matthew Boyd, thanks to their superior optimal stack rate and stack rating in our projections. With an implied run total of 4.64 runs, the Dodgers’ offense is poised for a strong performance.
Although Boyd has not allowed a run in his past two starts and boasts a solid 28% strikeout rate against right-handed batters since last season, his 30% ground ball rate and susceptibility to hard contact are areas of concern. These vulnerabilities make the Dodgers’ right-handed power hitters like Mookie Betts and Will Smith particularly enticing options. Furthermore, Boyd’s inability to limit hard contact aligns well with the Dodgers’ strengths, suggesting a high upside.

Opto% Stack
NY Mets at JP Sears
The New York Mets present a compelling MLB DFS stack opportunity today against JP Sears. With the 2nd-best optimal stack rate and a solid Value% ranking, the Mets have an implied run total of 5.02 runs, indicating strong offensive potential.
Sears, while effective in the pitcher-friendly confines of Oakland, may struggle elsewhere. His low strikeout rate and tendency to allow fly balls, particularly with power to right-handed batters, make him vulnerable. In 2024, his HR/9 rate significantly increased on the road, suggesting similar challenges in a new ballpark setting. Key players like Pete Alonso, Mark Vientos, and Francisco Lindor stand out as prime candidates to exploit Sears’ weaknesses, especially with their power. While left-handed Mets are also contenders, the focus on these righties offers substantial upside. Overall, the Mets’ offensive firepower and Sears’ profile create a favorable stacking scenario.
