Early Slate

Chicago Cubs vs. Scott Feldman(CIN)

I liked this stack from simply a matchup standpoint long before I saw the weather forecast or run line this morning. Scott Feldman has been struggling lately giving up 12 earned runs in his last 10 innings pitched including five long balls. That is bad news as the Vegas total has eclipsed that of the Coors Field game thanks to a 16-20 mph winds blowing straight out to dead center field. The Cubs offense has also been rolling lately with a .343 wOBA, 109 wRC+ over the last 14 days with 19 home runs. Lock and load as many Cubs combos as possible.

Top Hitters to Stack: Jon Jay, Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Kyle Schwarber

Secondary Hitters to Target: Ben Zobrist, Alex Avila

 

 

 

Main Slate

Texas Rangers vs. Reynaldo Lopez(CWS)

The main slate is chalk full of weak offensive teams(PHI, SF, SD, STL, PIT) and that has me gravitating right to the Rangers. They have the highest run line(6.01) of any team on the main slate by a mile as they are coming off three straight wins where they scored 28 runs. While I am not expecting double-digit run production three night's in a row it is entirely possible as the White Sox will throw Reynaldo Lopez to the bump tonight. He is a top pitching prospect who came over in the Adam Eaton trade with the Nats. He has strikeout upside but has also shown that he can give up some long balls in the minors. He was touched up by Mike Moustakas in his first start, giving up two solo shots and now he has to deal with a Top 10 offense in one of the best hitters parks in the bigs, especially in the heat of summer.

Top Hitters to Stack: Shin-Soo Choo, Elvis Andrus, Nomar Mazara, Adrain Beltre

Secondary Options: Joey Gallo, Robinson Chirinos, Roughned Odor
