MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Monday, June 30th
Opto% Stack
NY Yankees at Max Scherzer
The New York Yankees present a compelling MLB DFS stack against Max Scherzer, supported by the 2nd-best optimal stack rate and stack rating within projections. With an implied run total of 4.56 runs, they are well-positioned to leverage Scherzer’s recent vulnerabilities.
Scherzer’s early performances have raised questions, marked by a mere 5.4% swinging strike rate over 2 starts and 8 innings. His velocity dips last season, coupled with a 22.6% strikeout rate, indicate possible ongoing struggles. Known for allowing fly balls, Scherzer’s potential to concede power remains, even at his best.
This context elevates the appeal of left-handed power bats such as Jazz Chisholm, Trent Grisham, Ben Rice, Cody Bellinger, and Austin Wells, who could exploit Scherzer’s susceptibility to lefties.

Value% Stack
SF Giants at Ryne Nelson
The San Francisco Giants stand out as a viable MLB DFS stack against Ryne Nelson, providing the 4th-best optimal stack rate, stack rating, and Value% in projections. With an implied run total of 4.45 runs, the Giants offer a strategic opportunity amidst an unpredictable slate.
Ryne Nelson, although solid in real life, lacks standout strengths or weaknesses, making the Giants an intriguing target for DFS. While Nelson has exhibited a tendency to allow more right-handed power this season, his overall splits remain fairly balanced.
This positions players like Rafael Devers prominently, offering significant upside. Heliot Ramos, Willy Adames, and Mike Yastrzemski complement the lineup, contributing additional power options.
In this context, the Giants provide a reasonable platform for power-hunting, supported by their favorable projections.
