MLB DFS Picks: Top Stacks for Wednesday, September 3rd
Opto% Stack
SF Giants at Colorado Rockies (German Marquez)
The San Francisco Giants are an exceptional MLB DFS stack against German Marquez, boasting the best optimal stack rate, stack rating, and 3rd-best Value% in projections, with an implied run total of 6.51 runs. Marquez’s recent struggles, highlighted by a sub-16% strikeout rate and ineffective ground-ball management, make him a prime target for the Giants offense.
In his return from the IL, Marquez’s performance was notably poor, failing to record a strikeout while surrendering 8 runs over 4 innings. This vulnerability, exacerbated against lefties, makes Rafael Devers a standout priority for DFS lineups. However, the broader opportunity calls for a collective approach, leveraging the Giants’ lineup depth.
Given their anticipated popularity, navigating the chalk factor becomes an important question. Stacking the Giants provides high upside, yet considering other strong options across the slate is prudent for balancing exposure and minimizing risk. Ultimately, the Giants’ matchup against Marquez establishes them as a top-choice DFS stack, but we need to do it in a smart way.

Value% Stack
Los Angeles Angels at Kansas City Royals (Ryan Bergert)
The Los Angeles Angels are a solid MLB DFS stack option against Ryan Bergert, highlighted by the best Value% in projections. While Bergert’s performance suggests caution due to his capability to handle high-strikeout lineups, the potential within the Angels’ roster, particularly their right-handed power, provides an enticing avenue for DFS players.
Despite mixed surface numbers, the presence of power hitters like Zach Neto and Jo Adell makes them appealing individual selections. These players possess the strength to capitalize on Bergert’s pitching.
Moreover, the possible return of Mike Trout or Taylor Ward further enhances the lineup’s potency. Their addition would bolster the offensive threat against Bergert, making them worthwhile considerations if available.
While stacking against Bergert may carry risk, emphasizing selected Angels’ power bats within their lineup makes sense.
