MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Tuesday, September 23rd
Opto% Stack
Kansas City Royals at Los Angeles Angels (Sam Aldegheri)
The Kansas City Royals are a solid MLB DFS stack against Sam Aldegheri, highlighted by the best optimal stack rate, best stack rating, and 2nd-best Value% in projections, with an implied run total of 4.66 runs. Aldegheri’s early struggles in the majors, characterized by more walks than strikeouts, signal a prime opportunity for Kansas City, particularly given his mediocre performance at Triple-A.
Facing an Angels team compensating for late-season roster challenges, including a weak bullpen, the Royals are well-positioned to capitalize on the pitching vulnerabilities and their own low-strikeout lineup.
Key players like Bobby Witt Jr., Salvador Perez, Vinnie Pasquantino, and Maikel Garcia serve as foundational pieces for the stack, providing a balanced attack. While caution is warranted concerning pinch-hit risks for players like Randal Grichuk and Tyler Tolbert, the strategy focuses on maximizing favorable matchups and lineup flexibility.
Overall, the Royals’ strong potential against Aldegheri and the Angels’ pitching staff makes them an appealing DFS stack.

Value% Stack
Houston Astros at Athletics (Jeffrey Springs)
The Houston Astros are an intriguing MLB DFS stack option today against Jeffrey Springs, supported by the 2nd-best optimal stack rate, 5th-best stack rating, and best Value% in projections. With an implied run total of 5.25 runs, the Astros are well-positioned for offensive success.
Springs’ performance against right-handed hitters is notable, allowing a .208 ISO with a 19.7% strikeout rate, and his 5.00 ERA at home over 77 innings suggests vulnerability. This matchup offers Houston an opportunity to leverage their lineup’s strengths effectively.
Core players like Christian Walker, Jeremy Pena, Carlos Correa, Yainer Diaz, and Jose Altuve form a potent core that exploits Springs’ weaknesses. For expanded stack potential, Isaac Paredes and Cam Smith offer additional flexibility.
The affordability of the Astros’ lineup enhances their appeal, particularly for constructing balanced DFS lineups with high-tier pitching options.
