PITCHERS:
Max Scherzer (@SD)
Nats are -205 favorites, total has dropped .5 runs since the open… 37 Ks over the last four full starts (one start there in between he only lasted one inning) … K prop of 10.5 tonight
Corey Kluber (@KC)
Indians were -175 favorites at the open, since gone to -205 … 4-0, 2.31 ERA, 57 Ks (most in MLB) over the last five starts… K prop of 9.5 tonight
Dallas Keuchel (vs OAK)
Astros were -220 favorites at the open, and have slightly gone down since… 4-1, 1.59 ERA in 6 starts at Minute Maid Park… 2-0 vs A’s this season, 16 Ks in 14.2 innings
Carlos Martinez (@PIT)
Good numbers against Pirates except for Marte and Polanco (who is on the DL)
Zack Godley (@MIN)
Very good numbers, underrated pitchers… K prop of 7 tonight
German Marquez (vs MIL)
-170 favorites, Brewers highest K-rate in every regard… K prop of 7 tonight
Sean Manaea (@HOU)
Great numbers against Astros, 17 Ks in 16.2 innings this season
Matt Moore (vs PHI)
-129 favorites at the open, and have since gone to -160… Phillies offense has struggled
STACKS:
Los Angeles Angels @ Baltimore Orioles
Great hitting environment with two shaky pitchers
Miami Marlins @ New York Mets
Both team IRTs have increased at least 0.4 runs, game total jumped from 9 to 10
Los Angeles Dodgers @ Detroit Tigers
Sneaky total of 10 in this game, but I don’t think it slid past too many people
CATCHERS:
Gary Sanchez (@BOS)
Best hitting catcher with 10-for-24, 5 XBH (4 HR), 11 RBI over the last seven games… 6-for-13, 4 XBH (3 HR) vs Pomeranz
Yasmany Grandal (@DET)
Terrible BvP numbers against Zimmermann, but it’s been a while since they faced off
Caleb Joseph (vs LAA)
I liked Wellington Castillo in this spot, but Joseph is still a capable fill-in
Travis d’Arnaud (vs MIA)
Decent numbers against LHPs… min-price on FD
FIRST BASEMEN:
Joey Votto (@ATL)
Hasn’t posted a 0 since July 25th… 4-for-9, 2 XBH (1 HR) vs Dickey
Joey Gallo (vs CHW)
Facing HR gopher Shields… +250 HR prop
Cody Bellinger (@DET)
Fantastic matchup against Zimmermann and the Dodgers are poised for a huge night
Eric Hosmer (vs CLE)
14-for-50, 9 XBH (3 HR) vs Kluber
Wil Myers (@WSH)
4-for-13, 3 XBH (2 HR) vs Scherzer
SECOND BASEMEN:
Daniel Murphy (@SD)
6 HR, .441 avg, 1.349 OPS on Fridays this season
Jonathan Schoop (vs LAA)
A trip back home could do him some good after a rough road trip
Rougned Odor (vs CHW)
Great matchup against Shields
Jason Kipnis (@KC)
Still way too cheap on FanDuel at $2600
THIRD BASEMEN:
Manny Machado (vs LAA)
11-for-27, 6 XBH (2 HR), 8 RBI, only 1 strikeout over the last six games
Mike Moustakas (vs CLE)
17-for-37, 7 XBH (1 HR) vs Kluber
Jose Ramirez (@KC)
5-for-16, 4 XBH vs Kennedy
Luis Valbuena (@BAL)
One of the best value plays on the board today
Ryan McMahon (vs MIL)
If Nolan Arenado is out of the lineup, McMahon is a great value option
SHORTSTOPS:
Trevor Story/Pat Valaika (vs MIL)
Both guys are fantastic options to include in a Rockies stack against Garza
Elvis Andrus (vs CHW)
.469 OBP, 12 runs, only 1 strikeout over the last seven games… 13-for-32, 4 XBH vs Shields
Tim Beckham (vs LAA)
12-for-26, 5 XBH (2 HR), 6 RBI, 7 runs over the last six games
Didi Gregorius (@BOS)
8-for-17, HR vs Pomeranz
Brandon Crawford (vs PHI)
Way too cheap on FD ($2300) up against a bad pitcher in Eflin
OUTFIELDERS:
Charlie Blackmon, Gerardo Parra, Carlos Gonzalez (vs MIL)
Blackmon: Best leadoff hitter in the game up against a weak pitcher
Parra: 7-for-18, 5 XBH vs Garza
Gonzalez: 3 career HR against Garza
Giancarlo Stanton (@NYM)
12-for-24, 5 HR, 9 RBI, 8 runs over the last six games… +250 HR prop
Mike Trout, Kole Calhoun (@BAL)
Trout: He’s struggled a bit on this current road trip, but this is a chance to get the best player in baseball at a microscopic ownership level
Calhoun: $3000 on FD is too cheap for a guy that can go yard against Hellickson
Shin-Soo Choo, Nomar Mazara (vs CHW)
Mazara: 13 RBI over the last seven games
Choo: Way too cheap at $3000 on FD in a fantastic matchup
Melky Cabrera (vs CLE)
17-for-36, 6 XBH vs Kluber
Jarrett Parker (vs PHI)
Hitting the ball very well of late… Only $2400 on FD against a bad pitcher in Eflin
