Boston Red Sox vs. Carlos Rodon (CWS)

The Red Sox once again top the implied run projections outside of the Coors Field today. It makes sense as they have been rolling along nicely lately, winning three straight and five of their last seven games scoring 45 runs along the way. In fact, over the last seven days, they lead all teams in baseball with a team batting average of .329 with a .389 wOBA, and 140 wRC+. Versus left-handed pitching, they sit Top 10 in the league in wOBA and wRC+ despite a lack of power this season. Tonight they face Carlos Rodon who has elite K upside(11.61 K/9) but a huge issue with control as he is walking nearly six batters per nine innings. He is coming off a great start allowing the Indians just one earned run while striking out nine but I am not convinced at all that he can repeat that performance tonight. Take advantage.

Top Hitters to Stack: Mookie Betts, Eduardo Nunez, Hanley Ramirez, Rafael Devers

 

 

Texas Rangers vs. Bartolo Colon (MIN)

I got on the wrong side of this matchup last night and it appears that both sides make great stacking options tonight with Martin Perez(TEX) going up against Bartolo Colon(MIN). The Rangers will be chalk most likely and I wouldn't blame you if you jumped on the Twins for an ownership advantage tonight but I will be rolling with the Rangers. They have been producing a ton of power lately as they lead the league with 13 home runs over the last seven days to go with a .203 team ISO. They also rank just outside the Top 10 in hitting vs. righties and get a huge boost tonight vs. Colon who is past his expiry date and starting to really stink. New team, same old Colon. In three starts with the Twins, he sits with a 5.87 ERA, 5.46 xFIP and has given up three home runs in his last two starts. Load up on the Rangers tonight.

Top Hitters to Stack: Shin-Soo Choo, Elvis Andrus, Nomar Mazara, Roughned Odor, Adrian Beltre

Atlanta Braves vs. Adam Conley (MIA)

This stack is a bit off the board and is very boom or bust. The Braves sit closer to the bottom than the top when looking at the offense this season but most of the issues have come against righties where they rank right near the bottom in wOBA, wRC+ and ISO. It is a different story vs. southpaws, however, as they rank 8th in wOBA, 10th in wRC+ and ISO. The matchup is another reason this stack is a bit off the board as Adam Conley has been pretty good lately allowing just four earned runs over his last three starts but it hasn't helped the ERA that sits at 5.11 and the xFIP of 5.28 is even a tick worse. To be contrarian some days we have to take the risk of getting zero for the upside of multiple runs and low ownership which can help us take down a GPP.

Top Hitters to Stack: Ender Inciarte, Brandon Phillips, Freddie Freeman, Tyler Flowers
