You are viewing a daily MLB post featuring two lineups from our optimizer. An optimal 4-man stack has been included in each, and the optimizer was ran as is. Alongside the lineups, I will list some general info about the matchups and thought process of what was optimized. Feel free to comment or fire away with questions and be sure to check out our daily MLB content on the site.
FanDuel Lineup With Stack
Hard not to argue against Max Scherzer tonight, who comes in as the highest projected value among any starting pitcher. What is interesting is the Philadelphia stack it has decided to pair with Scherzer. Given his high price tag, the value Phillies bats are not a bad thought process here. Tim Adelman is a league average right-hander, and the Phillies run total is up over 4.5. Citizens Bank is also not a bad hitters park either. The various one-offs from other teams are firmly in play with their matchups.
DraftKings Lineup With Stack
No surprise with Max Scherzer following up on DraftKings, but a struggling Masahiro Tanaka comes in behind him. The story here seems to be taking advantage of dropping price tags. Tanaka has struggled this season, but a matchup with the A's can possibly put him in a spot to turn things around. It is risky, but I am not against it. The Houston stack shines with big value in this one. Carlos Correa and the outfielders all have depreciated price tags. A strong hitters park, Vegas on their side, and a poor form Kevin Gausman put this stack as one of the top ones. Evan Longoria seems to be a stable across the sites in a matchup against Hector Santiago, while his teammate Derek Norris follows.
