MLB DFS Top Stacks 4/27/24 Main Slate

1. New York Yankees vs. Milwaukee Brewers (Carlos Rodon LHP)

• Pitcher’s Challenge: Rodon has shown vulnerability against righties, with a .202 ISO and a .336 xwOBA, suggesting that power-hitting RHBs could thrive.
• Top Yankees Stacks:
  • Aaron Judge (OF): Judge’s .304 ISO and .431 xwOBA against righties are elite, pointing towards potential big-hitting plays.
  • Giancarlo Stanton (OF): Despite a high strikeout rate, his .222 ISO is a clear indicator of his power upside.
  • Gleyber Torres (2B): A .144 ISO and a solid xwOBA of .338 make Torres an interesting middle-infield option.

2. Atlanta Braves vs. Cleveland Guardians (Tanner Bibee RHP)

• Pitcher’s Stats: Bibee’s .165 ISO against right-handers is a red flag, especially against the Braves’ lineup.
• Key Braves Stacks:
  • Ronald Acuna Jr. (OF): His combination of a low K% and a .246 ISO is a DFS dream, especially with the moderate wind at Truist Park.
  • Austin Riley (3B) and Matt Olson (1B): Both showcase over .200 ISO, indicating significant power potential in this matchup.

3. Tampa Bay Rays vs. Chicago White Sox (Aaron Civale RHP)

• Pitching Struggles: Civale’s .281 xwOBA against righties isn’t overly concerning, but the Rays’ recent form and the hitter-friendly conditions at Guaranteed Rate Field tip the scales.
• Rays’ Stacks to Watch:
  • Isaac Paredes (3B): An impressive .270 ISO and a solid xwOBA make Paredes a key player in the Rays’ stack.
  • Randy Arozarena (OF): With a .343 xwOBA, Arozarena can be the stack’s linchpin, leveraging his balanced approach at the plate.

4. Philadelphia Phillies vs. San Diego Padres (Dylan Cease RHP)

• Pitcher’s Form: Cease’s 32.5% K-rate vs righties is imposing, but his .297 xwOBA hints at potential for damage.
• Phillies Stacks to Target:
  • Bryce Harper (1B): Despite the K%, Harper’s .212 ISO and .407 xwOBA offer significant upside.
  • Kyle Schwarber (OF): A hefty .292 ISO and a high xwOBA against right-handed pitching scream ‘power bat’.

5. San Francisco Giants vs. Texas Rangers (Martin Perez LHP)

• Pitching Profile: Perez has a respectable .306 xwOBA against lefties, but the Giants’ RHBs could exploit his .348 xwOBA against righties.
• Giants Offensive Stack:
  • Jorge Soler (OF): With a mammoth .373 ISO against lefties, he’s a prime candidate for big fantasy points.
  • Matt Chapman (3B): His .215 ISO shows he has the power to capitalize on Perez’s weaker splits.
