Colorado Rockies / St. Louis Cardinals

Of course, both of these offenses are squarely in play. Coors Field is on a different planet when it comes to MLB ballparks. The ball flies and the runs pile up. With an over/under sitting at 11, the Rockies and Cardinals hold the 1st and 3rd highest implied team totals on the board. The Rockies are a slight home favorite and are very nice plays against Adam Wainwright. I will say, make sure you have the 2 big lefties in every stack. He's been much worse against them over the past year or two and without his changeup, he has no hope. Carlos Gonzalez and Charlie Blackmon are my favorites, with Ian Desmond and Nolan Arenado coming next. However, this is Coors Field and the production can come from anywhere. Mark Reynolds and Trevor Story both have a ton of upside, while a hitter like LeMahieu is rather safe in this environment. You can't really go wrong here. On the Cardinals side, it's a bit more cut and dry. Against a lefty, you want to target Fowler, Piscotty, Gyorko, and Grichuk. They all hit righties well and have HR upside at any point. On the flip side, we don't expect Kyle Freeland to remain in this game very long, Therefore, I;m willing to target a guy like Matt Carpenter. Carpenter, in Coors Field, will not be heavily owned. There's a chance he sees 3 at-bats against a righty in the bullpen, in which case he should be 45% owned. Whatever way you decide to go, I would make sure to get Fowler and Piscotty. I don't see this team having much success without their contribution. All in all, this game will hold the highest ownership of the night. There are 16 different guys to choose from and literally, all of them are in play.

COL Main Stack - Charlie Blackmon, Nolan Arenado, Carlos Gonzalez, Ian Desmond

COL Sneaky Stack - Charlie Blackmon, Carlos Gonzalez, Mark Reynolds, Trevor Story

STL Main Stack - Dexter Fowler, Stephen Piscotty, Matt Carpenter, Jedd Gyroko

STL Sneaky Stack - Dexter Fowler, Stephen Piscotty, Jedd Gyorko, Randal Grichuk

Boston Red Sox

Rob Whalen pitched a little bit last year, but is more so a guy we'll be looking at minor league stats with. He was pretty good last year in terms of surface stats, though a 4 BB/9 and a 7 K/9 in AA is quite scary. He's certainly not expected to come out here and have a good game. Vegas has the Red Sox implied to score 5.65 runs, which is actually higher than the St. Louis Cardinals in Coors Field.The Sox are turning into the offense we all knew from last year, which is one of the most dangerous, if not the most. Whalen a righty, allowed a .341 combined wOBA in his short MLB stint in 2016. He's been worse against lefties in the minors, though I definitely don't think the righties need to be avoided. Benintendi and HanRam are my 2 favorites, with Betts a close 3rd. Mitch Moreland is also a guy I like, as he hits righties well and hits the sinker extremely well. He will be one of the lower owned options and I always like to take guys facing off with their favorite pitch type. Looking a bit safer, Pedroia and Bogaerts are definitely in play. While Pedroia is a guy I usually ignore in stacks on the road, the green monster gives him an opportunity to hit one out. There are a lot of different ways to go with this stack and I don't think any of them are wrong.

Main Stack - Mookie Betts, Hanley Ramirez, Andrew Benintendi, Xander Bogaerts

Sneaky Stack - Mookie Betts, Andrew Benintendi, Mitch Moreland, Sandy Leon
