Scoring Percentages and Stacking
ARI
- DK Team Own%: 67.5
- DK LevX: 12.00%
- FD Team Own%: 66.28
- FD LevX: 9.00%
Arizona Diamondbacks are showing solid numbers with high ownership percentages both on DraftKings and FanDuel. Their positive LevX on both platforms suggests that they could be a good team to stack.
SD
- DK Team Own%: 79.09
- DK LevX: 4.00%
- FD Team Own%: 91.15
- FD LevX: -1.50%
San Diego Padres are also showing high ownership percentages. However, their LevX on FanDuel is negative, indicating they might not be a good team to stack on that platform.
OAK
- DK Team Own%: 11.05
- DK LevX: 25.00%
- FD Team Own%: 10.01
- FD LevX: 25.00%
Oakland Athletics have lower ownership percentages, but their LevX on both platforms is high. This suggests they could be a potentially undervalued team to stack.
TOR
- DK Team Own%: 52.31
- DK LevX: 9.00%
- FD Team Own%: 40.52
- FD LevX: 14.50%
Toronto Blue Jays have moderate ownership percentages and positive LevX on both platforms. This suggests they could be a good team to stack.
NYY
- DK Team Own%: 22.9
- DK LevX: 19.50%
- FD Team Own%: 26.4
- FD LevX: 22.50%
New York Yankees have lower ownership percentages but very high LevX on both platforms. This makes them a potentially undervalued team to stack.
Stacking in Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) can be a successful strategy as it allows players to maximize their potential points if a particular team performs well. The five teams mentioned above (ARI, SD, OAK, TOR, NYY) are all good candidates for stacking based on their high 8+ runs percentages, indicating that they often score 8 or more runs in a game. However, it's worth noting that the LevX metric, which measures the leverage a team provides over the average team in the same slate, is negative for SD on FanDuel. This means that they may be overvalued on that platform. Conversely, teams with positive LevX, such as ARI, OAK, TOR, and NYY, are undervalued and thus could be good teams to stack as they may provide better value for money.

These players are considered good bets due to their high median scores, which indicate consistent performance levels. Notably, Jameson Taillon has the highest median score and also high percentages for Top_finish and Top_5_finish, making him a strong bet. Hunter Greene, though having a lower top finish percentage, has a high top 5 finish percentage and slightly higher ownership in large and small fields, indicating trust among many players.
Alex Wood and Pablo Lopez both exhibit steady performances, reflected in their median scores. Their ownership percentages are lower, which might make them less popular choices but potential winners in a competitive setting.
Charlie Morton stands out with a large field ownership percentage significantly higher than the dataset's average. Although his top finish and top 5 finish percentages are lower than others, the high ownership percentage indicates that many players believe in his potential to perform well. This may be due to factors not covered in this dataset, such as recent performance trends, team support, or individual skill factors.
