C Will Smith, San Diego Padres at Los Angeles Dodgers ($4,500 – DraftKings/2,900-Fanduel)

To start today’s MLB DFS postseason lineups, Will Smith of the Los Angeles Dodgers should start. To end the regular season, Smith went 2-5 with an RBI, a walk, and a strikeout.

Smith could have a solid game against Dylan Cease, a flawed pitcher this season. Fantasy players could see a home run from Smith who has solid numbers in the postseason.

1B Josh Naylor, Detroit Tigers at Cleveland Guardians ($4,200 – DraftKings/3,000-Fanduel)

Josh Naylor of the Cleveland Guardians is the next player to start for today’s fantasy baseball lineups. During his last game played, Naylor went 2-4 during a win against the Astros.

Naylor has solid numbers against the Tigers this season and could have a home run for fantasy players. With the Tigers pitching besides Skubal, they could have a tough series and fantasy players should get the safe pick with Naylor today.

2B Bryson Stott, New York Mets at Philadelphia Phillies ($4,100 – DraftKings/3,000-Fanduel)

The last player to have for your fantasy lineups is Bryson Stott of the Philadelphia Phillies. To end the Phillies season, Stott went 1-4 with an RBI in the win against the Nationals.

Stott could have a breakout postseason game against the Mets with a home run during the last postseason. With the Phillies’ power being a fantasy player’s dream, they could have a fun night with Stott in the lineup.

3B Mark Vientos, New York Mets at Philadelphia Phillies (4,100 – DraftKings/2,700-Fanduel)

Mark Vientos is the first player who should be on your MLB DFS postseason fantasy benches this Saturday afternoon. During the Wild Card win against the Brewers, Vientos went 0-4 with three strikeouts.

With the Phillies having their ace on the mound against the Mets on Saturday, Vientos could struggle again. Fantasy players should avoid Vientos to start the weekend.

SS Anthony Volpe, Kansas City Royals at New York Yankees ($3,600 – DraftKings/2,900-Fanduel)

Anthony Volpe of the New York Yankees is another player to put on today’s postseason fantasy benches. During his last game of the season, Volpe went 0-2 with two walks, a stolen base, and a strikeout.

Volpe will face a strong Royals pitching with Wacha on the mound in The Bronx. While fantasy players will have a strong Yankees lineup, Volpe could struggle with a multi-strikeout game.

OF Riley Greene, Detroit Tigers at Cleveland Guardians ($4,600-DraftKings/2,900-Fanduel)

Riley Greene of the New York Mets is the last player to sit for tonight’s MLB DFS postseason fantasy pools. During the Wild Card win against the Astros, Greene went 0-4 with a walk, and two strikeouts.

While a solid player during this postseason, Greene could struggle against the Guardians pitching. Fantasy players should bench Greene for today with the Guardians pitching fully prepared against the Tigers.

October 5th MLB DFS Postseason Best Stack

Fantasy players for Saturday afternoon’s MLB DFS Postseason fantasy stacks should be Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, and Nick Castellanos. The Phillies after resting will have a top-tier lineup against the Mets today.
