FanDuel MLB DFS Cheat Sheet: Aug. 27 Picks And Stacks

Today's free FanDuel MLB DFS cheat sheet from Stokastic has one towering piece of chalk. Milwaukee's Jacob Misiorowski projects for 41.91 FanDuel points, 5.44 clear of Chris Sale, and the Aug. 27 field knows it: 45.3% projected ownership, the highest of any player on the sheet. On a one-pitcher site that single roster spot is the whole question — and the Sims' answer runs through Sale's 39.3% exposure and a Giants–Diamondbacks game that supplies three of the leverage panel's five names.

The Quick Answer

Bobby Witt Jr. is the sheet's clearest call: 52.0% top-150 exposure and the best leverage at 25.5% on 26.5% ownership. At pitcher, the Sims roster Sale (39.3%) and Misiorowski (40.7%) almost evenly, but Sale comes at just over half the ownership. The top four-man stack is San Francisco's hitters against Arizona at 19.3%. The full board and the Witt build are below.

Today's Board For Aug. 27

The pitcher rows carry today's tension: Misiorowski's 40.7% exposure actually sits under his 45.3% ownership, so the Sims take the chalk arm slightly less often than the field does — while Sale, at 39.3% exposure, is the quiet edge they spend that difference on.

Stacks On FanDuel's Four-Batter Cap

FanDuel caps you at four batters per team, and San Francisco against Arizona (19.3%) is the cap's best use: Rafael Devers (25.1% leverage) and Jung Hoo Lee (18.9%) give one stack two of the panel's top four leverage bats, with correlation doing the rest. The value panel backs the same game: Turner Hill (3.78) and Nate Furman (3.72) are both San Francisco bats. There is no Arizona stack in the top five, but the Sims are on Corbin Carroll individually at 39.3% exposure on 21.1% ownership, a one-bat run-back. Kansas City–Toronto lands in the top four from both dugouts, the sheet's clearest two-sided stack spot: Witt fronts the 14.7% Royals side while Vladimir Guerrero Jr., today's top value at 4.14 and 19.4% leverage, anchors Toronto's 10.0% answer and George Springer (3.73) stretches it. The short cap frees slots for one-off values, and FanDuel vs. DraftKings covers why those one-offs matter more here than on a five-man site.

Worked Example: Witt Into The Kansas City Build

Witt's row is the entry:

1. Start him: top exposure and top leverage on the same sheet.
2. Extend to four Royals in the 14.7% stack against Toronto.
3. Pick the arm: in Witt builds I take Sale, 20.6 ownership points lighter than Misiorowski for nearly identical exposure; Misiorowski's 41.91 headlines the rest.
4. Fill the last four bats: Devers, Lee and Furman from the Giants side (three of FanDuel's four-per-team allowance) and Guerrero as the Toronto run-back. That is one pitcher, a four-Royal core and four leverage bats; confirm the salary and position fit in the MLB DFS projections, ownership and stacks in the DataHub.

The field puts 45.3% of its ownership on one arm; the Sims put nearly the same exposure on Sale and spend their conviction on a shortstop and a four-batter Giants stack. Eat the chalk or take the gap: that call is Aug. 27.
