New York Yankees

This early slate has a few offenses to target, but the Yankees are undoubtedly my favorite. They face off with the worst pitcher in Yovani Gallardo and have the most potent offense. Gallardo has struggled against both sides of the plate this year, but is a lot worse against righties. Through 57 innings, he's given up a .372 wOBA and 13 home runs. Both Gary Sanchez and Aaron Judge should have a lot of fun here and are the 2 guys you can't leave off of a Yankees stack. After the duo, you can really go anywhere. Aaron Hicks and Didi Gregorius hit lefties and righties well, so you won't have to worry about who's coming out of the pen. Towards the bottom of the order, you get some power bats in Todd Frazier and Chase Headley. Starlin Castro just came off the DL as well, so keep an eye out for him in the lineup. Vegas has the Yanks slated at 5.55 runs, so you're going to want exposure in both cash games and tournaments.

Main Stack - Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge, Aaron Hicks, Didi Gregorious
Snaky Stack - Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge, Chase Headley, Todd Frazier

Cleveland Indians

This late slate is one I don't love for stacking. While we have plenty of offenses to target, I think a balanced approach may be the way to go. With that being said, the Indians are the top offense on the board. They face off with Jason Hammel, at home in Progressive Field. Hammel isn't the worst pitcher in the world, but he also isn't very good. A lot of his numbers are held up by Kauffmann Stadium and the insane spacious outfield. The move to Progressive Field will be tough on Hammel and I expect this Indians offense will nickel and dime him to death. You then run into guys like Edwin Encarnacion and Carlos Santana, who can hit it a mile. The stack has plenty of upside and I really don't think it will be over 15% owned. The Royals pen is below average and the runs should keep pouring in. Like I said, you might want some balance tonight, but a mini stack may be where it's at.

Main Stack - Jose Ramirez, Edwin Encarnacion, Francisco Lindor, Bradley Zimmer
Snaky Stack - Jose Ramirez, Edwin Encarnacion, Jay Bruce, Yan Gomes
