MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Thursday, July 24th
Opto% Stack
Los Angeles Angels vs. Seattle Mariners (Logan Evans)
The Los Angeles Angels are a premier MLB DFS stack opportunity today against Logan Evans, bolstered by the best optimal stack rate, 2nd-best stack rating, and 3rd-best Value% in projections. With an implied run total of 5.2 runs, the Angels are poised for a strong offensive performance.
Evans’ profile as a below-average strikeout pitcher who fails to generate ground balls, combined with a concerning 11.5% barrel rate against righties, sets the stage for the Angels power hitters to thrive. Key players such as Mike Trout, Taylor Ward, Jo Adell, Logan O’Hoppe, and Zach Neto are central to this strategy, each offering home run potential.
While stacking provides value, the individual strength of these hitters allows for flexible lineup constructions. Yoan Moncada also joins the pool, as Evans exhibits even lower strikeout rates against lefties, with Moncada’s power being on par with the top righties.

Value% Stack
Oakland Athletics at Houston Astros (Jason Alexander)
The Oakland Athletics present a strong MLB DFS stack opportunity against Jason Alexander, backed by the 2nd-best optimal stack rate, best stack rating, and best Value% in projections.
Alexander’s potential struggles could lead to early exposure of the Houston bullpen, a tougher prospect, but manageable if the A’s can capitalize early. The strategy hinges on scoring 4-5 runs against Alexander, followed by targeting the bullpen for additional home runs, potentially sufficient on this slate.
Brent Rooker and Nick Kurtz, known for their fly ball prowess, are key targets due to Alexander’s ground-ball tendencies observed in the minors. Shea Langeliers joins them as a priority, adding depth to individual player selections.
