New York Yankees

The Yankees are clearly the top stack on this early slate. At least as far I can see. Anytime you have a reverse-splits righty going up against the Yankees, you should pay close attention. Both Sanchez and Judge are also reverse-splits hitters, so it makes the perfect recipe. Hellickson has allowed a .382 wOBA to righties and he has a huge HR problem. I can't imagine making a Yankees stack without either of those guys. The rest of the order is actually quite a mess and I don't see anywhere you must go. Starlin Castro has some upside and is at a position that lacks it. Gardner and Gregorius are solid lefties who should be pretty popular in the leadoff and 4 hole. I don't think stacking is a must on this early slate, but the Yankees are certainly the team I'd do it with. Hellickson is simply a bad pitcher and he should be out of there by the 4th or 5th inning at the latest. Expect some dingers.

Main Stack - Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge, Didi Gregorious, Starlin Castro
Sneaky Stack - Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge, Chase Headley, Todd Frazier

Colorado Rockies

I tend to stay away from Coors Field in this article, but I can't sit here and lie. The Rockies are the only team in stacking past 7 and I'm not sure there's even a team that's remotely close. Remember, the Rockies are very expensive, so you'll have to force things in to make them work. They face off with Jordan Lyles, who has been absolutely atrocious on the season. Against lefties, he has held a .436 wOBA and allowed a crazy 2.26 HR/9. He's not nearly as bad against righties with a .360 wOBA, but it's still bad. Charlie Blackmon is one of my favorite plays on the slate and he is a must here. As is Nolan Arenado. The rest of the guys come down to the batting order and who ends up where. I'm a big fan of Gerardo Parra and CarGo against this bad righty. We could easily see an HR frenzy in Coors tonight. The 12 over/under certainly implies it.

Main Stack - Charlie Blackmon, Nolan Arenado, Carlos Gonzalez, D.J. LeMahieu
Sneaky Stack - Charlie Blackmon, Nolan Arenado, Mark Reynolds, Trevor Story
