Houston Astros

If you've had a chance to sit down and watch Chris Flexen pitch, you're almost guaranteed to stack these Astros. It's just so clear that he's a few years behind and simply not ready to pitch at this level. He's getting pushed around from both sides of the plate and hasn't been able to find a pitch to lean on. This could easily ruin his career as coming up 2 years before you're ready and constantly getting pummeled is no way to progress. Either way, he has to face the Astros tonight. I'm sure he's sitting in a room right now scared out of his mind, as he should be. Flexen has posted a .416 combined wOBA and is allowing hard contact like a 60 MPH pitching machine does.  The 'Stros have been the 3rd best team in the league against righties and the absolute best at home. Jose Altuve and George Springer are musts and you can't have an Astros stack without either. After that, you can go anywhere. This lineup is very spread out and anyone from 1-8 has a shot of putting it in the stands. Whether you want to stack or not, I'd get some exposure to this Astros team that's implied to put up almost 6 runs.

Main Stack - Jose Altuve, George Springer, Josh Reddick, Marwin Gonzalez
Sneaky Sstack - Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, Carlos Beltran, Yuli Guriel

Los Angeles Angels

When looking at the Angels, we have to look at them in a new light. Justin Upton and Brandon Phillips aren't world-beaters at this point, but they certainly make a difference over some of the dead bats that have been manning those positions. I'm looking at you, Cliff Pennington. Shan Robinson. Go home. Both Phillips and Upton will be most useful against lefties, whom they will see tonight. you also have Mike Trout, who's pretty good at hitting. He isn't at the Cliff Pennington level, but the strikeouts will come down one day. On a serious note, I wouldn't stack the Angels without Trout or Upton. You then get into Pujols, Cron, Phillips, and Simmons, who are all worthy of consideration. The bottom of the lineup is horrible and I'm not a big fan of snake stack in this lineup. If you're looking to wrap around a stack, you want to go for teams like the Cubs and Dodgers, who have the power in the 7 and 8 hole. The Angels offense isn't very concentrated and you can typically put a finger on where the production will come from. Play Mike Trout tonight. He is my number 1 priority next to Kris Bryant. Pitcher is next.

Main Stack - Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, Andrelton Simmons, Justin Upton
Sneaky Stack - Mike Trout, Justin Upton, Brandon Phillips, C.J. Cron
