MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Monday, September 1st
Opto% Stack
San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies (Chase Dollander)
The San Francisco Giants present a leading MLB DFS stack option against Chase Dollander, highlighted by the best optimal stack rate, best stack rating, and best Value% in projections. With an implied run total of 6.16 runs, the Giants are well-positioned for an offensive breakout.
Despite Dollander’s theoretical average strikeout ability and moderate ground-ball tendencies against righties, his home performance has been problematic. His particular struggles against lefties make the Giants lineup especially threatening, with Rafael Devers emerging as the primary individual play due to his capability to exploit this weakness.
Adding bullpen considerations, the Giants’ overall stack potential solidifies their standing as the top option for DFS players.

Opto% Stack
Minnesota Twins vs. Chicago White Sox (Bryse Wilson)
The Minnesota Twins are a strong MLB DFS stack to use against Bryse Wilson, highlighted by the 3rd-best optimal stack rate and 3rd-best Value% in projections, with an implied run total of 5.21 runs. Facing a scenario akin to a White Sox bullpen game, with Wilson serving as a long opener, enhances the Twins’ outlook.
Wilson’s performance over the past two seasons has been underwhelming against hitters from both sides, making the entire Twins lineup viable. His struggles when confronting right-handed power hitters highlight Byron Buxton as a standout option, providing significant upside as a premium player.
Budget-friendly choices like Ryan Jeffers and Royce Lewis add important depth, allowing for roster flexibility. Meanwhile, lefties may benefit from facing Wilson and potential bullpen lefties, with Brooks Lee positioned as an advantageous addition to the stack.
Overall, the blend of power, value, and roster flexibility places the Twins as a solid choice, equipped to exploit Wilson’s vulnerabilities.
