Welcome to MLB GPP Stacking & Ownership. In this article I will give you three options to stack. Remember that winning a GPP isn't always about maximizing points but instead maximizing some form of points and ownership.
With Coors on the slate and some reasonable pitching options, it becomes tougher and tougher to find stacking options that are actually viable and in-play, but we have three here. Just make sure to take a strong look at the Phillies and Rockies lineups before making any big decisions.
Option 1
Twins @ Rangers - Game Total 11
Name | Position | FanDuel Salary | DraftKings Salary |
Shin-Soo Choo | OF | $3,900 | $4,900 |
Ian Desmond | OF | $4,000 | $4,800 |
Nomar Mazara | OF | $2,700 | $3,700 |
Adrian Beltre | 3B | $3,700 | $4,200 |
Prince Fielder | 1B | $2,700 | $3,700 |
A value stack on both slates, in some ways, the Rangers aren't quite on the level of a Coors game, but they're projected for 5.5 runs. Tyler Duffy is allowing a pretty mediocre .308 wOBA and 1.04 HR/9 to left handed bats in 2016, but he's more of a reverse-splits guy anyway. Since 2015, Tyler Duffy is allowing 2.31 HR/9 to right handed bats and a .384 wOBA. Adrian Beltre and Ian Desmond have to be a major concern for him, and borderline cash game plays on all sites. Duffy has allowed 11 home runs in his last seven starts, and should continue on that pace tonight against a powerful Rangers lineup.
Option 2
Tigers @ Blue Jays - Game Total 9.5
Name | Position | FanDuel Salary | DraftKings Salary |
Ian Kinsler | 2B | $4,000 | $4,200 |
Cameron Maybin | OF | $3,200 | $3,800 |
Miguel Cabrera | 1B | $3,300 | $3,800 |
Victor Martinez | 1B/C | $3,900 | $4,000 |
Nick Castellanos | 3B | $3,800 | $3,600 |
The Tigers come into this matchup projected for 4.5 runs and with that considered, very reasonably priced on both slates. The Tigers are seventh in wOBA and 10th in wRC+ against right handed pitching since 2015. They face off against Blue Jays pitcher Drew Hutchison, in a park with solid hit factors. In 61 innings against righties since 2015, Hutchison is allowing a .391 wOBA and 1.46 HR/9. This is obviously troubling, as the heart of the Tigers order is right handed, especially Ian Kinsler and Miguel Cabrera. While they certainly don't have the most upside on this slate, they bring a solid floor and reasonable upside, perfect for cash game lineups.
Option 3
Yankees @ Indians - Game Total 9
Name | Position | FanDuel Salary | DraftKings Salary |
Jason Kipnis | 2B | $3,800 | $5,100 |
Francisco Lindor | SS | $2,900 | $4,900 |
Mike Napoli | 1B | $3,400 | $4,700 |
Jose Ramirez | 3B/OF | $3,000 | $4,400 |
Lonnie Chisenhall | OF | $2,400 | $4,600 |
DraftKings is certainly making you pay up for the Indians bats tonight, but with that considered, they're still a solid option on both sites. In terms of how they fit, they're a contrarian tournament lineup on DraftKings and a borderline cash game group on FanDuel, so that's an important distinction to make. Diving into the numbers, the Indians face ofd against struggling Yankees right hander Ivan Nova tonight. In 2016, Nova is allowing 1.78 HR/9 to left handed bats and a .357 wOBA. Even when you extend his splits to 2015, he's still allowing 1.67 HR/9 and an even worse .375 wOBA. Three of the top four bats in the Indians lineup are switch hitters, and it's fairly clear they'll be batting from the left side of the plate tonight.
