MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Thursday, April 24th
Opto% Stack
KC Royals vs. German Marquez
The Kansas City Royals present a strong MLB DFS stack option today against German Marquez. They top our projections with the best optimal stack rate, stack rating, and Value%, indicating strong performance potential relative to their cost. With an implied run total of 4.97, the Royals offense is expected to thrive, making them an attractive choice on a slate with limited appealing offenses.
Marquez’s 57% ground ball rate against righties hints at some pitching prowess, but issues persist when facing lefties, providing opportunity for Royals batters like Vinnie Pasquantino and Michael Massey. Bobby Witt remains a high-profile play.
Though some DFS players may opt to remain cautious with Kansas City, the Royals’ favorable metrics and Marquez’s vulnerability enhance their value as an offensive stack.

Opto% Stack
Minnesota Twins vs. Shane Smith
The Minnesota Twins are a solid MLB DFS stack choice today facing Shane Smith, earning the 2nd-best optimal stack rate and 3rd-best Value% in our projections. With an implied run total of 4.86 runs, the Twins are positioned for a significant offensive display.
Despite skepticism regarding Shane Smith’s potential improvement, his previous struggles and the Royals’ weak bullpen create opportunities for Minnesota. Byron Buxton stands out as the key player, yet the Twins’ collective lineup strength can exploit these pitching vulnerabilities.
While uncertainty surrounds individual players making standout impacts, the collective value and implied scoring potential make a full Twins stack appealing, especially given the manageable salary considerations. Compared to the Royals, the Twins may hold a slight edge in stacking efficiency, making them a smart DFS play against a likely inefficient pitching scenario.
