#bankrollwise

Optimized MLB stacking ideas for FanDuel, with attached pitcher plus build direction—ready for small-bankroll entry or multi-lineup GPP play.

Stack 1: Milwaukee Brewers

Bats: Christian Yelich, Brice Turang, Andrew Vaughn, Isaiah Collins

Opposing Pitcher: Jake Irvin (Nationals)

Pair With: Zack Wheeler (Phillies) or Brandon Woodruff (Brewers)

Why: Irvin is a contact-prone starter with poor splits; Brewers bats are cheap, allowing you to pay up for top arms or a star from another stack.

Format: Cash or GPP

Stack 2: Cleveland Guardians

Bats: Jose Ramirez, Kyle Manzardo, Steven Kwan, Gabriel Arias

Opposing Pitcher: Jose Urena (Twins)

Pair With: Chris Bassitt (Blue Jays)

Why: Guardians lefties crush Urena’s splits; stack anchors with power/speed and value price points. Manzardo is especially cheap, Ramirez is your payoff play.

Format: Optimal for cash, fits GPP stacks too

Stack 3: Atlanta Braves

Bats: Ozzie Albies, Matt Olson, Austin Riley

Opposing Pitcher: Graham Ashcraft (Reds)

Pair With: Jack Flaherty (Dodgers)

Why: Great for tournament (GPP) builds—high upside, home park boost, multiple hot bats in play.

Format: GPP/focused high-upside tournaments

Stack 4: Oakland Athletics (Value)

Bats: Shea Langeliers, Nick Kurtz, Brent Rooker

Opposing Pitcher: Ryne Nelson (D-backs)

Pair With: Any top-tier pitcher, budget remains for extras

Why: Langeliers/Kurtz are scorching; this value stack gives you room for aces or a one-off Dodger or Yankee bat.

Format: GPP, cash as salary saver

Stack 5: Kansas City Royals (Leverage/Dart)

Bats: Salvador Perez, Maikel Garcia, Vinnie Pasquantino

Opposing Pitcher: Chris Bassitt (Blue Jays)

Pair With: Value SP2 for big-field GPP entry

Why: Royals will be low-rostered; stack for leverage if multi-entering or looking for off-board value.

Format: Deep GPP only

How to Use:

Build your main lineup around Brewers or Guardians stacks for safety/floor.

Use Athletics, Royals, or Braves for big-field tournaments or when you want to chase highest upside.

Always verify lineups and weather after 11:30 AM ET. Play 4-1, 3-2, or mini-stacks, adding one-off hot hitters as salary allows.

If you want a direct sample lineup, message for one built to your bankroll/entry style!
