Step 2: Don’t Gamble on Packs
MLB The Show 18: How to Get Stubs Easily
A supplement to step 1 for learning how to get stubs is not buying packs, as tempting as they might be. Following this guide is guaranteed to slowly, over time, make you stubs so that way you have enough to get the players you want off of the community market without having to always grind out a program or pull a card.
