Arizona Diamondbacks

When a team outside of Coors Field has a higher implied team total than both teams inside Coors, you must take notice. The Diamondbacks currently hold a 5.77 total and I don't think Vegas is too bullish. Trevor Williams is absolutely horrible ad will be pitching in Chase Field, which is the 2nd best hitting environment in baseball. While the D-Backs are typically a team we stack against lefties, they have plenty going for them against right-handers. The usual suspects, Jake Lamb and David Peralta, are the 2 anchors here. They both hold .370+ wOBA's against righties and in Chase Field, aren't many better. Then we have A.J. Pollock and Paul Goldschmidt, the 2 best players on the team. While both righties, they have no problem with the same handedness. If you have the ability to pay up, I would recommend going with the top 4. If you need to pay down a bit or would like to get super sneaky, there are some options here. Yasmany Tomas and Brandon Drury both have a ton of power and could easily hit 2 HR's against Williams and this Pirates bullpen. Mathis and Owings are the 2 guys I would likely ignore, though Owings has definitely shown flashes in the past.

Main stack - A.J. Pollock, David Peralta, Paul Goldschmidt, Jake Lamb

Sneaky stack - Paul Goldschmidt, Jake Lamb, Yasmany Tomas, Brandon Drury

Dodgers / Rockies

Of course, these 2 offenses are in play. We have an 11 over/under with both teams projected to score around 5.5 runs. Personally, I like the Rockies a bit more. With Ian Desmond back, they are set up much better for lefties. Alex Wood does have a solid changeup, though I don't see that moving anywhere near how it does on most nights. In Coors Field, you like to target pitchers who rely on movement. Due to the elevation, the ball doesn't move the same way and will often hang up in the zone. For example, it's why we see the Rockies picking up guys like Jon Gray and Senzatela, who throw close to 100. They're moving away from the likes of Jorge De La Rosa ad Ubaldo Jimenez who routinely got destroyed at home. Back to the point, I like all of the Rockies. Arenado and Desmond are my favorites, but I don't hate targeting any of them. With that being said, the Odgers do have a solid bullpen and they will use it if the game is close. On the other side of the ball, the Dodgers will be facing off with a lefty in Tyler Anderson. Chris Taylor will likely see a bump in the order and he is definitely a solid price play. Seager is the other elite bat and I couldn't care less that he's a lefty. Let along the fact that Seager hits lefties well, I don't think Anderson lasts long here. He's dealing with an injury and a match-up in Coors Field with the Dodgers doesn't seem to be the cure. The right-handed dominant bullpen will then take over and I think we saw 3 or 3 at-bats for Seager against a righty. All in all, these stacks will be popular and there is definitely merit to looking lower in the order. Anyone can go off in Coors Field and we always see a few very unusual suspects as the season passes.

Rockies stack - Charlie Blackmon, Nolan Arenado, Ian Desmond, Carlos Gonzalez

Dodgers stack - Chris Taylor, Justin Turner, Corey Seager, Franklin Gutierrez
