As you set your lineups, here are our favorite team stacks for Tuesday.
Top MLB DFS stacks: Tuesday, April 16
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Washington Nationals
Update: Smith isn’t in the lineup on Tuesday. Swap in Teoscar Hernandez ($5,000) to complete the stack.
Mookie Betts ($6,500)
Shohei Ohtani ($6,200)
Freddie Freeman ($5,900)Will Smith ($4,600)
Teoscar Hernandez ($5,000)
The Dodgers will face Washington starter Patrick Corbin who has an 0-2 record and 8.44 ERA. Corbin has allowed at least four earned runs in each of his three starts this season. Betts and Smith are both hitting at least .300 in their careers against him, and it will be Ohtani’s first time facing the veteran. Freeman is only hitting .214 against the lefty in his career but has hits in back-to-back games.
The Dodgers are the -270 moneyline favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook. The Nationals are the +220 underdogs, and the run total is set at 9.5.
Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Chicago Cubs
Corbin Carroll ($5,700)
Ketel Marte ($5,400)
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. ($5,300)
Christian Walker ($5,100)
The Diamondbacks only had three hits in Monday’s loss to Chicago but still managed to score two runs. Arizona has a much better matchup on Tuesday against veteran starter Kyle Hendricks, who has an 0-2 record and 12.08 ERA through three starts. Carroll had one of the lone hits for Arizona on Monday, and Walker at least added a run despite going hitless. They should be able to bounce back overall against Hendricks.
The Diamondbacks are -125 moneyline favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook. The Cubs are the +105 underdogs, and the run total is set at 10.5.
Atlanta Braves vs. Houston Astros
Ronald Acuna Jr. ($6,400)
Matt Olson ($6,000)
Austin Riley ($5,800)
Michael Harris ($4,600)
Atlanta scored four runs in the top of the ninth to secure the 6-1 victory on Monday. This stack notably doesn’t have Ozzie Albies in it, as the assumption is that he will sit after getting hit by a pitch in the foot in the series opener. Houston starter Hunter Brown has allowed 14 runs over his last two starts. The Braves should be able to use the momentum from Monday’s win and jump on Brown early. If Albies is active, swamp him in for Harris.
The Braves are the -115 moneyline favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook. The Astros are the narrow -105 underdogs, and the run total is set at 9.5.
