MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Friday, July 25th
Opto% Stack
New York Yankees vs. Philadelphia Phillies (Taijuan Walker)
The New York Yankees present a premier MLB DFS stack option today against Taijuan Walker, supported by the best optimal stack rate and the 4th-best stack rating in projections. With an implied run total of 5.49 runs, the Yankees have significant offensive potential.
Walker has not exceeded 4 innings in recent outings, which suggests the Yankees will have extended opportunities against the Phillies bullpen. Walker’s recent vulnerability to right-handed power hitters makes Aaron Judge a priority target, with Giancarlo Stanton also a key consideration for DFS lineups. These sluggers should be able to capitalize on Walker’s tendencies early in the game.
Given the likelihood of facing right-handed relievers, incorporating lefty power options like Jazz Chisholm, Trent Grisham, Ben Rice, Cody Bellinger, and Austin Wells further strengthens stacking. These players offer substantial upside in exploiting bullpen matchups.
While prioritizing top bats like Judge and Stanton is straightforward, the overall lineup flexibility allows for creative stacking. The Yankees’ capability to leverage both starting and bullpen matchups makes them an excellent choice.

Value% Stack
Baltimore Orioles vs. Colorado Rockies (Kyle Freeland)
The Baltimore Orioles offer a compelling MLB DFS stack opportunity against Kyle Freeland, highlighted by their 3rd-best optimal stack rate, 8th-best stack rating, and 2nd-best Value% in projections. With an implied run total of 5.59 runs, the Orioles possess significant scoring potential.
Despite recent struggles against LHP, including past performances from 2024-2025 improves their outlook. Freeland’s low strikeout rate presents an opportunity for power-hunting, where Jordan Westburg, Ramon Laureano, and Tyler O’Neill become pivotal batters to consider. Their potential to capitalize on Freeland’s weaknesses makes them core components.
