MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Wednesday, September 10th
Opto% Stack
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies (Kyle Freeland)
The Los Angeles Dodgers stand out as an exceptional MLB DFS stack against Kyle Freeland, marked by the best optimal stack rate, best stack rating, and 2nd-best Value% in projections, with an implied run total of 5.71 runs. Despite their top ranking, consideration of player salaries does affect choices, particularly given Freeland’s effectiveness against lefties.
Freeland’s control over lefties suggests moderated enthusiasm for high-cost players like Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman on a budget-conscious slate. Similarly, the consistency of Freeland’s control diminishes the necessity of middle-tier righties, some of which are pinch-hit risks.
As such, Will Smith emerges as the primary individual play due to his offensive potential. Additionally, Teoscar Hernandez and Andy Pages offer viable mid-tier options, balancing cost with the chance for production. While Mookie Betts is a consideration for those constructing complete stacks, his appeal hinges on broader lineup decisions.

Opto% Stack
Toronto Blue Jays vs. Houston Astros (Jason Alexander)
The Toronto Blue Jays are an appealing MLB DFS stack option against Jason Alexander, backed by the 4th-best optimal stack rate, 7th-best stack rating, and 4th-best Value% in projections, with an implied run total of 4.84 runs. Alexander’s profile as a below-average pitcher with notable power risk against lefties creates opportunities for the Blue Jays’ lineup.
Key players like Daulton Varsho and Addison Barger stand out, poised to exploit Alexander’s vulnerabilities against lefties. In addition, righties such as George Springer and Vladimir Guerrero provide stack-enhancing potential, benefiting from the Blue Jays’ strong contact capabilities.
The affordability of the Blue Jays’ stack, particularly when compared to pricier alternatives like the Dodgers and Yankees, enhances their appeal—offering a balanced path for roster optimization.
Overall, leveraging the Blue Jays’ strengths against Alexander and aligning with budget considerations positions them as a valuable DFS stack choice, capable of delivering competitive upside in today’s match-up.
