The MLB is back in action with a full slate of games to close out April. There are 16 games scheduled for Tuesday, April 30 with the St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit Tigers set to play a doubleheader. This surplus of games provides those who enjoy playing daily fantasy plenty of opportunities to set their DFS lineups. With that in mind, here are our favorite team stacks for Tuesday, with the DraftKings DFS main slate consisting of 12 games starting at 7:07 p.m. ET.
Top MLB DFS stacks: Tuesday, April 30th
Cleveland Guardians vs. Houston Astros.
Jose Ramirez ($5,800)
Josh Naylor ($5,100)
Steven Kwan ($5,000)
Andres Gimenez ($4,900)
Cleveland dropped the road series last weekend against the Atlanta Braves but takes its 19-9 record into Houston on Tuesday. The Astros will start Hunter Brown who has really struggled this season, tallying an 0-4 record and a 9.68 ERA over five appearances. Gimenez had two hits and an RBI in his last game. Kwan had a hit and an RBI himself with Ramirez also adding a base knock. Naylor went hitless but has a great opportunity to bounce back with the matchup.
The Astros are the -148 moneyline favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook. The Guardians are the +124 underdogs, and the run total is set at nine.
Oakland Athletics vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Esteury Ruiz ($4,200)
Brent Rooker ($4,000)
Abraham Toro ($3,100)
Tyler Nevin ($2,400)
This stack can help save some of your salary caps, but it comes with upside. Oakland took the first game of the series 5-1 and now will face Pittsburgh starter Mitch Keller, who has a 2-2 record and a 5.14 ERA. Nevin went 2-3 with two RBI and a run on Monday, while Rooker, Ruiz and Toro each picked up a hit and run of their own.
The Pirates are the -135 moneyline favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook. The Athletics are the +114 underdogs, and the run total is set at 7.5.
Minnesota Twins vs. Chicago White Sox
Ryan Jeffers ($4,400)
Byron Buxton ($4,300)
Carlos Correa ($4,200)
Jose Miranda ($3,200)
This could be a first for this article, as I am suggesting a quartet of players that tallied just one hit in its last game. Buxton went 1-4 with a run, but Jeffers, Correa and Miranda all went hitless. Edouard Julien could be back in the lineup, so this stack could shift around later in the afternoon. For now, even with the overall bad game in Monday’s 3-2 win, they have a good chance to rebound against Chicago starter Mike Soroka (0-3, 6.83 ERA).
The Twins are the -175 moneyline favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook. The White Sox are the +145 underdogs, and the run total is set at 8.5.
