DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Cleveland Indians vs Marcus Stroman

The Cleveland Indians are the best stack on the board for 50/50 contests. Marcus Stroman is likely the worst pitcher on the board, which is filled with great starters. Jake Arrieta and Rich Hill should keep the runs to a minimum, so targeting the Indians and Toronto Blue Jays game is a fantastic move. The Indians are one of the best hitting teams in the league. Use them.

Also Consider: Toronto Blue Jays vs Cleveland Indians

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Jake Arrieta ($10,800)

Jake Arrieta is a dominant right-handed pitcher. He should be able to keep the runs to a minimum against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers are actually one of the worst hitting teams left in the postseason. Last game, the Dodgers scored one. The Cubs scored zero. Clayton Kershaw was on the mound. Arrieta should win this game.

Rich Hill ($9,200)

Clayton Kershaw, the most dominant left-handed pitcher in the league, allowed zero runs yesterday to the Chicago Cubs. Rich Hill is also a dominant left-handed pitcher, so using him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments is a great move tonight. The Cubs have a great offense, but struggle against lefties.

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C) - Willson Contreras ($3,800)

Willson Contreras is undoubtedly the best catching option left this postseason. He also plays the outfield, which is nice on DraftKings, but he is better used at the thin catcher position. He has a lot of power and upside, something most catchers left do not have. Use him in all formats, even against the dominant left-handed Rich Hill tonight

First Base (1B) - Edwin Encarnacion ($4,000)

The Toronto Blue Jays are a powerful team with a high-upside offense. There is no doubting that. Edwin Encarnacion hit a home run a couple starts ago, and it would not be surprising to see him do it again. He has two home runs in his last four games. Use him in all formats, especially tournaments tonight against Trevor Bauer and the Cleveland Indians.

Second Base (2B) - Ben Zobrist ($3,900)

Ben Zobrist has been crushing the ball this postseason. In his last 10 games, he is only hitting .235, but has over eight fantasy points per game on average. He has 18 home runs and 78 RBIs, so his upside is there. His price tag is a little bit heavy, but with one or two value plays at pitcher or any of the position spots, he should be manageable.

Shortstop (SS) - Corey Seager ($4,000)

Corey Seager is not hitting all that well right now, but he is one of the best hitters in the league, and he is in play in all formats tonight. He gets a terrible matchup, but he has a lot of power and upside with 28 home runs and 75 RBIs this season. He is best suited for tournaments, but he will have to work in 50/50 contests as well.

Third Base (3B) - Josh Donaldson ($4,500)

Josh Donaldson is one of the best hitters in the league. He ended the season with a bang, and he has a lot of upside and potential in the postseason, as well. He is hitting almost .400 in his last 10 games with over eight fantasy points per game on average. Use him in all formats without hesitation.

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Dexter Fowler ($3,800)

The Chicago Cubs are the best team to stack tonight in tournaments. They get a tough matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers and are playing in Los Angeles, but home runs are bound to come. Dexter Fowler, despite his struggles this season, should be able to provide some upside. Use him in tournaments tonight against Rich Hill.

Jose Bautista ($3,900)

Jose Bautista has two home runs in his last six games. He has a lot of power and upside, which makes him dangerous in tournaments. Trevor Bauer will try to keep the runs to a minimum tonight, but these Blue Jay hitters are very hot. Use them in tournaments and 50/50 contests.
