MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Monday, June 2nd
Opto% Stack
Detroit Tigers at Jonathan Cannon
The Detroit Tigers present an outstanding MLB DFS stack opportunity against Jonathan Cannon, boasting the best optimal stack rate, stack rating, and Value% in our projections. With an implied run total of 4.79 runs, the Tigers could have a strong offensive showing.
Cannon’s 15% strikeout rate against righties provides a favorable matchup for the Tigers, reducing the strikeout concern that typically hinders Detroit. His elevated .195 ISO and lack of ground ball prowess since last season make him susceptible to powerful hitters. Key players such as Kerry Carpenter, Riley Greene, and Spencer Torkelson are prime targets for DFS lineups.
Budget-friendly options like Colt Keith and Wenceel Perez enhance the Tigers’ appeal, offering flexibility in lineup construction. While positioned as a #3 stack, the combination of power, value, and matchup advantages could see them lead DFS performances, making the Tigers a compelling choice for today’s slate.

Opto% Stack
LA Dodgers vs. Paul Blackburn
The Los Angeles Dodgers are a solid MLB DFS stack against Paul Blackburn, reflecting the 2nd-best optimal stack rate and stack rating in our projections. With an implied run total of 5.03 runs, they are well-positioned for a standout performance.
Blackburn, making his season debut, is known for control and average ground-ball ability but lacks the strikeout upside required to challenge a powerful lineup like the Dodgers. This makes the Dodgers a great stack if you have the salary. Key players such as Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman lead the slate, with Freeman offering significant upside. Additionally, power hitters Teoscar Hernandez and Max Muncy are notable targets for those hunting for power.
While prioritizing pitching might limit full Dodger stacks, integrating 1-2 core players from their lineup is a solid choice. Their overall strength and playability across the board make the Dodgers a top-tier consideration against Blackburn.
