MLB DFS Top Stacks for Sunday 4/23/23

Twins vs Patrick Corbin

For Sunday, April 23rd, the Minnesota Twins are shaping up to be a popular choice among DFS players, particularly their batters going up against left-hander Patrick Corbin of the Washington Nationals.

Leading the pack is Byron Buxton, who has been on a tear against southpaws with low strikeout rates like Corbin over the last two seasons, boasting a slugging percentage of .813 in his last 83 plate appearances. Carlos Correa and Jorge Polanco are also expected to be solid picks, with both sluggers showing impressive power numbers against lefties in recent years.

But it’s not just the big names that could make an impact for the Twins on Sunday. DFS players looking for a value play could consider Jose Miranda, who has been crushing the ball in his last 25 plate appearances against pitchers with a similar repertoire to Corbin, posting a whopping .917 slugging percentage. Donovan Solano, Ryan Jeffers, and Michael Taylor could also provide some upside at low salaries, with each showing some success against lefties in the past.

It’s worth noting, however, that Corbin has fared relatively well against hitters like Max Kepler, Joey Gallo, and Christian Vazquez, so DFS players should approach these matchups with caution. Similarly, Willi Castro, Trevor Larnach, and Nick Gordon have limited data available on their matchups with Corbin, so it’s hard to predict their potential impact.

Overall, the Twins batters offer a solid combination of power and value for DFS players looking to stack up against Corbin on Sunday. Pitchers with similar repertoires to Corbin have struggled against the Twins over the last year, giving DFS players even more reason to consider stacking Minnesota’s lineup in their lineups. As always, it’s important to do your due diligence and consider factors such as ownership percentage and projected value when building your DFS lineups.

Braves vs Christian Javier

Let’s take a look at the Atlanta Braves’ lineup for today’s game against the Houston Astros.

First up is Ronald Acuna, who is projected to bat first in the lineup. Acuna has been on fire against right-handed pitchers with high groundball rates like Cristian Javier, posting an OPS of 1.045 over the last two seasons. However, the Braves as a team have struggled against top-tier right-handed pitchers like Javier, striking out at a rate of 29.3% over the last two years so there is some risk with this stack.

Matt Olson, projected to bat second, hasn’t had much success against Javier, batting just .154 (2-13) against him. Austin Riley, projected to bat third, has been much more effective against top tier right-handers like Javier, slugging .535 in his last 45 plate appearances.

Sean Murphy, batting fourth, has struggled against pitchers with a similar repertoire to Javier, batting just .160 (8-for-50) over the last two seasons. Ozzie Albies, batting fifth, has been slumping recently, batting just .143 over the last five days.

Sam Hilliard, projected to bat ninth, has been hitting the ball well lately, slugging .531 in his last 32 at-bats. Eddie Rosario, projected to bat sixth, has had great success against top tier right-handers like Valdez, posting an OPS of 1.783 in 11 at-bats over the last two seasons.

Marcell Ozuna, batting seventh, has struggled against right-handers with high groundball rates like Valdez, batting just .196 (10-for-51) over the last two seasons. Vaughn Grissom, projected to bat eighth, doesn’t have much matchup data against Javier.

Kevin Pillar, projected to bat seventh if he gets the start, has been hitting well against pitchers with a similar repertoire to Valdez, slugging .520 over the last two seasons. However, he has struggled against right-handers with high groundball rates, batting just .220 (9-for-41) over the last two years.

Finally, Eli White and Chadwick Tromp, both projected to bat ninth if they get the start, haven’t had much success against pitchers with a similar repertoire to Valdez, with White posting a Well-Hit Rate of just 5.7% in 35 at-bats over the last two seasons.

Brewers vs Bryan Bello

In today’s matchup against the Boston Red Sox, Christian Yelich is projected to be the top-performing batter for the Milwaukee Brewers. Yelich has been on fire lately, with an OPS of 1.067 in his last 15 at-bats. He’ll be facing off against Brayan Bello, a right-handed pitcher who has struggled against top-tier batters like Yelich. The current Brewers lineup has been batting .272 against bottom-tier right-handers like Bello over the past two years, giving Yelich a great chance to put up big numbers.

Meanwhile, Willy Adames and Rowdy Tellez are also expected to perform well against Bello. Although matchup data is limited, it appears to favor Tellez in this case. Jesse Winker, on the other hand, has been struggling lately with a batting average of just .071 in his last five games. However, he still has the potential to be a strong performer for the Brewers today.

Other Brewers batters like Brian Anderson and Owen Miller will need to step up their game, as they’ve been batting poorly over the past few games. William Contreras, the Brewers’ catcher, has been slugging .494 in his last 87 plate appearances against bottom-tier right-handers like Bello over the past two seasons, making him another potential standout in today’s game.

Overall, Yelich and the Brewers lineup have a good chance to perform well against Bello and the Red Sox. With Yelich leading the way, the Brewers could put up big numbers and secure a victory in today’s game.

Rangers vs Kyle Muller

Let’s take a closer look at the top batter matchups for the Rangers and see who is poised to deliver a big performance.

Adolis Garcia is one player to keep an eye on. He’s been on fire lately, slugging .627 in his last 51 AB’s. With the Rangers facing off against pitcher Kyle Muller, Garcia’s matchup is looking very favorable today as he’s coming off a monster 3 HR game yesterday. He’s projected to bat fourth and comes in with a DK rating of 92.28 and a projected score of 10.09.

Another player who could deliver a big performance is Marcus Semien. He’s been on a hot streak lately, with an OPS of 1.325 in his last 14 AB’s over the past five days. Semien is projected to bat first and comes in with a DK rating of 85.63 and a projected score of 10.07.

Nate Lowe is another Rangers player to keep an eye on. While matchup data is limited, pitchers with similar repertoires to Muller have an ERA of 5.70 against the Rangers over the last year. Lowe is projected to bat third and comes in with a DK rating of 59.74 and a projected score of 9.19.

Finally, Jonah Heim is a player to watch out for, with an impressive slugging percentage of .757 in his last 37 AB’s. Heim is projected to bat sixth and comes in with a DK rating of 92.45 and a projected score of 8.32.

While matchup data is limited for some players, the Rangers are poised to deliver a strong performance against Muller. The Rangers have done well in the past vs pitchers with a similar repertoire. Look for these players to make an impact and potentially lead the Rangers to a victory.
