Daily Fantasy Baseball Stacks – Saturday, September 2

Three elite pitchers will be taking the mound Saturday with Max Scherzer, Corey Kluber and Chris Archer all scheduled to start. 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**

Corey Kluber vs. Detroit Tigers
Park – Comerica Park

Kluber continues to dominate this season as he is 13-4 with a 2.63 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 215 strikeouts in 160.2 innings. He was even better in August, posting a 5-1 record to go along with a 1.96 ERA and a ridiculous 0.63 WHIP. This is an excellent match up for Kluber Saturday against a Detroit Tigers team that has waived the white flag and traded away some of their best players, including slugging outfielder Justin Upton. Expect him to take advantage of their compromised lineup and throw another gem in this contest.

Lance Lynn vs. San Francisco Giants
Park – AT&T Park

Lynn may not get a ton of notoriety outside of St. Louis, but he is having an excellent season as he is 10-6 with a 3.14 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 132 strikeouts in 157.2 innings. He has been a model of consistency lately as he has allowed two earned runs or less in 10 of his last 11 games. The Giants are not a very good offensive team and they entered Friday with a terrible .668 OPS at home, which is the lowest in baseball. Lynn won’t cost you much, but he looks primed for another big performance.

**OFFENSIVE STACKS**

Cleveland Indians vs. Jordan Zimmermann (Detroit Tigers)
Park – Comerica Park

Zimmermann is having the worst season of his career as he is 8-11 with a 6.08 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and only 94 strikeouts in 145 innings. He has been even worse lately, allowing seven runs in three of his last four starts. Zimmermann’s 5.8 K/9 and 11.4 H/9 are certainly not a receipt for success. In two starts against the Indians this season, Zimmermann went 0-2 with a 9.35 ERA and 1.73 WHIP. Make sure you take advantage of this lopsided match up and stack your entries with Indians hitters.

Players to consider stacking: Edwin Encarnacion, Francisco Lindor and Yan Gomes

Minnesota Twins vs. Onelki Garcia (Kansas City Royals)
Park – Target Field

Garcia had a rough outing in his only start of the season Sunday against the Indians as he allowed five runs over 5.2 innings. He allowed eight hits and four walks while recording only two strikeouts, making for a very rough performance. His minor league numbers aren’t very impressive either as he posted a 4.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 22 appearances (12 starts). The Twins are on a roll as they battle for a playoff spot, so look for their offense to continue to put up crooked numbers Saturday.

Players to consider stacking: Brian Dozier, Jorge Polanco and Eddie Rosario
