Monday’s MLB schedule is stacked with 15 games taking place around the league. With every team in action, 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: Monday, April 15
Milwaukee Brewers vs. San Diego Padres
William Contreras ($4,800)
Rhys Hoskins ($4,600)
Brice Turang ($3,600)
Blake Perkins (3,300)
Milwaukee just took two of three from Baltimore over the weekend and is returning home tonight to open a three-game set against San Diego. The Brewers bats have been active with a collective batting average of .313 and an OPS of .890 over the past week, and that’s even with Christian Yelich missing their last two games. Contreras has been a monster at the plate as he racked up at least 16 fantasy points in all three games against the Orioles. Meanwhile, Perkins has been a great boom-or-bust addition to DFS lineups as he’s put up 20+ FP’s in three different games this season. There’s a lot of value you can get with this explosive stack.
Atlanta Braves vs. Houston Astros
Ronald Acuna Jr. ($6,400)
Ozzie Albies ($5,700)
Michael Harris II ($4,600)
Orlando Arcia ($3,800)
Atlanta will open a three-game series at Houston this evening and while this team stack may be a bit pricey, it may pay off given the pitching matchup. The Astros’ rotation has underperformed so far this season and they’ve been particularly abysmal over the last week. They’ve collectively posted a team ERA of 7.79 in five games, yielding 47 runs, 24 walks, and posting a league-worst 1.69 WHIP during that stretch. This an opportunity for stars like Acuna and Albies to eat at the top of the lineup, setting up guys like Harris and Arcia to benefit at the bottom of the order.
Kansas City Royals vs. Chicago White Sox
Bobby Witt Jr. ($6,300)
Vinnie Pasquantino ($4,400)
MJ Melendez ($4,200)
Nelson Velazquez (3,900)
Kansas City has been one of the surprise teams in the American League so far and it has a chance to do damage when opening its series against Chicago tonight. The 2-13 White Sox have been abysmal and pitching has been a problem, posting a team ERA of 6.55 with 33 earned runs given up over their last five games. Witt has been a consistent DFS presence from the two-hole spot, averaging 12.4 FP’s per game. Other bats like Pasquantino, Melendez, and Velazquez have also been good DFS adds and they have a chance to up their own numbers when facing the worst team in the league.
