Below are stacks to consider for Friday’s 14-game main slate.

Detroit Tigers

The Tigers will be in Boston tonight, and this game has “game stack” written all over it. The pitching matchup will be Brian Johnson for the Sox against Jordan Zimmermann for the Tigers.

Zimmermann has been woefully bad this year with an ERA barely under 6.00 and an xFIP of 5.49 that shows his troubles are legit. He’s also allowing well more than two home runs per nine innings. Johnson has been good in two starts this season, but his strikeout and walk numbers in those two starts far exceed what he was able to do in Triple-A over the last three seasons, so regression is to be expected.

Unfortunately for both pitchers, Boston is a very friendly hitter’s park. Using a three-year weighted average of ESPN’s Runs Park Factor, Boston is the second most hitter-friendly park in the league.

Johnson is a left-hander, and the Tigers are tied for the fifth best wRC+ against lefties this season. Dating back to last season, J.D Martinez (166 wRC+), Miguel Cabrera (148) and Ian Kinsler (141) are Detroit’s best hitters against left-handed pitching.

Those three typically hit 1-3-5 in the lineup with Nick Castellanos in the two hole and Victor Martinez hitting cleanup. However, Victor did sit last time Detroit faced a lefty, allowing J.D. to move up to the cleanup spot. Castellanos has had some BABIP issues against lefties dating back to last season, but his hard-hit rate against them in that span is over 40 percent with an ISO above .200. Either Castellanos or Victor (or both) are options to fill in the gaps between Kinsler/Miggy/J.D.

On the other side you’ve got the Red Sox who have a combined .428 wOBA in 84 total PA among active Sox against Zimmermann. Hanley Ramirez has seen him the most (30 PA) and owns a .453 wOBA against him. Mookie Betts has only faced him three times but reached base three times with a home run, a single, a walk and two steals.

Mookie will lead off and Hanley will hit fifth, so you’ll have to bridge the gap between them. After Mookie should be Andrew Benintendi, Xander Bogaerts and Mitch Moreland. Benintendi has a .351 wOBA against righties with pop, so he’s an easy choice. If you only want to use one of Bogaerts or Moreland, Bogaerts is a safer bet with a .346 wOBA vs. RHP dating back to last season but with only a .142 ISO. Moreland has a bit more upside with a .194 ISO, but he has been below average overall with a .316 wOBA. Jackie Bradley, Jr. is also a good candidate to be added to this stack out of the six-hole with a .355 wOBA vs. RHP.

Below is an example of a potential game stack lineup for this one with some potential high strikeout pitchers per our projections. Bear in mind that Boston has the highest expected total of the day in Vegas, so the Tigers are likely the more contrarian play if that’s what you’re after.

Washington Nationals

The Nationals have the third highest expected total in Vegas as of this writing, so this isn’t exactly a contrarian play either. But the Nats are tied for the third best wRC+ in the league against right-handed pitching, and tonight they’ll have the pleasure of facing Andrew Cashner.

Cashner has lucked his way to a 3.39 ERA so far despite doing almost nothing well. Most notably, his 10.2 percent strikeout rate and 11.4 percent walk rate are downright horrific. Yes, you read that right, he has walked more batters than he has struck out and has a 3.39 ERA. He also hasn’t managed contact all that well with hard- and soft-hit rates that are middling among today’s starters. If you’re being charitable, you can give him some love for his 50 percent ground ball rate, but that’s about it.

Cashner’s xFIP of 5.50 is a good indication of what you might be able to expect from Cashner going forward. In fact, that has been his ERA over his last three starts (5.32 xFIP) as the regression has begun.

Washington’s best hitters against right-handers dating back to last season are Daniel Murphy (158 wRC+), reverse splits guy Trea Turner (139) and Bryce Harper (137). Those three typically hit 1-3-5 in the order. Ryan Zimmerman usually hits cleanup and is a good way to streamline that stack a bit more. Zimm has been going very well with a .466 wOBA in his last 10.

Milwaukee Brewers

For a bit of a less obvious option, how about the Brewers? Milwaukee has the 14th highest expected total in Vegas of the 28 teams playing in the main slate.

The Brewers will be in Arizona tonight, which is one of the few parks that represents a positive park shift for Milwaukee when they go on the road. Miller Park is hitter-friendly, particularly as it relates to home runs, but Arizona’s park has the third highest weighted Runs Park Factor compared to the 11th highest for Miller Park.

Randall Delgado will start for the D’Backs, and while he has held his own in three starts this season, he has a 4.23 xFIP in his career as a starting pitcher with a 1.25 HR/9.

Eric Thames has started to heat back up a bit with a .416 wOBA in his last 10. Domingo Santana is hot right now with an eight-game hitting streak going in June in which he has a .447 wOBA. Those two will hit near the top of the order along with likely leadoff man Eric Sogard and Travis Shaw. Sogard is working on a four-game hitting streak in which he is 8-for-17, and Shaw is six for his last 13 with a home run and two stolen bases.
