So, I'll start this off by saying I had an entire playbook written for you guys today but a mis-click and a tech error has lost that so we pivot!
Starting Pitching
For starting pitchers tonight its going to be Sonny Gray at the top against the Miami Marlins. Gray has been unreal of late and well Miami is Miami. I actually like the opposing pitcher in the match up as well with Pablo Lopez returning from the IL. At home this season Lopez has a 2.13 ERA over seven starts with 42 strikeouts over 42.1 innings. A few others starters worth mentioning here are Brad Keller , Dustin May and Eric Lauer . Both Keller and Lauer have been pitching well and have really good home splits. May just has some decent upside here against the Padres whom he has already faced this season.
Team Stacks
My top stack today personally is going to be the Brewers as they face off against Adam Wainwright . Wainwright has been horrible on the road this season with an ERA near 7.00. He has also been killed by lefties - insert Christian Yelich , Yasmani Grandal, Eric Thames and Mike Moustakas into those lineups. For value, how about a little Cory Spangenberg eh?
The Mariners and Yankees should be a good game stack to look at. The Yankees are sending J.A. Happ and his 5.00+ ERA to the mound while the Mariners are going with the "Opener" in Matt Wisler before going with southpaw Tommy Milone . For the Yankees I like Aaron Judge , DJ LeMahieu and Gio Urshela . For the Marinres I am looking mostly at Austin Nola and Tom Murphy .
The Royals are my contrarian play here as they face off against their former teammate in Homer Bailey . Bailey really isn't this good of a starter and while he has pitched better of late I am still liking the low owned likes of Jorge Soler , Hunter Dozier and Whitt Merrifield to possibly have themselves a day at his expense.
