Top 3 DFS Stacks

1. St. Louis Cardinals vs. Roddery Munoz (Miami Marlins)

Key Stats:

• Roddery Munoz (R):
  • vs. LHB: .500 ISO, .427 xwOBA, 27.7% K rate, 12.8% BB rate
  • vs. RHB: .118 ISO, .351 xwOBA, 24.6% K rate, 10.5% BB rate

Cardinals Hitters to Target:

• Paul Goldschmidt (R): .171 ISO, .352 xwOBA
• Nolan Gorman (L): .248 ISO, .353 xwOBA
• Nolan Arenado (R): .175 ISO, .311 xwOBA

Insights:

• Munoz has shown a tendency to struggle against left-handed hitters, giving up a high ISO and xwOBA. Stacking the Cardinals, especially their power hitters, could exploit this weakness. Goldschmidt and Arenado provide solid power from the right side, while Gorman can capitalize from the left side.

2. Cincinnati Reds vs. Bailey Falter (Pittsburgh Pirates)

Key Stats:

• Bailey Falter (L):
  • vs. LHB: .242 ISO, .347 xwOBA, 19.7% K rate, 3.6% BB rate
  • vs. RHB: .179 ISO, .343 xwOBA, 16.4% K rate, 6.8% BB rate

Reds Hitters to Target:

• Spencer Steer (R): .237 ISO, .352 xwOBA
• Tyler Stephenson (R): .184 ISO, .344 xwOBA
• Jonathan India (R): .117 ISO, .342 xwOBA

Insights:

• Falter has struggled against both left and right-handed hitters, with higher ISO and xwOBA against lefties. The Reds’ lineup, with powerful right-handed bats like Steer and Stephenson, should be able to take advantage of Falter’s weaknesses.

3. Philadelphia Phillies vs. Michael King (San Diego Padres)

Key Stats:

• Michael King (R):
  • vs. LHB: .122 ISO, .310 xwOBA, 24.4% K rate, 10.2% BB rate
  • vs. RHB: .153 ISO, .286 xwOBA, 31.7% K rate, 7.0% BB rate

Phillies Hitters to Target:

• Kyle Schwarber (L): .275 ISO, .372 xwOBA
• Bryce Harper (L): .214 ISO, .401 xwOBA
• Alec Bohm (R): .139 ISO, .354 xwOBA

Insights:

• King’s numbers show he is more effective against right-handed hitters but struggles more with left-handed hitters, particularly in terms of ISO and xwOBA. The Phillies’ lineup features powerful lefties like Schwarber and Harper, making them an excellent stack option today.
