Every MLB team will be in action on Sunday, April 28, with a full 15-game slate. This number of games gives those who enjoy setting daily fantasy lineups plenty of options to choose from. The biggest game set at DraftKings DFS on Sunday covers nine games that begin at 1:35 p.m. ET. Here are our favorite team stacks for Sunday’s main set.
Top MLB DFS stacks: Sunday, April 28
Miami Marlins vs. Washington Nationals
Jazz Chisholm Jr. ($5,000)
Luis Arraez ($4,500)
Josh Bell ($4,000)
Bryan De La Cruz ($3,800)
I can understand the hesitation for this stack with how bad the Marlins have been this year, but it can serve two purposes. One, it will be relatively cheap to put together to free up some of your salary cap. Second, the Miami lineup will face Washington starter Patrick Corbin who enters with an 0-3 record and a 6.51 ERA. Arraez and Bell each had two hits on Saturday with De La Cruz and Chisholm finishing with one hit apiece. Even with a lefty-lefty matchup on hand, Arraez is hitting .275 against southpaws this season, while Chisholm is hitting .220, but Chisholm still has enough upside against Corbin to be included.
The Marlins are the -142 moneyline favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook. The Nationals are the +120 underdogs, and the run total is set at 8.5.
Cincinnati Reds vs. Texas Rangers
Elly De La Cruz ($5,900)
Spencer Steer ($5,500)
Will Benson ($4,100)
Christian Encarnacion-Strand ($4,100)
Cincinnati has played well on the road against the reigning World Series champs in this series. The Reds lost 2-1 on Friday and held on for the 8-4 victory on Saturday. In the rubber match on Sunday, Cincy will face Dane Dunning (2-2, 4.61 ERA), who allowed four earned runs to the Seattle Mariners his last time out. De La Cruz was on an absolute tear heading into this series and was held hitless through the first two games. He should be able to bounce back, along with Steer, on Sunday. Benson has the benefit of leading off and went 2-5 in Saturday’s victory, while CES finished with one hit and two runs scored.
The Rangers are the -130 moneyline favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook. The Reds are the +110 underdogs, and the run total is set at 8.5.
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Toronto Blue Jays
Mookie Betts ($6,500)
Shohei Ohtani ($6,400)
Freddie Freeman ($5,600)
Will Smith ($4,700)
Los Angeles is going to be an expensive stack, but they should be worth it. How many teams around the league can say that their top four hitters are all batting over .300? The Dodgers will face off against Toronto ace Kevin Gausman, who has struggled this year, entering with an 0-3 record and a 5.57 ERA. Betts — an early favorite for this year’s MVP Award — finished with three hits and an RBI on Saturday. Ohtani, Freeman and Smith each had a hit in the win.
The Blue Jays are the -118 moneyline favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook. The Dodgers are the narrow -102 underdogs, and the run total is set at eight.
