For the second straight day, all 30 Major League Baseball teams are in action as the first month of the season rolls on. With games spread throughout the day, the main DFS fantasy baseball slate features the seven games starting at 7:10 p.m. ET or later. With 14 teams in the player pool, several lineups stand out as strong options for fantasy baseball lineups. Let’s dive into the matchups on the board and find some MLB DFS stacks to build your lineups around this Saturday night.
Before we get to the individual selections for these contests, let’s define exactly what we’re searching for. An ideal target for MLB DFS stacks is a team well-positioned to score plenty of runs based on its matchup and ballpark. “Stacking” is the strategy of adding multiple players from the same MLB lineup to your roster to boost each other’s production.
Ideally, MLB DFS stacks focus on players who are either back-to-back or from the same part of the lineup to allow positive correlation. Since most run-scoring plays produce fantasy points for multiple players, stacking a high-scoring team can carry your entry to the top of the leaderboard. The key to MLB DFS stacks paying off is finding the perfect matchup to attack, so let’s take a look at Saturday’s top spots to attack.

1. Seattle Mariners
Randy Arozarena ($4,500)
Brendan Donovan ($4,300)
Josh Naylor ($3,700)
Luke Raley ($3,600)
Cole Young ($2,900)
The Mariners roughed up Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr. ($7,800) for four runs in 2.2 innings when he faced them in Seattle last season, and the 32-year-old lefty’s road woes have persisted in 2026. He surrendered three runs over four innings against the Athletics on Sunday. McCullers was strong at home against Boston in his first outing after an inconsistent spring.
Randy Arozarena has a great history against McCullers, going 7-for-15 with a home run and a walk. He hit his first long ball of the season on Friday to help spark the Mariners’ offense en route to a 9-6 win. Arozarena is averaging 8.6 FPTS per game after posting 23 on Friday. Brendan Donovan sat out Friday’s contest due to illness, but if he returns to his leadoff spot, he’s a strong play given his hot start with the M’s.
Luke Raley had a double and 11 FPTS on Friday and has hit safely in three straight starts with at least six FPTS. His production is slightly skewed since he doesn’t start against lefties, usually entering later as a pinch hitter. As a bargain play to round out the Seattle stack, Cole Young makes sense from the ninth spot in the order as a wraparound play. He has hit safely in eight of his last 10 games, averaging 7.6 FPTS on the season.
2. San Francisco Giants
Rafael Devers ($5,200)
Willy Adames ($4,100)
Matt Chapman ($3,800)
Jung Hoo Lee ($3,300)
Casey Schmitt ($2,700)
The Giants took the first game of their series in Baltimore with a 6-3 win on Friday night. They have won three straight — outscoring opponents 17-3 — so they should feel good handing the ball to ace Logan Webb to face the struggling Chris Bassitt ($7,500). The 37-year-old righty has gotten off to a rough start in Baltimore, surrendering 10 runs on 12 hits with six walks and just three strikeouts across 6.1 frames. Against him, lefties are 8-for-16 with a pair of doubles and a homer for an .813 SLG and .566 wOBA in the limited sample.
I highlighted Rafael Devers’ past success against Bassitt in my home run props for the day, and he is a great anchor to build around. Willy Adames is another strong option to add to the stack after collecting multiple hits in four straight games, including six doubles, a home run, and 59 FPTS.
Jung Hoo Lee hit his first homer of the season on Friday and finished with 21 FPTS, looking to spark a turnaround after a slow start. He and Casey Schmitt are great value additions to the Giants stack, offering high ceilings. Schmitt is hitting .333 this season and has reached nine FPTS in four of his last six games.
3. Boston Red Sox
Wilyer Abreu ($5,000)
Jarren Duran ($4,900)
Willson Contreras ($4,100)
Trevor Story ($4,000)
Marcelo Mayer ($2,400)
I picked the Red Sox lineup to come alive Friday against former Boston starter Dustin May, but they stayed quiet. I’m coming back around again, though, since they have another favorable matchup against Cardinals starter Kyle Leahy ($6,000) and bring lots of power potential if they can get in gear. Leahy, transitioning to the starting rotation this year, has allowed six runs on 13 hits over his first 10 innings of work. His 54.1% hard-hit rate and 7.15 xERA indicate that he has been fortunate to avoid even more damage. Lefties are hitting .393 with a .643 SLG and .481 wOBA against him this season, and the Sox have some elite lefty bats capable of doing damage.
Wilyer Abreu has been the team’s best hitter, hitting a blistering .392 (20-for-51) with eight extra-base hits and a 51.3% hard-hit rate. Abreu is leading the team with 10.2 FPTS per game, just ahead of Willson Contreras and Jarren Duran. Contreras had a rough return to St. Louis, going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. Still, he had at least nine FPTS in three straight games before that. While Duran is only hitting .162, he has posted at least 11 FPTS in three games this season and always brings a high ceiling with his power-speed combo.
Speaking of speed, Trevor Story stole home on Friday night and finished with nine FPTS. He has at least seven FPTS in four straight games and is finding ways to contribute. His double-play partner, Marcelo Mayer, is a good bargain play to finish the stack. He has the advantage of hitting lefty against Leahy and has flashed some upside, despite some inconsistency this season.
