If you’re looking to receive fantasy baseball advice ahead of Monday’s 10-game slate, we’ve got you covered. Here are options to bolster your DFS lineups with an elite hitter, a pitcher to stream, and a pitcher to fade. We also offer you the best lineup to stack.
Why the Los Angeles Dodgers Are the Best DFS Stack Against the Rockies
Stacking the Dodgers’ lineup doesn’t require a ton of analysis, and the reasoning is simple. This is the best lineup in baseball against the worst pitching staff in a hitter-friendly environment that also happens to be the highest-scoring ballpark. Every single stack should begin with Shohei Ohtani, but there are several other options to consider.
Will Smith and Andy Pages are value picks at their respective positions. Teoscar Hernandez is enjoying a power surge with three homers and a .514 slugging percentage over his last 10 games. And Freddie Freeman is always a threat to go yard, same as Kyle Tucker, who should benefit from the hitting-friendly conditions at Coors Field.
It might be expensive to stack the Dodgers, but the upside is clearly there against 37-year-old veteran Jose Quintana, who owns a 5.63 ERA and 1.88 WHIP in 2026.
Why You Should Target Jordan Walker in DFS Formats on Monday
Jordan Walker is enjoying an impressive start to the season, and while he’s in a bit of a slump with five straight games without a home run, he has displayed outstanding power and excellent bat-to-ball skills so far in 2026, qualities that make him an attractive slugger to target to anchor your fantasy baseball lineups. Furthermore, Walker has hit .308 with an impressive 1.019 OPS in April thus far.
The most attractive part of this matchup is the fact that he’ll be facing Max Meyer, who has given up nine homers over his last eight starts at home and allows 1.87 HR/9 at home. The fact that Walker has seven homers since the beginning of April is enough reason to believe he might thrive in this favorable matchup.
Colin Rea: A Top Streaming Pitcher Option for Monday
Rea might not be the most attractive option in Monday’s 10-game slate, but he already knows what it means to be successful against the Phillies this season. His most recent start saw him pitch six innings and earn the win against Philadelphia last week at Citizens Bank Park, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks with five strikeouts.
Yes, those are far from eye-popping results from a fantasy perspective, but Rea will have the advantage of pitching in Wrigley Field, one of the most pitching-friendly venues so far in 2026. He could be worth the risk of adding if you need someone to eat innings or simply boost your rotation at an affordable cost.
Rea has a 3.63 ERA and 15:3 K:BB across 17.1 innings this season, and he’s limited Phillies hitters to a .236 average and a .285 wOBA in 111 plate appearances throughout his career.
Why You Should Fade Aaron Nola in Monday DFS Lineups
Nola isn’t the pitcher he once was. Even though he remains a capable arm in most fantasy formats, he doesn’t have the most attractive matchup on Monday since he’ll have the task of facing a Chicago Cubs lineup that has won five games in a row and is trending in the right direction after a subpar, inconsistent start to the campaign.
Nola posted a 6.01 ERA across 17 starts in 2025, and while things have been a bit better in 2026, he still owns a 4.03 ERA and 24:6 K:BB across 22.1 innings. That might not be enough to deal with a red-hot Cubs offense, so even if he’ll have the advantage of pitching at Wrigley Field, you could find better options to start Monday than Nola.
