Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Bronson Arroyo
Park - Great American Ballpark

There are a lot of different teams we could of went with here, but the Dodgers are my personal favorite and deserve a ton of attention. We saw the Dodgers face off with Asher Wojciechowski yesterday and they were in this same article. They ended up scoring 10 runs and hitting 4 homers. If you rostered the recommended sneaky stack, you got all 4 homers and -7 RBI's, giving you a good shot at a top finish. Tonight they face someone even worse, Bronson Arroyo. Bronson Arroyo could very easily be the worst pitcher in the entire major leagues. He's allowed 23 home runs in under 70 innings, which is one of the more Ludacris stats I've heard in a long time. It;s like he's playing on 200-foot little league fields. He's nearing a 5 HR/9 against lefties, which by law should put him in federal prison for life. In seriousness, the guy is a horrible pitcher. He's allowing close to a .400 combined wOBA and hasn't been able to get anyone out for the most part. The Dodgers have plenty of weapons and we know they damage they can do with just a few swings. Corey Seager is the 100% block for me, as he's actually my favorite player on the entire slate at any position. You then work with a lot of different possibilities. With the Dodgers being so heavily owned on this slate, there is definitely merit to pivoting and targeting one of the lower in the order bats like Yasiel Puig or Chris Taylor. All in all, the Dodgers are expected to put up a bunch of runs from Vegas and I think they score even more. When you combined Bronson Arroyo and a tired Reds bullpen, you should have some fireworks in Great American Ballpark.

Main Stack - Corey Seager, Justin Turner, Cody Bellinger, Yasmani Grandal

Sneaky Stack - Corey Seager, Cody Bellinger, Chase Utley, Yasiel Puig

Cleveland Indians vs. Kyle Gibson
Park - Target Field

Kyle Gibson was never "good", but he did have a season where he settled in and didn't give up a bunch of runs in ever start. This year? Nope. This is the worst he's ever been and there isn't anything telling us it's luck or unluckiness in this case, either. Gibson has sported a .414 wOBA to lefties and a .377 against righties. That is just simply pitiful and not a pitcher that will last very long. He is allowing close to 2 HR per 9 and striking out just over 6, which is very low. He faces off with the Cleveland Indians, who usually do a lot of talking with their bats. The Indians are one of the most consistent offenses in the game and you can usually guess where the production is coming from. Carlos Santana and Encarnacion are both elite 1B, but Santana is cheaper and helps you fit more expensive pitching. You then get into the likes of Jason Kipnis and Francisco Lindor, who are gi=oing to be tough to fade in any stack. They make this offense runs and ar often the engines behind big innings. After the 3, things become a bit more wide open.

Main Stack - Jason Kipnis, Francisco Lindor, Carlos Santana, Jose Ramirez

Sneaky Stack - Jason Kipnis, Francisco Lindor, Edwin Encarnacion, Lonnie Chienhall
