MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Monday, May 5th
Opto% Stack
KC Royals vs. Shane Smith
The Royals are an enticing MLB DFS stack against Shane Smith. Their projections boast the best Opto% and the 2nd-best stack rating, underscoring their potential value on the field. With an implied run total of 4.94 runs, the Royals are expected to have a productive game.
Players like Bobby Witt and possibly Vinnie Pasquantino add appeal to this stack. Though Smith appears competent against righties, their leading Value% offers cost-effective options on this slate.

Opto% Stack
Cincinnati Reds at AJ Smith-Shawver
The Cincinnati Reds are a solid MLB DFS stack against AJ Smith-Shawver. They have the best stack rating in our projections and boast the 2nd-best Opto%. Coupled with the 5th-best Value%, their lineup becomes a strong consideration.
Targeting Smith-Shawver, whose control has shown vulnerability, enhances the appeal of stacking the Reds. While the CIN/ATL game offers potential for either side, the Reds’ matchup specifically exploits Smith-Shawver’s inconsistency. With Smith-Shawver’s shaky control, the Reds should have an edge. Their high stack rating and Opto% indicates strong potential on this slate.
