MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Wednesday, May 7th
Opto% Stack
Detroit Tigers at Chase Dollander
The Tigers are an exceptional MLB DFS stack against Chase Dollander, bolstered by the highest optimal stack rate and stack rating in our projections. Their implied run total of 5.8 runs suggests a strong offensive performance. Though Dollander shows potential against right-handed batters, his vulnerability to left-handed hitters creates an advantage for the Tigers.
Remarkably, DK neglected to raise the salaries of key lefties Kerry Carpenter and Riley Greene, maintaining their value as top picks.
With Greene and Carpenter standing out as premier bats on the slate, they anchor the Tigers’ lineup. The remainder of the lineup offers flexibility to mix and match players, maximizing the stack’s potential. Overall, the Tigers’ combination of favorable projections and pricing makes them a compelling DFS stack choice against Dollander.

Value% Stack
KC Royals vs. Jonathan Cannon
The Royals are an intriguing MLB DFS stack against Jonathan Cannon. Boasting the 3rd-best optimal stack rate and stack rating, along with the top Value% in our projections, they present a high-value opportunity. With an implied run total of 5.17 runs, the Royals have the potential to capitalize offensively.
Should the weather clear in Kansas City, they are an affordable chalk choice. Despite lackluster recent performances, their continuously improving matchups and Cannon’s struggles make them appealing. Cannon’s low strikeout rate of just 13.5% against righties and vulnerability to power hitters bodes well for the Royals.
The chance of reduced ownership due to weather makes the Royals an intriguing stack.
