MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Wednesday, May 28th
Opto% Stack
NY Yankees at Yusei Kikuchi
The New York Yankees are a strong MLB DFS stack against Yusei Kikuchi, highlighted by the best optimal stack rate and stack rating in our projections. With an implied run total of 4.66 runs, the Yankees are well-positioned to produce strong offensive numbers. Kikuchi’s season struggles, marked by a 19.6% strikeout rate and control issues against right-handers, open a window for potent right-handed bats in the Yankees lineup.
Aaron Judge stands out as a primary target given his power potential, while Paul Goldschmidt complements the lineup’s strength. Kikuchi’s difficulty in controlling righties, combined with a lack of ground balls, enhances the Yankees’ outlook, particularly in full-stack scenarios.
The focus on right-hand power hitters like Anthony Volpe and Jasson Dominguez also helps round out these stacks.
Considering Kikuchi’s vulnerabilities and the Angels’ bullpen challenges, the Yankees’ upside is significant, making them a compelling choice for stacking.

Value% Stack
Texas Rangers vs. Eric Lauer
The Texas Rangers stand out as a solid MLB DFS stack against Eric Lauer, supported by the 5th-best optimal stack rate, 3rd-best stack rating, and 2nd-best Value% in our projections. Lauer’s history suggests modest strikeout capability against righties but exposes risks with hard-hit fly balls, which the Rangers power hitters can exploit.
Key right-handed bats like Wyatt Langford, Adolis Garcia, Josh Jung, and Jake Burger present affordable yet high-upside options. The anticipated return of Corey Seager further boosts the lineup’s potency. Lauer’s vulnerabilities against both sides of the plate, combined with potential extended exposure to the bullpen, offer a compelling opportunity for the Rangers.
The Rangers emerge as a top stack choice – their blend of power and value positions them as an attractive option – even among formidable teams like the Cubs and Yankees.
