The definition of stacking
| POS | NAME | OPP | FPPG | SALARY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P | Hyun-Jin Ryu (LAD) | vs. MIA | 7.8 | 69K |
| C | Yasmani Grandal (LAD) | vs. MIA | 8.9 | 57K |
| SS | Corey Seager (LAD) | vs. MIA | 11.1 | 61K |
| 3B | Justin Turner (LAD) | vs. MIA | 10.2 | 58K |
| OF | Jackie Bradley Jr. (BOS) | at OAK | 7.6 | 47K |
Putting all your eggs in the Dodgers' basket is worth it in this matchup. Miami SP Edinson Volquez is 0-5 with a 4.41 ERA, and the Dodgers have been particularly strong within their home ball park this season. The Miami offense is last in runs scored over the past week, therefore increasing the value of Ryu.

Yo, Yo, Yolmer
| POS | NAME | OPP | FPPG | SALARY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P | Hyun-Jin Ryu (LAD) | vs. MIA | 7.8 | 69K |
| C | Yasmani Grandal (LAD) | vs. MIA | 8.9 | 57K |
| 2B | Yolmer Sanchez (CWS) | at SEA | 8.4 | 40K |
| 1B | Jose Abreu (CWS) | at SEA | 10.4 | 62K |
| OF | Avisail Garcia (CWS) | at SEA | 12.2 | 54K |
Ryu and Grandal are well-ahead of many of the other options at their respective positions. Stick with them in cash or tournament formats. The White Sox stack targets rookie SP Sam Gaviglio and Seattle's league-worst bullpen. Sanchez is a relative unknown in fantasy, but he's hitting .422 through the month of May. Garcia and Abreu will be the ones driving him in.
