MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Wednesday, May 14th
Opto% Stack
LA Dodgers vs. Gunnar Hoglund
The Los Angeles Dodgers present an exceptional MLB DFS stacking opportunity in today’s matchup against Gunnar Hoglund. Our projections indicate that the Dodgers lead in both optimal stack rate and stack rating, suggesting strong potential performance. With an implied run total of 5.45 runs, the Dodgers are in a great spot.
Despite Hoglund’s decent pitching skills, his limited experience hints at emerging vulnerabilities against left-handed batters, making this an opportune moment for the Dodgers’ power hitters. Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman stand out as top-tier options, given their remarkable hitting ability.
Adding versatility to DFS lineups, a budget-friendly option like James Outman could make lineup construction easier.

Value% Stack
Colorado Rockies at Patrick Corbin
Despite ranking among the league’s weaker offenses, the Colorado Rockies are an interesting MLB DFS stack today against Patrick Corbin. The Rockies boast the highest Value% in our projections, suggesting a cost-effective option for DFS lineups. Although full stacking may not be essential outside of deeper MME builds, the matchup is ripe given Corbin’s 13.7% strikeout rate against right-handed hitters.
With Corbin consistently targeting the zone, the Rockies’ righty power bats, such as Brenton Doyle, Jordan Beck, and Hunter Goodman, have demonstrated potential against left-handed pitching this season.
Additionally, Michael Toglia offers long-term data supporting his viability. These hitters provide flexibility for lineup construction without the need for a complete stack. While a successful full stack requires some luck on balls in play, the individual upside of these players adds enticing possibilities.
