Looking to build the perfect DraftKings MLB DFS Lineup for tonight’s massive 14-game slate? We have you covered with two underpriced pitchers, a high-upside stack and a path to cashing big using the Stokastic MLB Sims tools. Consider this your guide to building a sharp, +EV MLB DFS lineup on DraftKings.
DFS is tough. You won’t win every night. But every now and then, you’ll find a slate where mispriced players — especially pitchers — open up a clear edge. That’s exactly what we have tonight. The goal is to maximize opportunity and minimize risk without sacrificing upside. Let’s break down the core plays.
Perfect DraftKings MLB DFS Lineup: Optimal Strategy
Top Pitchers for Your DraftKings MLB DFS Lineup
Top Pitcher: Will Warren — $8,300
Warren checks every box tonight:
- Top 4 in Stokastic’s Top Pitcher Tool for value
- Highest Top-2 Pitcher Probability on the slate
- Massive Vegas support: -250 favorite, with Athletics carrying just a 3.7-run implied total
- Props: 6.5 strikeouts (juiced to the over), 1.5 earned runs allowed
Warren’s ownership will be high, but fading a clearly underpriced arm in a premier matchup is simply bad process. He’s a core piece for a perfect DraftKings lineup tonight.
SP2: Jose Soriano — $7,400
Soriano has flashed dominant upside with:
- 36% strikeout rate over his last three starts
- Elite ground ball rate (99th percentile)
- Only three home runs allowed in 93 innings
The only red flag is the Nationals might stack six lefties against him, and he’s been better against righties. But at $7,400, this is a pure price play. He’s projected as the sixth-best pitcher yet priced 17th among 28 options.
Top DraftKings MLB DFS Stack: Brewers
Stacking against Kyle Freeland is never a bad idea. He’s been vulnerable to right-handed power, with a .195 xISO and sub-9% swinging-strike rate since the start of last season. The Brewers:
- Are top 10 in stack value, score and ownership
- Have the sixth-highest implied run total on the slate
- Have reasonable that pricing opens flexibility for elite bats
Core targets: William Contreras, Rhys Hoskins, Jackson Chourio, Joey Ortiz, Caleb Durbin
You might need to work around some lefty bats (Christian Yelich, Sal Frelick), but the right-handed core offers tremendous ceiling with manageable ownership.
Filling Out the Rest: Use Sims for the Optimal Finish
