Astros:

We missed last night on this one, but in any event, they still have the highest total on the board for early slates by over an entire run. That's quite a lot. Once again, you will have to use some of the cheaper guy in this lineup ie. Marwin Gonzalez, Jake Marisnick, Brian McCann. I would also be in favor or using Lance McCullers with your stack in this one. Houston gets to beat on Matt Moore today which is good news considering Houston had a .347 wOBA against LHP last year.....good for 2nd in the MLB.

EX: Alex Bregman, Carlos Correa, Marwin Gonzalez / Jose Altuve, Marwin Gonzlaez, Jake Marisnick / Alex Bregman, George Springer, Evan Gattis

Yankees:

Though you could use Houston here as well, and might want to entertain doing so, I like the Yankees as a play here with CC Sabathia. Obviously you are going to have a difficult time using Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton so get that out of your head. I would tilt toward Stanton in this one. Marco Estrada has had one of the highest fly ball % in baseball history. It is miraculous he is still a major league pitcher. You can get away with that against the Rays, not against the Yankees, and especially not this year. Just to reiterate...Marco Estrada...50% FB rate last year.

EX: Giancarlo Stanton, CC Sabathia, Didi Gregorious, Brett Gardner / Brett Gardner, Giancarlo Stanton, Neil Walker/ Brett Gardner, Giancarlo Stanton, Tyler Wade

A's:

This should be an under the radar type of play today with so much ownership falling on Houston. As pointed out yesterday, Khris Davis had 34/41 home runs come against RHP last year. Matt Shoemaker does not exactly have blow away stuff so Oakland could easily hit 3-4 homeruns off him today. Matt Joyce may also lead off today at 3.2k on DK which is a fabulous price. Jedd Lowrie is in the 3-hole at 3.3k. At these prices you can easily pair this stack with NYY.

EX: Matt Joyce, Khris Davis, Jed Lowrie, Giancarlo Stanton, Brett Gardner, Matt Olson / Matt Joyce, Marcus Semien, Khris Davis, George Springer, Alex Bregman
