Houston Astros
Martin Perez may not be as bad as a lot of people make him out to be, but I'll assure you he's not very good at all. Perez is a lefty who has struggled every single year against righties, sitting somewhere between .340 and .360 in each of the last 5 seasons. He's also struggled against lefties to start this season, so I don't hate a tournament flier on a guy like Reddick if he's in the lineup. Jose Altuve, George Springer, and Carlos Correa will all be very popular and make for extremely solid plays at their respective positions. Honestly, the Astros have about 7 guys you can play comfortably. Gattis, Gonzalez, and Gurriel are all best suited for stacks where the top 4 will be much higher owned. In cash games, just go ahead and play the chalk bats. They are chalk for a reason and that reason is a .400 wOBA by both Springer and Altuve against lefties. They also move from Minute Maid Park to Globe Life Park in Arlington, which is a big deal. The entire Astros lineup is in play here and you can get super sneaky in tournaments if you'd like.
Main Stack - Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, George Springer, Evan Gattis
Sneaky Stack - Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, Marwin Gonzalez, Alex Bergman
Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers are rarely one of the top stacks, as the environment in LA is rarely conducive to runs. The Dodgers head on the road to take on the Brewers in Miller Park. Miller Park was a top 10 park for power in 2016 and rated 8th the year before. They face off with a pitcher in Zach Davies who has been absolutely atrocious. While I doubt we can expect the horrid numbers he has posted so far this year to continue, you can expect him to struggle against both sides of the plate. He has no great pitch and relies on painting the corners. The Dodgers are not a team to mess with, littered with big bats all through the lineup. Corey Seager and Adrian Gonzalez are both fantastic plays in cash and should be higher owned than they will be. Yasmani Grandal and Cody Bellinger are another 2 that will be very popular and both make excellent plays. If you're looking to get a bit sneaky, don't hesitate to target a Puig or Forsythe, who will be much lesser owned.
Main Stack - Corey Seager, Adrian Gonzalez, Yasmani Grandal, Cody Bellinger
Sneaky Stack - Corey Seager, Adrian Gonzalez, Cody Bellinger, Yasiel Puig
