MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Tuesday, September 2nd
Opto% Stack
San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies (Kyle Freeland)
The San Francisco Giants are a solid MLB DFS stack option against Kyle Freeland, boasting the best optimal stack rate, stack rating, and Value% in projections, with an implied run total of 6.33 runs. Freeland, pitching in the hitter-friendly environment of Coors Field, offers a favorable matchup due to his low-strikeout ability and susceptibility to right-handed power.
Despite Freeland’s potential to escape severe damage through strong control and BABIP luck, his 6.36 home ERA highlights his vulnerability. The Giants lineup, rich in righties who drive the ball with power, is well-suited to exploit Freeland’s shortcomings.
Given the reasonable player salaries, Giants bats like Heliot Ramos, Matt Chapman, Willy Adames, Luis Matos, Casey Schmitt, and Wilmer Flores hold considerable appeal, both individually and within stack configurations. The flexibility in choosing one-off plays complements full-stack strategies, adaptive to roster construction needs.
Overall, capitalizing on Freeland’s weaknesses and leveraging Coors Field dynamics positions the Giants as a highly attractive DFS stack or by using some of their bats as one-offs.

Value% Stack
Chicago White Sox at Minnesota Twins (Simeon Woods Richardson)
The Chicago White Sox are a compelling MLB DFS stack option today against Simeon Woods Richardson, highlighted by the 7th-best optimal stack rate and 2nd-best Value% in projections, with an implied run total of 4.35 runs. Woods Richardson’s recent performance since returning from the IL has shown vulnerabilities, particularly against power hitters, akin to Miles Mikolas but lacking control.
This setup offers the White Sox a potent opportunity to capitalize, especially by exploiting his propensity for yielding power to righties. Lenyn Sosa stands out as an individual target due to this trend, with Colson Montgomery also drawing attention for consistent play.
Given Woods Richardson’s struggles, a full-stack approach could maximize scoring potential.
