Boston Red Sox

Wade Miley takes the mound in Fenway Park, which should be pretty entertaining. While Miley isn't the same gas can a lot of pitchers in the league are right now, he has 1 very prominent weakness. HR's to righties. In Fenway Park, that is a very scary weakness to have. Especially when it's so severe that you rank top 5 in HR allowed to righties in 3 straight seasons. He's also allowed a .367 wOBA and 18 home runs in 108 innings of work so far. He has been very good against lefties, but you never know who might come wobbling out of that pen. This Red Sox lineup is filthy at home and may end up playing pepper with the green monster in the 1st inning. Hanley is definitely my favorite and my pick for HR of the night. After that, look for righties. Mookie Betts, Chris Young, Eduardo Nunez, and Xander Bogaets are all extremely viable in both cash games and tournaments. You run into guys lowering the order like Sandy Leon and Jackie Bradley. They have upside, but don't go there outside of a large-field tourney. I'm not sure fading one of the top 4 guys will work out of if the Sox go off.

Main Stack - Hanley Ramirez, Eduardo Nunez, Mookie Betts, Chris Young
Sneaky Stack - Hanley Ramirez, Chris Young, Mookie Betts, Xander Bogaerts

Arizona Diamondbacks

I don't think the Diamondbacks have a lot of eyes on them tonight, but I could be completely off base. If they do stay under 15% like I expect, this is one of my favorite spots for the D-Backs all season long. Christopher Stratton is horrible and has survived with 3 of his first 4 starts in spacious AT&T Park. He now moves into Chase Field, which is the 2nd best hitting ballpark in baseball. It's also home to the insane left-handed beasts Jake Lamb and David Peralta. Stratton has allowed a .367 wOBA to lefties and if you convert that over to this park, it's probably in the .700's. I don't see the Diamondbacks having a "bad game". Worst case scenario, in my opinion, is the get 2 or 3 runs off this guys and he's out in the 5th inning. The best case for us would be Statton unable to find the K zone and leaving meatballs over the plate with guys on base. The sky is the limit for this stack and I'll have a ton of exposure. That is unless the whole world is on them by lock, of course.

Main Stack - Jake Lamb, David Peralta, Paul Goldschmidt, A.J. Pollock
Sneaky Stack - Jake Lamb, David Peralta, J.D. Martinez, Chris Hermann
