MLB DFS is complex, which is why it helps to have data-driven tools at your disposal. That’s where we come in.
With some help from our Top Stacks tool, we can narrow down some of the stacks that are worth targeting for the upcoming MLB DFS slate. Our Top Stacks tool is powered by our MLB player projections that are available in our MLB optimizer, LineupHQ.
Also, don’t forget to check out our MLB weather page and MLB starting lineups leading up to lock. The last thing you want to do is stack up some teams that may get their game postponed or roster players who aren’t in the confirmed lineup.
MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Thursday, July 3rd
Opto% Stack
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Chicago White Sox (Aaron Civale)
The Dodgers present an exceptional MLB DFS stack opportunity against Aaron Civale, driven by the best optimal stack rate, the 2nd-best stack rating, and the 5th-best Value% in projections. With an implied run total of 5.84 runs, the Dodgers are well-positioned for a strong offensive showing.
Civale’s current form, characterized by reduced strikeout rates and an elevated ISO above .200 to both lefties and righties, enhances their outlook. This decline, coupled with a vulnerable White Sox bullpen, firmly establishes the Dodgers as the top stack choice.
Their lineup is well-suited to exploit Civale’s vulnerabilities, with Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, and Teoscar Hernandez standing out as key contributors.

Value% Stack
Los Angeles Angels at Atlanta Braves (Bryce Elder)
The Angels present a strong MLB DFS stack opportunity against Bryce Elder, supported by the 3rd-best optimal stack rate, 4th-best stack rating, and 2nd-best Value% in projections. Despite an implied run total of 4.07 runs, the Angels are worthy of consideration.
Elder’s tendency not to walk righties and his proclivity for ground balls make him susceptible to the Angels’ fly-ball power hitters. This creates an ideal setting for power hunting, with players like Mike Trout and Taylor Ward leading the charge. Both are priority plays due to their capability to exploit Elder’s pitching style with significant upside.
Complementing them, Jo Adell, Logan O’Hoppe, and Zach Neto offer additional depth and versatility, making them appealing not only within stacks but also as standalone options.
