It comes down to the Yankees and Diamondbacks on this early slate. When looking at Aaron Blair and Homer Bailey, I just have more confidence in Aaron Blair stinking it up. Blair is a guy who hasn't pitched since 2016, when he was absolutely atrocious. He posted a .432 wOBA against lefties and a .337 against righties. He throws 4 pitches but at this point just 3. His fastball is decent but when it's the only pitch you can throw for a strike, it doesn't work. He also allows stolen bases and has a hard time controlling base runners. Jake Lamb and David Peralta are obviously the 2 studs and you should not ignore either. There 2 of the best 10 bats in this league against righties when in Chase Field. After those 2, you have to go with 2 of Pollock, Goldy, and Martinez. They all have plenty of upside and safety.

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

Chicago Cubs

The Cubs are easily the best stack on this main slate. Implied to score 5.82 runs, they hold the highest on the slate and match with the D-Backs for the day. The Cubs have the honor of facing off with James Shields, who is certainly one of the worst pitchers in the league. Shields has allowed a .442 wOBA to lefties and a .321 to righties that is relatively dominant. He's given up 12 homers in 40 innings and doesn't look to be changing his ways much from last season. As for the Cubs side, we know what they offer. Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant are 2 of the best bats in baseball and both must be on the stack. You then get into Ben Zobrist and Kyle Schwarber, who are surrounding. They are both great plays in all formats. The likes of Contreras, Russell, and Baez will all go under-owned and have a ton of upside in the matchup. In tournaments, don't be afraid to get some backend coverage to a lethal lineup like this.

Main Stack - Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Ben Zobrist, Kyle Schwarber
Sneaky Stack - Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber, Javier Baez
