MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Wednesday, April 30th
Opto% Stack
Yankees vs. Cade Povich
The Yankees are an exceptional MLB DFS stack today against left-handed pitcher Cade Povich. With the highest optimal stack rate and best Value% in our projections, the Yankees stand out as a solid choice with an implied run total of 4.75 runs.
Their recent offensive outburst, including four home runs in the first inning against Kyle Gibson, demonstrates their explosive potential. Paul Goldschmidt emerges as a key player, now thriving in New York after a challenging year in St. Louis. His .674 wOBA and 1.601 OPS against left-handed pitchers this season make him an ideal fit against Povich. Despite the unlikely sustainability of these numbers, Goldschmidt’s point-per-dollar value cannot be ignored.
Alongside Aaron Judge, a consistently top-performing hitter, and Anthony Volpe, who excels against lefties, the Yankees’ lineup is in a great spot.
These factors position them as the top DFS stack option.

Opto% Stack
Cubs vs. Carmen Mlodzinski
The Cubs are an enticing MLB DFS stack opportunity today against Carmen Mlodzinski. With the 2nd-best optimal stack rate and the top stack rating in our projections, the Cubs boast an implied run total of 4.75 runs, highlighting their offensive potential.
Mlodzinski’s vulnerability, often due to command issues, enhances the Cubs’ scoring potential. While Kyle Tucker captures attention, Carson Kelly and Michael Busch are the ones making waves with impressive stats—Kelly has phenomenal splits this year, while Busch flaunts a .412 wOBA and .277 ISO.
Although their high pricing on platforms like DK can be challenging, Ian Happ serves as a budget-friendly alternative, offering significant power potential for GPP tournaments.
