DraftKings MLB Scoring & Strategy
DraftKings MLB uses a scoring format where hitters earn points for singles (3), doubles (5), triples (8), home runs (10), RBIs (2), runs (2), walks (2), and stolen bases (5). Pitchers score 2 pts per inning pitched, 2 per strikeout, plus bonuses for wins and quality starts. The $50,000 salary cap covers 10 roster spots: P, P, C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF.
The most effective DraftKings MLB strategy is hitter stacking — rostering 4-5 hitters from the same lineup in consecutive batting order spots. Target teams with high implied run totals facing weak starting pitchers. Pair your stack with an elite pitcher on the mound and fill remaining spots with value plays from a secondary mini-stack. Use our optimizer's stacking tools to build these correlated lineups automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a DraftKings lineup optimizer?
- A DraftKings lineup optimizer is a tool that uses algorithms to build the highest-projected fantasy lineups while respecting salary cap constraints, roster requirements, and your custom settings like player locks, exposure limits, and stacking preferences. Instead of manually building lineups, the optimizer generates mathematically optimal combinations in seconds.
- How much does the FTA DraftKings optimizer cost?
- FTA+ memberships start at just $9.99/week or $29.99/month, making it one of the most affordable DFS optimizer tools available. This includes full access to the lineup optimizer, ownership projections, player props, and all premium features across NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL.
- Can I use the optimizer for free?
- FTA offers a free preview of the optimizer interface and projections. To generate optimized lineups, access ownership data, and use advanced features like stacking and exposure limits, an FTA+ subscription is required. We frequently offer free trial periods so you can test all features before committing.
- What sports does the FTA optimizer support?
- The FTA optimizer supports all four major North American sports: NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL. Each sport has specialized features - NFL includes game stacking and QB-WR correlation, NBA uses pace-based projections, MLB incorporates park factors and weather, and NHL leverages line combination data.
- How do ownership projections help in DFS?
- Ownership projections tell you what percentage of the field is expected to roster each player. In tournaments (GPPs), finding low-owned players with high upside creates leverage - if your contrarian pick hits, fewer opponents benefit. In cash games, matching popular picks reduces risk. Ownership data is essential for building differentiated tournament lineups.
