MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Tuesday, April 16th
Opto% Stack
LA Angels at Patrick Corbin
The Angels stand out as a compelling DFS stack against Patrick Corbin today, boasting the top optimal stack rate in our projections. With the 3rd-best stack rating and 4th-best value percentage, they have a strong edge. Their implied run total of 5.02 runs stands out on this slate.
When considering Patrick Corbin’s vulnerability against right-handed hitters, the situation becomes even more enticing. Corbin’s 16.8% strikeout rate since last season, combined with a .205 ISO to righties, presents a golden opportunity for the Angels. Power hitters like Mike Trout, Taylor Ward, Jorge Soler, Logan O’Hoppe, Jo Adell, and Kyren Paris are primed to capitalize on this weakness.
These factors make the Angels not only a top stack but also present individual players as strong plays. Each of these hitters brings potential for significant output against Corbin, making the Angels an excellent choice.

Value% Stack
Colorado Rockies at Bobby Miller
The Rockies present a uniquely intriguing DFS stack today against Bobby Miller. With the best Value% in our projections, they stand as a great value choice. While Miller is expected to regain his form, his current issues provide an opportunity for the Rockies to capitalize.
Imagine the scenario where a struggling team faces a pitcher who consistently misses the strike zone. Even the weakest lineup will eventually score through walks alone. Now, add a few power hitters into the mix, and the odds of hitting a game-changing grand slam suddenly increase if Miller accidentally places a pitch over the plate.
Given these dynamics, stacking Rockies hitters against Miller could prove lucrative. The combination of Miller’s pitching woes and the Rockies’ potential to exploit any loose pitches makes them a compelling DFS option. With everything aligning in their favor, including their top Value%, they might just be the surprise of the day.
