Blue Jays
The Blue Jays get to face off with the Angels today, who are running a "bullpen game". The starter, Yusmeiro Petit, will be limited to around 40 pitches. He's always been a great arm out of the pen, but he's never been able to transition to a starter, despite multiple attempts. He'll be gone by the 4th inning and hopefully, the Jays are able to do some damage by then. Coming into the 4th, the game will be given to the bullpen. With Hernandez and Bedrosian pitching last night, they will see the likes of Parker, Middleton, and Pounders. Parker is pretty good and will likely be given the reigns if they have the lead. If not, Pounders and Middleton can be taken advantage of in a huge way. This Jays lineup is obviously lethal and they can do damage from a lot of different spots. Bautista, Donaldson, and Morales are the guys with the biggest pop and I'd likely have them on all Jays stacks. After, the lineup is very spread out and you can really go anywhere. Russell Martin is fairly priced and fills one of the weaker positions in C.
Main Stack - Josh Donaldson, Jose Bautista, Kendrys Morales, Russell Martin
Sneaky Stack - Josh Donaldson, Jose Bautista, Justin Smoak, Troy Tulowitzki
Baltimore Orioles
Austin Bibens-Dirkx is a fraud. He should not be in the majors, or even AAA. He's a 32-year-old AA pitcher who is loved by Rangers fans. He's gotten lucky in 2 starts and has found a way to get another. While his .340 combined wOBA is bad enough, a .210 BABIP is pretty astonishing. The wOBA will end up over .380 and I doubt this guy has many starts left, if any. He's just as bad against righties as he is lefties and has always struggled with the HR. He hosts the Orioles tonight in Globe Life Park, where the ball flies. The O's are an inherently risky team and it doesn't really matter who they are facing. They are always candidates to strike out 15 times and hit 2 homers. They can also obliterate a pitcher and send him packing. Chris Davis and Manny Machado are my 2 favorites with Trumbo following closely. You can go anywhere after that, but Schoop and Kim do stand above the rest. All in all, you get an insanely risky team in a great power park against a horrrrrrible pitcher. They are the only team with a 6+ implied run total on the slate and while they may end up popular, I'm fine with it.
Main Stack - Manny Machado, Chris Davis, Mark Trumbo, Jonathan Schoop
Sneaky Stack - Manny Machado, Chris Davis, Adam Jones, Trey Mancini
