Weather
Looks like Chicago is an interesting spot. The Cubs host the White Sox. We have rain and winds blowing out.
That is a bullpen game for the White Sox, and Kevin Gausman is going for the Cubs. I don’t think we have interest in the pitchers there, even in a normal environment. But the weather report would push us off the pitchers.
Game Data
It’s Dodgers in Coors week. Those stacks came through last night. I ended up playing Ohtani, but not Muncy or Snell, so I didn’t get there.
So it’s another night of the slate being dictated around how to get Dodgers into the lineups. It’s Ryan Feltner for the Rockies. He is better than Sugano, but still not close to good enough to take us off the Dodgers. They got even more expensive:
$7100 for Ohtani, $5700 for Muncy, $6100 for Freeman, $4500 for Pages. It’s going to be tough, but we’re going to have to get there somehow.
The second-best spot is the Royals, again. This is just a repeat of last night’s slate. Last night, the proper path was Snell + Dodgers bats and then a bunch of punts to make the lineup work. They take on Jack Perkins in this one.
Pretty expensive at the top of the lineup, but lots of value in the 4-7 range. Maikel Garcia and Vinnie Pasquantino are both back and cheaper than they’ve been in the past. Although neither guy was hitting when healthy this year.
Spot 3 is Houston against George Klassen. So red flag alert there, we kinda like Klassen!
Klassen’s issue is mainly the walk rate. He has a 14.3% SwStr% and 57% GB%, and I love both of those numbers for him. So I’m off the Astros stack idea.
Spot 4: Texas vs. Jackson Kent
Kent is filling a role for the Nationals right now. He ramped up the velo and had a nice season in the minors, and he made a decent start in his debut. But he looks like a AAAA-type pitcher at best. So we can use Texas here at home.
Those are very nice prices for a five-man stack, but you probably can’t put them in there with Dodgers.
Spot 5: Cubs vs. White Sox bullpen
They could get a few innings against Erick Fedde. The White Sox bullpen does have four lefties, so they can try to neutralize PCA in that way.
The rain could be an issue, and the Cubs prices aren’t favorable, but they’re in play for a stack if it’s looking dry enough. Those winds are blowing out.
Other good matchups:
Nationals vs. Cal Quantrill
Red Sox vs. Merrill Kelly
Rockies vs. Eric Lauer
