MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Tuesday, September 9th
Opto% Stack
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies (German Marquez)
The Los Angeles Dodgers are a strong MLB DFS stack against German Marquez, supported by the best optimal stack rate, best stack rating, and 5th-best Value% in projections, with an implied run total of 6 runs. Following a disappointing performance as chalk, the Dodgers are poised for a rebound against Marquez, whose 15% strikeout rate and over .200 ISO allowance to both sides make him a targetable opponent.
Marquez’s skill set offers little resistance, other than his control with righties, positioning the Dodgers to capitalize on his deficiencies effectively. Despite a wider array of teams with upside on today’s slate, the Dodgers remain a top choice.
Key players such as Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy, and Will Smith take precedence, forming the core of this stack. These hitters not only provide individual appeal but also synergize effectively within stacksl.
Overall, the combination of favorable matchups and robust power renders the Dodgers a standout DFS stack.

Value% Stack
Minnesota Twins at Los Angeles Angels (Kyle Hendricks)
The Minnesota Twins present a strong MLB DFS stack opportunity against Kyle Hendricks, underscored by the 4th-best optimal stack rate, 8th-best stack rating, and 2nd-best Value% in projections, with an implied run total of 4.63 runs. The affordability of the Twins’ lineup pairs well against Hendricks’ style, which, despite decent real-life performances, offers power opportunities given his low strikeout rates.
If Byron Buxton returns to the lineup, he becomes a priority target due to his potential to capitalize on Hendricks’ vulnerabilities. Following Buxton, Royce Lewis and Luke Keaschall offer appealing options, leveraging Hendricks’ changing splits and the effectiveness of the opposing bullpen.
The Twins’ strategy further broadens with left-handed power from Matt Wallner and Kody Clemens, supplemented by Trevor Larnach and Brooks Lee to deepen stack configurations. For those requiring deeper lineup flexibility on platforms like DK, James Outman provides a viable punt option, especially with his recent performance upswing.
Overall, the Twins’ mix of affordability and power positions them as an attractive stack.
