MLB Stacks Friday, May 18th

Toronto Blue Jays

The Blue Jays come into this game with an implied run total sitting at 4.89, which is fifth highest on the slate, so Vegas is projecting them to score some runs. They are up against Brett Anderson , who is giving up a .475 wOBA to right-handed hitters and a .341 wOBA to left-handed hitters. Those are some rough numbers, but they don’t stop there. He is giving up 2.53 HR/9 to right-handed hitters and has a 15% walk rate vs left-handed hitters. Simply put, he is struggling vs all hitters, and getting himself into trouble with walks and hits, and then one big home run. At that rate, you can really roster whoever you want and can stack them up depending on what type of salary you have available. Look for Josh Donaldson , Justin Smoak , Kevin Pillar , Teoscar Hernández (if he plays), and Curtis Granderson .

Atlanta Braves

The Braves are up against Dan Straily who is a fly ball pitcher, and thus a threat to give up some home runs. He has a 52% fly ball rate vs right-handed hitters which won’t end well for him since this game is being played in Atlanta, which is a solid hitter’s park. In a limited sample size this season, Straily is giving up a .478 wOBA to lefties and a .319 wOBA to righties. This is all part of the reason why the Braves come in with an implied run total sitting at 5.17, which is second highest on the slate. Freddie Freeman , Ozzie Albies , Ronald Acuna , Kurt Suzuki and Nick Markakis is where you should be looking to start your stacks, with Johan Camargo and José Bautista for some salary relief.

Chicago White Sox

Listen, Matt Moore is not a good pitcher, and you should be looking to stack against him anytime he is on the slate. He comes in giving up a .530 wOBA to left-handed hitters and a .396 wOBA to righties this season. He is also giving up 3.60 HR/9 to lefties and 1.60 HR/9 to righties. Those are some rough numbers, and a White Sox Stack could be the way to go tonight for the flexibility they bring to your lineup. The White Sox most expensive player on FanDuel is only $3,500, while on DraftKings he is $4,300. That really isn’t that expensive, so you will be able to pair them off with another team’s full stack. You should be looking to roster Yoán Moncada, José Abreu, Matt Davidson , and Welington Castillo .
