Zach Thompson gives his top teams to consider for MLB DFS stacks on Saturday’s daily fantasy baseball slate on DraftKings.
All 30 teams in Major League Baseball are in action this Saturday, with the Cardinals and Reds playing a doubleheader to put 16 games on the scoreboard. Weather could be a factor throughout the daytime games, but the evening games look solid and ready to roll with 10 teams on the main Saturday night DFS fantasy baseball slate, which begins at 7:05 p.m. ET. The matchups include the second game of the Reds-Cards doubleheader, the second game of the big NL series between the Brewers and Dodgers, and a pair of divisional matchups from the AL and NL West to close out the evening. Several lineups stand out as excellent places to target when searching for offensive production, making them my top plays in Saturday’s MLB DFS Stacks.
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 the top spots.

The Snakes are hosting the Rockies at Chase Field in the final game of the night. They’ll take on Michael Lorenzen ($6,000), who has struggled in his first season in Colorado after starring in the WBC. In his 11 games, he is 2-6 with a 7.03 ERA and 5.25 FIP. He has just 36 strikeouts in 48 2/3 innings and has allowed nine homers and a 47.5% hard-hit rate. Lefties have especially had success against him, hitting .408 with a .515 wOBA, a .340 ISO and a .515 wOBA.
Switch-hitters Marte and Perdomo will hit from the left side in this matchup, and Carroll is already on the strong side of the splits. I highlighted Carroll in my top home run props for Saturday, and he comes into the matchup riding a 10-game hitting streak. He has averaged 13.4 FPTS per contest over that stretch and 14.6 FPTS in his five games this season against Colorado. Marte has also been heating up, averaging 12.1 FPTS over his last eight games with at least two total bases in six straight games.
Perdomo had a breakout season last year but got off to a slow start to 2026. He has picked things up lately, though, with 7.9 FPTS per game over his last seven games. Moreno can be a solid solution behind the plate and has 12+ FPTS in four of his last six games, and Waldschmidt has been bringing strong value from the bottom of the lineup. Waldschmidt swiped his fourth stolen base of the season on Friday and finished with 11 FPTS, boosting his average to 9.9 FPTS in his eight home games since his promotion and 8.7 FPTS in his last 10 contests overall.
After a washout on Friday, the Cardinals will play a twin bill at Great American Ball Park on Saturday. In the second game, they’ll face Chase Petty ($6,500) in a spot start. Petty allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings in his first MLB appearance of the season on May 4 against the Cubs. He has struggled at Triple-A, though, posting a 6.32 ERA and 5.16 FIP in eight games for the Louisville Bats. The 23-year-old gave up seven runs on eight hits in three innings in his last start on Sunday. In his 31 1/3 innings in Triple-A, he has a 1.63 WHIP and has served up five home runs.
The Cardinals’ offense has been scrappy this season, helping the team to a surprising 28-21 record. A huge part of their success has been the emergence of Jordan Walker and JJ Wetherholt as the faces of the Cardinals’ next wave of offense. Walker is averaging 10.2 FPTS per game on the season and hitting .295 with 13 homers on the year. He’s actually been more productive on the road than at home, producing 11.2 FPTS per game on the road. Wetherholt has also been excellent, averaging 8.8 FPTS per game overall this year and posting double-digit FPTS in four of his last 10.
Herrera had 19 FPTS on Thursday with his sixth homer of the season, and Torres can be a great value play to round out the stack if he gets the start against Petty on Saturday. Torres posted a .336/.454/.477 batting line with two homers and 10 stolen bases in Triple-A for the Memphis Redbirds, and he could be a great bargain if he is in the lineup with good speed upside.
The Brewers knocked off the Dodgers in the first game of the big NL series, 5-1 on Friday night. On Saturday, they’ll take on Roki Sasaki ($7,500), who has a 5.09 ERA and 5.53 FIP through his first eight games while going 2-3 with a 1.45 WHIP. Opponents have a 46.7% hard-hit rate and an 11.5% barrel rate against him and have connected on nine homers in his eight games. Sasaki was much better in his most recent outing, so there is some risk that he’s turning things around, but the Brewers are still a solid option in Saturday’s MLB DFS stacks and should offer solid leverage since they may go under-owned.
Turang and Chourio are a solid 1-2 punch at the top of the order for the Brewers. Turang is hitting .290 and is tied for the team lead with seven homers as well. He has averaged 11 FPTS per game at home this year and 8.8 FPTS in his last 10 games. Chourio got a late start to the season after an injury but has 12+ FPTS in three of his last seven games while averaging 9.1 FPTS per contest.
Contreras had the big hit on Friday with a homer and 26 FPTS. He has a seven-game hitting streak coming into Saturday’s matchup and has averaged 10.1 FPTS during that streak.
Mitchell missed Friday’s game but will likely return on Saturday after leaving Wednesday’s game with back tightness. David Hamilton is a good value as part of a wraparound stack if he hits ninth. He had 17 FPTS on Tuesday and 20 FPTS on Wednesday before sitting on Friday against the lefty. He brings good stolen base potential with three stolen bases in his last 10 games and 10 thefts on the season.
