MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Tuesday, April 1st
Opto% Stack
Arizona Diamondbacks at Will Warren
The Arizona Diamondbacks are a strong DFS stack option today against rookie Will Warren, boasting the best optimal stack rate in projections, the 2nd-best stack rating, and the 5th-best Value%. Their 4.25 implied run total provides a solid floor for production.
Warren’s extremely limited MLB sample (22 innings) creates exploitable uncertainty. While he shows strikeout upside against righties, his concerning performance against left-handed batters presents a clear attack vector. The Diamondbacks’ lineup construction perfectly capitalizes on this vulnerability.
Despite Warren’s improved minor league control in 2024, his transition to the majors remains unproven. The power vulnerability he’s shown to both sides of the plate aligns perfectly with Arizona’s balanced offensive approach.
The core trio of Corbin Carroll (lefty with elite speed/power), Ketel Marte (switch-hitter with a high ceiling), and Josh Naylor (lefty power bat) forms an exceptional foundation. This combination offers the rare blend of high floor, ceiling, and value that DFS players should aggressively target today.

Value% Stack
Washington Nationals at Jose Berrios
The Washington Nationals emerge as an enticing MLB DFS stack today against Jose Berrios, owing to their impressive metrics. Ranked with the 11th-best optimal stack rate, they also boast the 7th-best stack rating, highlighting their offensive potential. Notably, they hold the 2nd-best Value%, signifying their potential for high returns relative to investment.
While Jose Berrios is a competent pitcher, his track record suggests the potential for vulnerability. Key players like CJ Abrams and James Wood seem primed for success in this matchup, given their projected advantages. Additionally, the Nationals’ lineup features four consecutive left-handed batters following Abrams and Wood, each possessing commendable contact skills and moderate power. This left-handed momentum compounds their threat against Berrios.
