Please note that the Rockies are the overall top team to stack at home tonight.  They have the highest projected run total, and don’t mind a full game stack, or a repeat of last night’s pairing with the Giants.   

Reds @ Braves

The Braves disappointed last night, but both teams had plenty of opportunities, and believe we will see a higher run total in Atlanta tonight. Julio Teheran is coming off a seven inning shutout at Coors, but I’m not buying another gem tonight from him. Teheran is just 1-8 with a 7.07 ERA at home this season, and the Reds scored five runs off eleven hits in only five innings vs him earlier this year.  He has also allowed two or more homers in three of his past nine starts. The Reds hit three long balls in the first game of this series, and after Julio exits, Reds hitters have 68 HRs (22.0 AB/HR) versus relief pitchers this season (Rank: 1st of 30 in MLB)

Stephenson is making his third start for the Reds, having pitched two innings of relief last weekend since coming off the DL. He has shown control problems this year, as Stephenson had an over .200 WHIP before pitching a few solid innings this month.  Not too much to go on with two of his starts being vs the Marlins, but Vegas likes the Braves to score over five runs tonight, and have them as the favorites. Kemp may also return to the lineup tonight, and we saw how A-Gon was able to contribute right away last night for the Dodgers. 

Both teams have solid price tags tonight if looking to pay up for pitching in gpp’s tonight. The Braves have much friendlier salaries.

Top Braves Stack Picks:  Matt Kemp, Tyler Flowers, Ender InciarteNick Markakis, Freddie Freeman (DK)

Top Reds Stack Picks:  Joey Votto, Adam Duvall, Scooter Gennett, Zack Cozart

White Sox @ Rangers

This game was supposed to be have the final score that the Cards @ Pirates had last night, but only Nicky Delmonico produced, having his second two homer game of the week. I think the Rangers offense bounces back nicely tonight vs their former teammate in Holland.  Holland allowed five runs in 5.1 innings earlier this year vs the Rangers, a game in which they scored ten total runs. Holland has had seven starts since then, with one win, while allowing five or more runs in four of those starts. The Rangers have the highest projected run total of the night after the Rockies

The Sox offense is still hit or miss, and the same could be said about Perez, who starts for Texas tonight. He’s won his last two starts, allowing just three runs over 14 innings.  In his two previous starts though, he allowed 15 runs over nine innings. The White Sox are batting .277 versus LHP this season (Rank: 5th of 30 in MLB; League Avg: .255), and have hit at least one home run in ten straight games (The Rangers have the second longest streak with seven straight games). 

Similar to the first stack, there is salary to be saved with these stacks to pay up for pitching. Texas, of course, will cost you much more, but still cheaper than the Rockies.

Top Suggested Stack:

Rangers:  Adrian Beltre, Elvis Andrus, Mike Napoli, Delino DeShields.

White Sox:  Jose Abreu, Yoan Moncada, Kevan Smith, Nicky Delmonico
