MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Wednesday, April 23rd
Opto% Stack
KC Royals vs. German Marquez
The Royals present a compelling MLB DFS stack option today against German Marquez. Leading our projections with the best optimal stack rate and holding the 3rd-best stack rating and 5th-best Value%, the Royals are positioned for a potentially productive outing. Their implied run total of 4.93 further highlights their offensive potential against Marquez, whose struggled to regain his pre-injury form. Holding an 11:8 K:BB ratio over 16 innings and a disappointing 8.27 ERA with a 5.06 SIERA, Marquez presents many vulnerabilities.
While he occasionally generates ground balls against right-handed batters, his performance against lefties remains exploitable, making left-handed hitters like Vinnie Pasquantino and Michael Massey appealing for stacking. Additionally, Bobby Witt and Salvador Perez add depth to the lineup.
Overall, the Royals’ combination of favorable metrics and Marquez’s ongoing struggles make them an enticing DFS stack today.

Value% Stack
Texas Rangers at JP Sears
The Rangers are an attractive MLB DFS stack today against JP Sears. With the 6th-best optimal stack rate and the best Value% in our projections, the Rangers are solid option. They also have an implied run total of 4.75. Sears’ pitching deficiencies—specifically his low strikeout rate and tendency to allow fly balls to right-handed batters—enhance the Rangers’ stack appeal.
Currently, Sears is maintaining a 17% strikeout rate to righties while permitting 36% ground balls and 50% hard hits, making him vulnerable to potent hitters. Key players like Wyatt Langford, Adolis Garcia, Josh Jung, and Jake Burger stand out as ideal lineup components.
Given these favorable conditions, the Rangers are a great team to stack against Sears.
