Daily Fantasy Baseball Stacks – Saturday, June 24

There are several aces taking the mound Saturday, so look for some big strikeout totals. Put your favorite daily fantasy baseball stacks from the article below in our lineup optimizer and hit calculate. You can let it fill in the rest of the spots for you or choose your personal favorites from the MLB Player Lab.

**STARTING PITCHERS**

Robbie Ray vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Park – Chase Field

Ray had a sub par outing against the Phillies in his last start as he allowed four runs in 5.1 innings. However, he still provided value as he recorded seven strikeouts. Ray continues to be a strikeout machine as he has 114 in only 87.2 innings this season. His current 2.87 ERA and 1.14 WHIP are the best of his career and he already has seven wins, one shy of his career high. The Phillies offense is among the worst in baseball, so look for Ray to have a better outing against them at home this time around.

Lance Lynn vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Park – Busch Stadium

Lynn missed the entire 2016 season due to injury, but has returned to provide solid production this season as he has a 3.33 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 76 strikeouts in 78.1 innings. Lynn has been excellent at home this season, posting a 1.53 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over five starts. He has already faced the Pirates once this season and pitched seven scoreless innings while recording five strikeouts. The price is right to go with Lynn Saturday if you want to save some money at starting pitcher.

**OFFENSIVE STACKS**

New York Yankees vs. Austin Bibens-Dirkx (Texas Rangers)
Park – Yankee Stadium

Bibens-Dirkx has pitched in eight games this season, three of which were starts. On the surface, his 4.25 ERA and 1.05 WHIP would indicate he has at least had moderate success. The area of concern though is that he only has 18 strikeouts in 29.2 innings. He has also allowed six home runs already. Saturday presents a very difficult opponent in the Yankees who hit a ton of home runs. They can strike out a lot, but with Bibens-Dirkx not having that type of stuff, this could get ugly.

Players to consider stacking: Aaron Judge, Matt Holliday and Didi Gregorius

Texas Rangers vs. Luis Cessa (New York Yankees)
Park – Yankee Stadium

Cessa continues to fill in for the injured C.C. Sabathia, but he struggled in his last start against the Oakland Athletics as he allowed four runs over four innings. Cessa has only thrown 7.1 innings in the big leagues this season, but has already allowed two home runs. The long ball has been a problem throughout his short time in the majors as he has allowed 18 home runs in 77.2 career innings. The Rangers may not hit for average, but their lineup is loaded with power hitters. This game between the Rangers and Yankees has the potential to be a fireworks show.

Players to consider stacking: Adrian Beltre, Nomar Mazara and Joey Gallo
