Also, don’t forget to check out our MLB weather page and MLB starting lineups leading up to lock. The last thing you want to do is stack up some teams that may get their game postponed or roster players who aren’t in the confirmed lineup.
MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Monday, July 21st
Opto% Stack
St. Louis Cardinals at Colorado Rockies (Austin Gomber)
The St. Louis Cardinals offer a solid MLB DFS stack against Austin Gomber, supported by the best optimal stack rate, the 2nd-best stack rating, and the 5th-best Value% in our projections. With an implied run total of 6.3 runs, they have significant scoring potential in the hitter-friendly Coors Field.
Key players like Willson Contreras and Ivan Herrera show solid numbers against lefties, making them key components of the stack. The use of Nolan Arenado and Masyn Winn can round out the lineup, although their salary levels necessitate careful consideration when it comes to your salary.

Value% Stack
San Francisco Giants at Atlanta Braves (Bryce Elder)
The San Francisco Giants emerge as a notable MLB DFS stack against Bryce Elder, guided by their 4th-best optimal stack rate, 7th-best stack rating, and the top Value% in projections. With a solid implied run total of 4.58 runs, the Giants are capable of exploiting Elder’s vulnerabilities.
Elder’s struggles, marked by a 5.65 ERA, highlight his susceptibility to lefties, although he shows only slight improvement against righties this season. This makes Giants’ lefty bats particularly appealing. Rafael Devers, despite recent slumps, finds an ideal matchup here; pairing him with players like Matt Chapman, Jung Hoo Lee, and Mike Yastrzemski makes a lot of sense.
Further depth comes from Heliot Ramos and Willy Adames, offering versatility and potential upside.
Their affordability and favorable matchup against Elder’s inconsistencies position the Giants as an appealing choice.
