MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Monday, August 4th
Opto% Stack
Toronto Blue Jays at Colorado Rockies (Tanner Gordon)
The Toronto Blue Jays offer an exceptional MLB DFS stack opportunity against Tanner Gordon, highlighted by the best optimal stack rate, stack rating, and Value% in projections. With an implied run total of 6.87 runs, the Blue Jays are in line for an offensive explosion at Coors Field.
Following the Pirates’ recent success in this hitter-friendly park, the Blue Jays—arguably a stronger team—enter the matchup facing Gordon, who has struggled with a 5.25 ERA at Triple-A and a career 7.01 ERA in the majors. While salary and ownership considerations exist, the potential for a great performance makes the Blue Jays a top choice.
Focusing on Vladimir Guerrero, Bo Bichette, and Addison Barger, with Barger as a priority due to his fly-ball and barrel rates, strengthens the stack. Complementary players like Alejandro Kirk and Daulton Varsho add depth.
The Blue Jays’ ability to capitalize on Gordon’s deficiencies, combined with their power potential, makes them a premier stack, well worth considering as the chalk play of the slate.

Opto% Stack
New York Yankees at Texas Rangers (Patrick Corbin)
The New York Yankees are a compelling MLB DFS stack opportunity today against Patrick Corbin, supported by the 2nd-best optimal stack rate and stack rating in projections. Despite an implied run total of 4.03 runs, the Yankees are positioned to capitalize on right-handed power.
While Corbin has shown surprising consistency, the potential for righties to thrive remains intact. Giancarlo Stanton and Paul Goldschmidt are standout options, poised to exploit any lapses in Corbin’s performance. Additionally, the Yankees’ recent roster adjustments, integrating players like Austin Slater and Amed Rosario, offer added depth against LHP, though pinch-hit risks should be considered.
Even with conservative projections, the Yankees’ power and lineup versatility make them a viable DFS stack option.
