Friday’s 13-game main MLB DFS slate is loaded with options to kick off the weekend, starting at 7:05 p.m. ET. With several teams near the top of their rotation, there are some matchups to avoid, but there are also some strong places to go looking for offense. Let’s dive into the matchups and find some MLB DFS stacks to build your lineup around on Friday.

Before we get to the individual selections for these contests, let’s define exactly what we’re searching for. An ideal target for MLB DFS stacks is a team well-positioned to score plenty of runs based on its matchup and ballpark. “Stacking” is the strategy of adding multiple players from the same MLB lineup to your roster to boost each other’s production.

Ideally, MLB DFS stacks focus on players who are either back-to-back or from the same part of the lineup to allow positive correlation. Since most run-scoring plays produce fantasy points for multiple players, stacking a high-scoring team can carry your entry to the top of the leaderboard. The key to MLB DFS stacks paying off is finding the perfect matchup to attack, so let’s take a look at Monday’s top spots to attack.

1. Chicago White Sox

Munetaka Murakami ($5,400)
Colson Montgomery ($4,800)
Miguel Vargas ($4,300)
Everson Pereira ($3,400)
Andrew Benintendi ($3,100)

The White Sox come home to a friendly hitting environment at Rate Field, with a favorable matchup against Miles Mikolas ($5,700) — who will work most of the innings after PJ Poulin ($4,000) as an opener. The White Sox got their bats going on their six-game road trip to Sacramento and Phoenix, scoring 44 total runs against the Diamondbacks and A’s. Mikolas pitches to a lot of contact, and Chicago has been connecting for tons of loud contact over the past week. The team smashed an MLB-high 16 homers during this stretch with a .421 wOBA and 45.7% hard-hit rate.

The power surge has been led by the scorching hot Munetaka Murakami. The Japanese slugger homered in five straight games before going 1-for-5 with three punchouts on Thursday. He is averaging 14.8 FPTS over his last 10 games. Miguel Vargas has been almost as hot, homering in three straight contests before going 1-for-4 with a stolen base on Thursday. He averaged 11.2 FPTS over his last 10 games and is actually on the strong side of the splits this season against Mikolas.

Andrew Benintendi is a good value option, especially if he hits leadoff — though he may drop down in the order with the lefty opener. He homered on Thursday and posted 23 FPTS, giving him at least 18 FPTS in three of his last six starts. Colson Montgomery has been right in the middle of the recent success as well, with at least 9 FPTS in six straight games and an average of 12.5 FPTS over his last 10 contests.

Back at home, it’ll be interesting to see if the White Sox’s young offense keeps clicking. But with a matchup against Mikolas, they’re a great stack to consider Friday night.

2. Los Angeles Angels

Mike Trout ($5,900)
Zach Neto ($5,300)
Jo Adell ($4,300)
Oswald Peraza ($3,100)
Bryce Teodosio ($2,200)

The Angels are starting their series against the Royals in Kansas City with a matchup against Noah Cameron ($7,200), who impressed last year as a rookie but is struggling in his sophomore season. Cameron has given up 14 runs in his four starts this year across 20 innings, giving him a 5.40 ERA and a 5.60 FIP. He has allowed five homers, a 48.5% hard-hit rate, and a 15.2% barrel rate.

Mike Trout is having a resurgent season, hitting .239 with at least five FPTS in 13 straight games, averaging 14.2 FPTS over that span. He finished with 25 FPTS after launching his eighth home run of the season — and stealing a base — on Wednesday.

Zach Neto has at least seven FPTS in five of his last six games and offers both power and speed potential from the leadoff spot.

Jo Adell has hit all three of his homers against lefties like Cameron and brings nice power potential. Oswald Peraza and Bryce Teodosio can also be cheap ways to finish out the stack and grab a piece of the run production. Teodosio is much more known for his glove than his bat, but he picked up two hits on Wednesday and is a bargain way to build a wraparound stack if he hits ninth.

3. New York Yankees

Aaron Judge ($6,500)
Ben Rice ($5,500)
Giancarlo Stanton ($4,400)
Jazz Chisholm Jr. ($3,900)
Trent Grisham ($3,700)

The Yankees swept the Red Sox in Boston to start the week and now head to Houston, looking to build on their six-game winning streak. They’re an expensive stack to consider, but against Lance McCullers Jr. ($6,800), they should be able to keep the offense rolling. McCullers was great in his first start of the season against the Red Sox, but has since allowed 13 runs on 15 hits in 13.1 innings. The Cardinals tagged him for four runs in five innings in his last start, which was also at home. He has allowed a 50% hard-hit rate, which ranks in MLB’s 10th percentile.

Aaron Judge is only 3-for-17 in his career against McCullers, but one of those hits left the yard. Giancarlo Stanton is 3-for-8 with a home run, a double, and four walks. Trent Grisham is 2-for-3 with a double in his small sample. He’ll be a solid value, especially if he’s hitting leadoff.

Jazz Chisholm had 19 FPTS on Thursday with his first homer of the year, and he also picked up a pair of hits on Tuesday. Ben Rice has averaged 13.3 FPTS over his last six starts and brings a very high ceiling against righties.
