Saturday’s MLB schedule is absolutely stacked with 17 games taking place around the league. It’s a slate that includes two doubleheaders and that means there’s a plethora of opportunities for daily fantasy players to head over to DraftKings DFS to set a lineup. Below, we’ll go over some of your favorite team stack options for today’s schedule.
Top MLB DFS stacks: Saturday, April 13
Milwaukee Brewers vs. Baltimore Orioles
William Contreras ($4,900)
Rhys Hoskins ($4,800)
Willy Adames ($4,300)
Jake Bauers ($2,400)
Milwaukee hammered Baltimore in an 11-1 rout last night and will look to do the same when going up against O’s starter Dean Kremer this afternoon. A huge reason behind the Brewers’ fast start is the fact that they’ve been near the top of the league in OPS, posting a .925 mark over the last week. Contreras homered in last night’s victory and he enters today’s game averaging 12 fantasy points per game in DFS. Meanwhile, this is a favorable matchup for both Adames and Bauers as they are both 2-6 with a homer against Kremer for their careers. Even with Christian Yelich not in today’s lineup, I think the Brew Crew lineup can still do damage.
Houston Astros vs. Texas Rangers
Yordan Alvarez ($6,000)
Jose Altuve ($5,300)
Jeremy Pena ($3,900)
Jon Singleton ($2,500)
Houston will try to end a four-game losing streak when hosting Texas this afternoon and it has a good chance to do just that with its lineup. Alvarez and Altuve are already DFS stalwarts, but that’s especially the case today considering that they are both batting over .300 for their careers against Rangers starter Andrew Heaney. Pena has a chance to really clean up in the middle of the Astros order while Singleton is a sleeper in the six-hole as he’s doubled in their last two outings.
San Diego Padres vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
Fernando Tatis Jr. ($5,500)
Manny Machado ($4,600)
Ha-Seong Kim ($3,700)
Jake Cronenworth ($3,700)
San Diego will continue its series against Los Angeles tonight and will look to continue its momentum after last night’s 8-7 victory. The Padres have been one of the top power hitting teams in the league over the past week with 10 home runs and a .483 slugging percentage in their last five games. Tatis, Machado, Kim, and Cronenworth all homered in last night’s win and they have a chance to do more damage against Dodgers starter Gavin Stone, who has given up eight earned runs in his two starts this year.
