Offensive Stacks

Milwaukee Brewers vs Kyle Kendrick 

Kyle Kendrick made his first start of the season for the Red Sox when Steven Wright went out with an injury, and that first start didn't go so well. He gave up six runs, eight hits in only four innings, and the spot he is in tonight doesn't look great either. He is in Milwaukee which is a great hitter park versus a powerful Brewers offense. Top half of the Brewers lineup is in play, and you want to haves some Eric Thames, he has been crushing the ball to start the season, and should see more of that tonight.

FanDuel DFS Pitchers

Danny Salazar - P, @ TOR ($10,100)

Salazar has the potential to have some of the best strikeout upside in the majors. He has six or more strikeouts in all six of his starts this season, and is averaging almost 1.5 strikeouts per inning. He is up against the Blue Jays who have a 22% strikeout rate versus right-handed pitching. So this is a prime spot for Salazar up against a struggling Toronto offense. He is great for cash games, and should be among the chalk pitchers for the day. The only potential downside with him is that he hasn't pitched deep into games, and the point upside is limited.

Kenta Maeda - P, vs PIT ($8,700)

Maeda has put together two really nice starts in a row. He has eight strikeouts in each of his last two games, and only has three earned runs. Really strong numbers for a pitcher at his price point, and he is at home, which is a solid pitchers park. Maeda isn't a super safe cash option, but his tournament upside is really strong considering his last two starts, and he should be relatively lower owned.

FanDuel DFS Infielders

Yasmani Grandal - C, vs PIT ($2,900)

Grandal is among the more popular options at catcher for a lot of DFS players. He is generally pretty safe and has good upside. He has a .343 wOBA and a .175 ISO versus right-handed pitching this year. Pretty strong numbers from a position that isn't relied upon to provide a lot of fantasy production. Should be solid for any format.

Paul Goldschmidt -1B, vs DET ($4,600)

Goldy is always a great option at first base. Seems that the match up doesn't matter for him, and he is always ready to mash the ball. He is at home, which is a great hitters park, this is a spot to look to stack. He has a .337 wOBA and a .118 ISO versus left-handed pitching this season. His walk rate is also pretty high at 20%, so he will get on base for you, score points in almost every way.

Kolten Wong - 2B, @ MIA ($3,500)

Wong has scored fantasy points in 16 straight games. Trust me, I'm surprised too. Some people think the Cardinals offense isn't one of the better ones in the league, but they are hot right now and you can't deny that. Wong has a .359 wOBA and a 121 wRC+ versus right-handed pitching, and is in yet another good spot to continue scoring points.

Travis Shaw - 3B, vs BOS ($3,600)

Shaw had a really nice first month of the season and is a great option if you are looking to build some stacks. The Brewers have been scoring a lot this season, and he has 7 HR and 24 RBI. This game is in Milwaukee which is a great hitters park, so expect a goo amount of runs. Shaw has a .335 wOBA and a .277 ISO versus right-handed pitching this season. Great numbers and big power upside.

Tim Beckham - SS, vs KAN ($2,800)

Beckham is a great cheap option on the board today, and has solid numbers versus right-handed pitching. He has a .330 wOBA and a .276 ISO so far this season. For his price, you really can't ask for better numbers, and he is up against Hammel who is off to a rough start. With his savings, he is viable in all formats.

FanDuel DFS Outfielders

Marcell Ozuna - OF, vs STL ($4,100)

Ozuna is off to a blazing start this year, batting .325 with 11 HR and 29 RBI. An amazing first month, and he is always a great stacking option with Stanton, and Yelich. Ozuna is expensive, but his power upside is huge. He has three games over 24 fantasy points in his last six.  Best used in a stack, but as a one off also works.

Tommy Pham - OF, @ MIA ($2,600)

Pham just got called up at the end of last week, and has only played in a few games, but he is already making an impact for the Cardinals. 3 HR and 5 RBI, in his first four games, is something to take note of, and he is under 3K. Don't expect that level of production every time, but he has some magic going right now, and he is cheap.

Yasiel Puig - OF, vs PIT ($3,200)

Puig has always been a bit of a mystery when it comes to fantasy. We know he has the power upside to have a multiple home run game, just a matter of him being consistent. He has eight hits over his last five games and has put together a few nice games in a row. He has a .398 wOBA and a .276 ISO versus right handed pitching, so this is a juicy match up.
