MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Thursday, July 10th
Opto% Stack
Atlanta Braves at Oakland Athletics (JP Sears)
The Atlanta Braves present an exceptional MLB DFS stack against JP Sears, backed by the best optimal stack rate, stack rating, and a solid 4th-best Value% in our projections. With an implied run total of 5.97 runs, the Braves are primed to capitalize on their matchup.
Sears, a strike-thrower who is prone to allowing fly balls to righties, sets the stage for their lineup to deliver significant impact through power rather than death by a thousand papercuts. Targeting right-handed power bats is the correct play here, with players like Austin Riley and Sean Murphy offering high potential, particularly given their affordable salaries relative to Ronald Acuna.
While recent statistics might suggest Acuna isn’t the top power bat against lefties, his overall skillset keeps him as a top consideration. However, due to budget constraints, emphasizing Riley and Murphy can offer a balance of value and power. Matt Olson also presents a viable option.
The combination of strong lineup depth and opposing pitcher vulnerabilities makes the Braves a leading DFS stack choice against Sears.

Opto% Stack
Arizona Diamondbacks at San Diego Padres (Randy Vasquez)
The Arizona Diamondbacks present a compelling MLB DFS stack option against Randy Vasquez, reflected by their 6th-best optimal stack rate and 5th-best stack rating in projections.
Despite a superficially respectable 3.79 ERA, Vasquez’s underlying metrics, including a 5.71 SIERA, suggest challenges, particularly against lefties. His lack of strikeout ability against righties further accentuates his susceptibility. This creates a prime opportunity for the Diamondbacks.
Key players like Corbin Carroll, Ketel Marte, and Josh Naylor form the core of an effective stack, providing significant upside if salary caps allow. Additionally, Alek Thomas and Jake McCarthy offer valuable alternatives lower in the order, while Eugenio Suarez and Lourdes Gurriel complement the lineup’s power potential.
