Los Angeles Dodgers

Julio Teheran is always one of my favorite pitchers to target. Even though he's not one of the worst pitchers on the slate, you know exactly what to expect. Since the beginning of time, Teheran has dominated righties and been horrible against lefties. He's made absolutely no improvement and has shown no signs of it either. He's given up a .344 wOBA so far this year and with a .243 BABIP, it's only going to go way up. The Dodgers are obviously one of the best teams in the league and you can argue they are the best team against righties. Corey Seager and Cody Bellinger are 2 of my favorite plays on the entire slate and must plays if you're stacking the Dodgers. Joc Pederson and Justin Turner are next, with Grandal a close 5th. He's at a weaker position and has a ton of HR potential. This game will also take place in SunTrust Park, where the ball has flown for lefties. The Dodgers won't be overly owned and I love the upside they have in this match-up.

Main Stack - Corey Seager, Cody Bellinger, Justin Turner, Joc Pederson
Sneaky Stack - Corey Seager, Cody Bellinger, Chris Taylor, Logan Forsythe

Pittsburgh Pirates

You're guess is as good as mine as to why Robert Stephenson still has a job. I'm not saying he's hopeless, but he's certainly nowhere near ready. He needs to go back down to AA and work on striking out more guys than he walks. Over the last 2 years, he's given up a .400 wOBA against both sides of the plate. He's truly just a bad pitcher and you have to like this Pirates team, who has been swinging the bat well. Marte and McCutchen are always going to be th top 2 options on this team and the upside is limitless with both. Francisco Cervelli may be my 2nd favorite, as he destroys righties and will be very contrarian. Adam Frazier and Josh Bell are both good against righties and should come in between 10-15% owned. This slate has a lot of different ways to go and the Pirtes may not be as popular as they should be. Take advantage.

Main Stack - Andrew McCutchen, Starling Marte, Josh Bell, Adam Frazier
Sneaky Stack - Andrew McCutchen, Starling Marte, Josh Bell, Francisco Cervelli
