Milwaukee Brewers

You have a few different teams to stack on this slate and I think it'll make the ownership rates all that more interesting. My favorite of the bunch happens to be the Brewers, who are facing off with Bartolo Colon. Colon is not only one of the worst pitchers on the slate, but one of the worst in the league. He's allowed a .407 wOBA to righties and a .384 to lefties. He gives up a ton of homers and isn't nearly as good at holding runners as he once was. Colon also got super lucky last week, which could keep some folks off the Brewers. The Brewers aren't a very concentrated lineup, so you can go a lot of different ways. Travis Shaw and Eric Thames are the 2 obvious guys and they belong in every Brewers stack. After that, pick your poison. You have the Broxton, Pina, and Arcia at the bottom of the order with power and Santana/Braun as the more expensive, safe options. All in all, they're projected to put up over 5 runs and should be a bit too low owned. Don't be afraid to take a shot against Bartolo Colon.

Main Stack - Eric Thames, Travis Shaw, Ryan Braun, Domingo Santana
Sneaky Stack - Eric Thames, Travis Shaw, Hernan Perez, Keon Broxton

Cincinnati Reds

Travis Wood has been around a while, and in his prime, he was decent. He's now about 5 years past that and one of the worst starters in the game. As a southpaw, he has some of the worst numbers you can find against righties. In just over 40 innings, he's allowed a .363 wOBA on a .271 BABIP. He now moves from Petco Park to Great American, where the ball flies. I expect Wood to be out of the game by the 5th inning and for this terrible Padres bullpen to take over. Zack Cozart is my unquestioned favorite of the bunch, considering he's put up a .490 wOBA against righties. Eugenio Suarez and Adam Duvall are next, followed by Votto and Hamilton. The team is very hit or miss and if they get to Wood early, can lead you to the top of a tournament with ease. They're another team that should be around 10-15% owned, which isn't too much at all in tournaments.

Main Stack - Zack Cozart, Eugenio Suarez, Adam Duvall, Joey Votto
Sneaky Stack - Zack Cozart, Eugenio Suarez, Patrick Kivlehan, Billy Hamilton
