The top 5 teams with the highest 8+ runs percentages are good teams to stack in DFS because they consistently score a high number of runs, increasing the chances of success for a lineup featuring multiple hitters from those teams. However, it is important to consider the LevX scores for each team. While SF, MIL, SEA, and CHC have positive LevX scores, indicating that they are potentially undervalued, the NYY has a negative LevX score on both DK and FD platforms. This means that their ownership is high relative to their chances of scoring 8+ runs, which can make them a less optimal choice for stacking compared to the other teams in the top 5.

Zac Gallen leads the pack with an impressive 88.60% Top_5_finish percentage, while Nestor Cortes has the highest Large Field Own% difference to the average at 41.65%. Both Freddy Peralta and Hunter Brown have low ownership percentages, making them potentially valuable picks due to their high Median scores and Top_5_finish percentages. Logan Gilbert, on the other hand, has a lower Top_5_finish percentage compared to the others, but his Large Field Own% difference to the average is positive at 12.61%.
An outlier in the dataset is Nestor Cortes, with a significantly higher Large Field Own% and Small Field Own% difference to the average compared to the other players in the top 5.
