Strategy Guide for VIP Members ONLY
What’s up VIP DFS Army members! I wanted to create a nice and clean format for you guys to use this on your own. It should help you organize and structure your own MME strategy using my guidelines and format. I will release my own daily plays as well and keep things as usual – but for those that need help and a format, please open this tab daily and refer to it for the guidelines!
Also – if you’re new to MLB DFS or the DFSA, then this page should be open in a separate tab every single day you plan on playing.
Pitchers and Stacks Guidelines for FanDuel and DraftKings
The following advice is okay to be used on FanDuel and DraftKings for anywhere between 20-150 lineup entries. It’s important that the more lineups you make the higher the exposure cap I find acceptable. I.E., if you have 150 lineups, I don’t mind having the max exposure set at 60-70%. The fewer lineups you have, let’s say 20-50, I really don’t want more than 50% exposure to any one team or pitcher. Make sure you adjust this on that sliding scale. *The more lineups you have the higher the acceptable max exposure limit – vice versa*
Pitchers Guidelines
Make sure you have a minimum of 5-10% on each of the following, however, similar to our max exposure guidelines above – the more lineups you have the more acceptable it is to target any one player or stack with a higher exposure. If you have 150 lineups and love CC Sabathia, then throw 20% minimum on him which would result in 30 lineups out of your 150. If you only have 20 lineups, you might want to just have 10% or so which would result in a minimum of 2 lineups with CC. *Just remember, your pitching percentage on DraftKings is 200% total due to there being 2 pitching slots. I am normally more apt to have a higher minimum exposure on DK just due to the two pitcher spots*
Stacking Guidelines
The first “group” of teams are your primary targets. Your goal is to make sure that you have the largest portion of lineups with these teams fully stacked with the 4-4 settings and 2 or 3 uniques (2 on slates that are smaller and 3 on the larger slates).
The second “group” of teams are your secondary and tertiary targets. You’ll want to sprinkle them in a little on their own and a few of them with your favorite teams from the first group.

Helpful Hints for Using the Domination Station
- If you ever ask for 10-lineups with your stacks/pitchers/settings and it spits back less than you asked for – you have two options.
- You can choose to just download, highlight and copy, then paste those into your final upload file and roll with those
- You can simply just ask the DS to create 20/25 lineups and when it makes more than the 10 you asked for just download, highlight and copy the first 10, then paste those 10 into your final upload file and roll with those. I don’t get too scientific with this as I normally am pressed for time.
- When my pitching pool is bigger than 3 or 4 pitchers, I try to just set a 20% minimum on my favorite 1 or 2 pitchers only when running my stack from my primary Group 1. This ensures that if I run an Astros and Braves stack for 10 lineups, that I make sure that CC Sabathia is in 2 of those 10 lineups. If I start asking the DS to have minimum % on multiple pitchers – this is when the DS only spits back 3 or 4 out of the 10 lineups I asked for.
- I run 4-4 on FanDuel for every single lineup.
- I run 3-5 on DraftKings for each stack for half of what I want then 5-3 for the other half. 5 out of 10 would be 3-5 then 5-3 for the other 5 making 10 total stacks with the two teams I had selected. If that is confusing or too time-consuming just use 4-4 for all 10 and you are good to go!
- Let’s say you are making 150 lineups and you did all your groups/pairings and were able to create 110 of your 150 stacks and you realize you don’t have any more ideas. Take those last 40 lineups and get crazy. This is when you start to create some stacks with teams you never feel comfortable about but that might be in a decent spot. Padres facing a left-handed pitcher that gives up a lot of fly balls – go ahead and run the Padres at 100% exposure (in the stack settings) and leave the other 100% open (don’t label any other team). As long as the settings are at 3-5 on DK or 4-4 on FD – the DS will automatically make full stacks 3/5 and 4/4 with whatever team it deems most optimal to go with the Padres. That’s a next level tip that nearly nobody knew about until you read this!
