Weather Concerns
No weather concerns today as weather looks very good in all 6 games.
Top Pitchers To Target
Sonny Gray- The Pirates have one of the worst lineups in baseball and have really struggled against right-handed pitching especially now that their best hitter is gone (Adam Frazier). Gray leads our model in projected strikeouts and also has the highest shark rating of all the pitchers He will be very high owned on a 6 game slate but we recommend locking him in and getting different elsewhere.
Touki Toussaint– His last start was terrible as he gave up seven earned runs and was pulled early in the game. We project for a much better performance tonight as he grades out well in our model on both sites. He is a great option on Draftkings as a SP2 as we have him projected for 5 strikeouts tonight over 6 innings.
Nestor Cortes- I like him more for GPPs as his leash is much shorter than Toussaint. On Fanduel he is priced at 5K and is in play more on Fanduel.
Other Pitchers To Consider
Framber Valdez( A pivot of Gray but something I only plan to do if making 20+ lineups)
Wade LeBlanc ( Risky! but metrics look great against ATL. If ATL ends up being chalky give me Leblanc in GPPs)
Top Stacks To Consider
New York Yankees– Always in play as they have a very high ceiling every slate. With Sanchez being out this does take away some of their power but they are still a great stack to pay up for. I have more interest in them on Fanduel as pricing is much softer. We have them projected for 5.34 runs which is third on the slate.
Cincinnati Reds- By far my favorite stack of the night as I expect fireworks from them tonight. We have them projected for the 2nd amount of home runs tonight as they are ranked right behind the yankees. They lead our model top stacks model though as they are cheap on both sites and are great for 4 or 5 man stacks.
Houston Astros- They may go over looked tonight but they have one of the highest ceilings on the slate. I love them for tournaments as a great leverage stack! They lead our model in projected runs scored!
Other Stacks To Consider
Cleveland Indians ( low owned stack great for GPPs)
Toronto Blue Jays ( mini stack for Power)
