MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Tuesday, May 13th
Opto% Stack
LA Dodgers vs. Jeffrey Springs
The Dodgers are a strong MLB DFS stack against Jeffrey Springs (if he’s confirmed to start), buoyed by their commendable optimal stack rate and stack rating. With an implied run total of 5.77, they hope to capitalize on Springs’ current struggles.
Despite previously impressive performances, Springs is battling a career low in strikeouts, erratic control, and troubles keeping the ball on the ground this season, rendering him vulnerable. Consequently, the Dodgers’ lineup, featuring heavy hitters like Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman, becomes even more formidable.
Prioritizing Mookie Betts and Will Smith in the lineup taps into their consistent longer-term skills. Players such as Andy Pages and Enrique Hernandez further amplify the stack’s potential. However, due to potential pinch-hitting for Chris Taylor and Miguel Rojas, caution is advised.

Value% Stack
Texas Rangers vs. Kyle Freeland
The Texas Rangers are shaping up as a potent MLB DFS stack against Kyle Freeland, boasting the 3rd-best optimal stack rate and the highest Value% in our projections. With an implied run total of 5.21 runs, the Rangers are well-positioned against Freeland’s low-strikeout capability and the Rockies’ struggling bullpen.
While Freeland’s control and ground ball tendencies pose a challenge, the Rangers’ affordability on platforms like DK makes them an attractive option. Stars like Wyatt Langford, despite his higher pricing, stand out, while budget-friendly bats such as Josh Jung and Jake Burger offer flexibility. Adolis Garcia also emerges as a strong play.
