Chicago Cubs

This early slate is a pretty interesting one. With 1 offense that stands above the rest, the ownership should be relatively spread out. FOr this spot in the stacks article, I considered 3 or 4 teams. I ended on the Cubs due to expected low ownership and their ability to hit left-handed pitching. They face Brent Suter, who's actually been very serviceable for the Brewers. He's been dominant against lefties, but has some holes against righties. He's allowed a .327 wOBA to them and has held a 1.5 HR/9. Miller Park is one of the friendliest parks in the game for righties and we know the Power the Cubs can bring. Kris Bryant is my top play in the order and probably my favorite play of the entire early slate. Willson Contreras and Anthony Rizzo are the next guys up. Contreras smashes lefties and Rizzo is actually just as good against them. Depending on the way the batting order goes, Ben Zobrist and Albert Almora are my next favorite. They are both very safe and should be good bet to get driven in by the Bryant's of the world. The Cubs are far from a slam dunk, but I don't think that's any different from any of these early games. Take a shot on a team with high upside that will likely be below 20% owned.

Main Stack - Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Ben Zobrist, Albert Almora
Sneaky Stack - Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Javier Baez, Albert Almora

Arizona Diamondbacks

This one is pretty easy. We do have a lot of solid offenses on this main slate, but none compare to the match-up the Diamondbacks are seeing. First things first, Vegas is expecting 5.82 runs, which is by far the highest of the day. Dillon Peters is a 25-year-old lefty who is not at all ready for the major leagues. He's only pitched 20 innings so far and they were full of trouble. He wasn't great in the minor leagues and didn't show any real upside with an 8 K/9 and a 2 BB/9 in AA. However, the Marlins farm system is the ugliest thing on Earth, so that's how guys like this are able to grab an opportunity. As a lefty, he'll move into Chase Field and face one of the more lethal lineups. Paul Goldschmidt is my favorite play on the slate and my pick for HR of the night. A.J. Pollock and J.D. Martinez are also both elite against lefties, while guys like Drury and Iannetaare very solid as well. If you do want to get crazy, I don't hate targeting Lamb or Peralta. Peters could be out by the 3rd inning and the Marlins don't have many lefties in the bullpen.

Main Stack - Paul Goldschmidt, A.J. Pollock, J.D. Martinez, Chris Ianetta
Sneaky Stack - Paul Goldschmidt, J.D. Martinez, Chris Ianneta, Brandon Drury
