The early slate has come and gone, but I’m here to roll out some pitchers and stacks worth targeting in the MLB DFS streets on Saturday night. DraftKings has a fun little 7-game slate on hand, and we have some decent pitching as well as some explosive spots for offenses.
Want to know which pitchers you can (probably) trust tonight? Or which offenses to load up on? I’ll walk you through my favorite arms and the stacks I’ll be targeting the most.
Top MLB DFS Pitcher Picks for Saturday
- Logan Webb ($9.2k)
- Emmet Sheehan ($7.3k)
- Kyle Harrison ($8.2k)
- Ranger Suarez ($8.3k)
- German Marquez ($6.4k)
Okay, I lied, the pitching sucks. But hey, Logan Webb is a good real life arm and the Orioles aren’t as imposing as their power suggests. Camden Yards is great for offense and they do have a lot of power, but Webb can suppress it and typically shuts righty power down.
More than that, we’re light on pitchers we can trust. Webb is a little pricey for a suboptimal spot, but he’s also the best we got. Will I stack O’s against his chalky ass? You better believe it, but he has the best projection and one of the top ceilings.
Sheehan is the best dollar for dollar arm tonight. He’s operating in a hitter-friendly park with the wind blowing out, but he’s at least facing the Rangers and not the Dodgers. He owns the 2nd best projection of the slate and any risk you’re taking on is baked into this cheap salary. I am down to target him with Texas stacks if his ownership gets stupid, though, as the Rangers should field a shit ton of lefties against him and so far this year (small sample size and all) he’s gotten abused from that side of the plate.
Harrison is probably the top overall play. At least, that’s what they’re saying. They, as in the field and lineup optimizers, as he’s presently pulling more ownership than anyone. His price is nice, he’s at home in a solid park for pitching, and so far in 2026 his K rate is sick (33.5%).
Washington (24% K rate) seems to be cool with whiffing, but let it be known that the Nats have been annoying as hell to start the year. For that reason, I will be firing up some Nationals stacks. But on paper, Harrison looks like a top-3 play.
I will likely keep most of my pitching exposure to these top three dudes. There are other OK plays, but I’d rather punt with Marquez against the Rockies or pivot from Harrison to Suarez. Those moves are purely matchup based, not due to projections.
Best MLB DFS Stacks for 4/11
- Dodgers
- Brewers
- Padres
- Red Sox
Los Angeles needs no sales pitch. Jack Leiter is getting tattooed by lefties so far in 2026 and it’s the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium with the wind blowing out. I might go away from the chasey Max Muncy slightly, but L.A. bats look like a ton of fun if we can afford them.
Milwaukee looks quite good as well. The park is meh and they tend to be better against right-handed pitching, but I think they can get to Foster Griffin here. They have one of the best projected run totals of the slate and I think they’re a bit scarier here than some of their numbers imply. I’m cool with being under-weight if they’re super owned, though.
San Diego is the best dollar for dollar stack. The only issue is they’re in a historically pitcher-friendly park. The good news is they face Ryan Feltner, who has been Not Good against righties. Tatis and Machado get us going early, but a full San Diego stack looks quite appealing.
Boston is also shaping up as a quality stack. If we’re just looking at the numbers, they grade out swimmingly and Kyle Leahy could be in trouble. The park factor could work against them here, but it’s warm and they have plenty of pop to work with. I’m fine being aggressive here, depending on where the field lands.
- Other Stacks: Braves, Orioles, Rangers, and Nats
Of this crop, ATL looks the best. Parker Messick offers a .180 ISO to righties so far this year and it’s warm in Atlanta. The Braves have some power and look solid enough here. Baltimore, Texas, and Washington are all ownership leverage stacks.
Baltimore is the most compelling since they’re in a solid park for offense, but Washington offers maximum leverage. Texas might be the weakest leverage stack of the three, but with Sheehan getting ownership and the wind blowing out in a hitter’s park, they look tempting as balls.
Top MLB DFS Hitter Picks for Saturday
- C: William Contreras ($4.5k)
- 1B: Gavin Sheets ($3.5k)
- 2B: Brice Turang ($5.1k)
- 3B: Manny Machado ($5k)
- SS: Corey Seager ($4.3k)
- OF: Shohei Ohtani ($6.5k)
Contreras and Turang are a part of Brewers stacks, but we can target them as solo MLB DFS picks as well. Contreras offers power and is the preferred spend between the two due to the matchup, but it’s worth noting that Turang is more reliable and 2B sucks.
Sheets is a value and a strong bat with or without Padres stacks. Machado is right there with them, but he’s pricey, making Sheets the much easier guy to get to and clear priority.
Seager is a good value and in a good hitting environment. Where you’re not playing Sheehan, I love Seager in a revenge spot and offering nice value.
Ohtani is Ohtani. You can play him at 1B or OF but I don’t see why you’d fade him if you have the cash. There’s a case to fade if you’re not playing Dodgers at all, but I really don’t want any part of that. I am probably firing up at least 3 man Dodgers stacks and he’ll certainly be the first click I make. If I die, I die.
