The Orioles may not have a 6 run total like the Red Sox or Rockies, but they are expected to put up some runs. Facing off with Anibal Sanchez, i'd hope so. Sanchez has been bad against both sides of the plate and hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. With a .396 combined wOBA, you can target any of these bats. Manny Machado and Chris are obviously the 2 big ones, with Schoop and Trumbo closely behind. Anibal Sanchez is winding down his career and we may not see many starts after this one. Let's take advantage and capitalize on his meatball pitching. I also don't think the Os will be too popular, which always plays into tournament stacks. You don't want to be moving up the field with 30% of entrants, unless you have something to differentiate yourself.

Main Stack - Manny Machado, Chris Davis, Welington Castillo, Jonathan Schoop
Sneaky Stack - Jonathan Schoop, Manny Machado, Trey Mancini, Seth Smith

Boston Red Sox

Yep, you knew we would get here. The Red Sox are undoubtedly one of the top teams on this slate and it's fully backed up by a 6.5 Vegas line. They expect the Sox to destroy Mike Pelfrey and I can't say I disagree. Pelfrey isn't as bad as Shields against righties, but he's far worse against lefties. He's allowed a .422 wOBA and like Sanchez, absolutely no sign of improvement. This Red Sox order is very spread out and I can see myself going anywhere in a tournament. Andrew Benintendi and Rafael Devers are my 2 favorites, with Bogaerts and Betts following closely. With the Sox projected to put up over 6 runs, they should and will be popular. Don't be afraid to go off the board with a stack.

Main Stack - Mookie Betts, Rafael Devers, Andrew Benintendi, Xander Bogaerts
Sneaky Stack - Rafael Devers, Andrew benintendi, Jackie Bradley Jr., Mitch Moreland
