MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Thursday, May 15th
Opto% Stack
Cincinnati Reds vs. Bryse Wilson
The Cincinnati Reds emerge as a compelling MLB DFS stack today against Bryse Wilson, holding the highest optimal stack rate and best stack rating in our projections. With an implied run total of 5.47 runs, the Reds offer substantial offensive potential. The matchup against Wilson and the White Sox bullpen highlights a combination worth targeting, despite Wilson’s decent control against righties.
The Reds’ lineup, featuring Elly De La Cruz and Austin Hays with notable power potential, can exploit Wilson’s low strikeout tendencies, particularly against left-handed batters with a walk rate of 12.7%. While the Reds carry higher strikeout numbers this season, their ability to disrupt the slate remains significant.

Opto% Stack
Atlanta Braves vs. Trevor Williams
The Atlanta Braves present a solid MLB DFS stack opportunity today against Trevor Williams. Ranked with the 3rd-best optimal stack rate in our projections and an implied run total of 5.39 runs, the Braves are poised for a strong offensive performance. While Williams generally fares well against righties, the likes of Austin Riley and Marcell Ozuna possess the talent to bypass those challenges.
The true advantage lies with the Braves’ lefties. Players like Matt Olson, Ozzie Albies, Alex Verdugo, Drake Baldwin, and Michael Harris present enticing matchups against Williams, offering versatility for stacking options.
With seven Atlanta bats to consider, lineup flexibility helps a lot. Building around these hitters can yield significant fantasy value, making the Braves a top stack on the slate.
