Guess what day it is?
If you guessed “another day of MLB action,” then you are absolutely correct!
It’s also hump day, but away we go!
We are tackling the 10-game evening slate of games using DraftKings pricing.
I think by now you have probably figured out that you can probably create some kind of Red Sox stack and make your cash and tournament lineups work. Me recommending Mookie Betts and the Red Sox right now is too much like a free square, so they will not show up on The Stack unless it’s a unique situation, a shorter slate, or if I like regular players not at the top of the order.
Mookie Betts is other worldly though and he has great BvP against Tampa starter Chris Archer. He’s a cash game lock for the foreseeable future.
Before we get into today’s stacks of the day, my favorite one offs on this slate are – Betts, Rajai Davis, Josh Donaldson and Justin Turner
GAME STACK – BALTIMORE ORIOLES @ CHICAGO WHITE SOX
Baltimore Orioles
1. Manny Machado
2. Trey Mancini
3. Pedro Alvarez
4. Mark Trumbo
5. Adam Jones
Chicago White Sox
1. Jose Abreu
2. Yoan Moncada
3. Daniel Palka
Justification – The more and more I looked at these two teams, the more and more I really like this game as a stack. People are going to be on the Yankees, Red Sox and Cubs with some stray ownership on the Pirates and Indians, I am guessing. Outside of Machado, I think the rest of these guys will go vastly underowned. You can play all of these guys together (swapping in and out with Trumbo, Mancini and Alvarez at different positions) and fit in David Price and Kenta Maeda, two of the top-priced pitchers on the slate. The White Sox trio here are the top-3 hitters on the White Sox against RH pitching. Both Covey and Cobb have been atrocious against left-handed pitching (well, overall really). Cobb has allowed more than a .500 wOBA to lefties and a .382 wOBA to RH pitching. In Covey’s career, he’s been a reverses-splits guy. Tonight he faces a reverse-splits team.
