Welcome to the Sorare MLB GW10 Breakdown.
For those new here, I provide an all-in-one place to prepare Sorare MLB managers for the upcoming Game Week every Monday and Friday.
Feel free to message me on X at @Hunter_Himself if you have any questions or want to see something added to the newsletter!
Let’s dive in!
⏪ Game Week Rewind
Techguy190 won Limited All Star with a six-man Yankees stack.
New York put up 6, 15, and 15 runs in their series against Milwaukee.
I’ve said this many times before, but stacking players, especially in the Limited tier, gives your team much more upside.
📋 Roster Movements
In:
Vaughn Grissom - Will make season debut Tuesday vs. Giants
Kyle Bradish - His next start will be with the Orioles
Out:
Masataka Yoshida - Day to day after jamming his left hand
Nolan Jones - Day to day with back stiffness
Joey Gallo - Places on 10-day IL with left shoulder AC strain
Avisail Garcia - Placed on 10-day IL with left hamstring strain

☔️ Rain Check
Detroit - 67% chance of PM rain Monday
⚾️ Pitching Primer
Joe Ryan at CWS - The White Sox just swept the Rays and doubled their win total but this team is still inept on offense. Ryan faced Chicago in his last outing and struck out eight over 6 innings pitched.
Reynaldo Lopez at SEA - Lopez has quietly been one of the best pitchers in the league and now gets the strikeout-happy Mariners in a great pitchers’ park. His advanced stats show he’s been getting a bit lucky but he still has a solid 26.1% K% and a 3.69 xFIP.
Freddy Peralta vs. TBR - Peralta leads all qualified pitchers in strikeout rate (33.3%). The matchup with Tampa scares me a little but the bottom of this order can whiff at a high rate.
Aaron Nola at LAA - Nola has been incredible this year (Like he always is) and now gets another great matchup vs. the Angels. Los Angeles strikes out at the sixth-highest rate in the league (24.8%).
📞 Call To The Bullpen
The best strategy in GW10 is to roster closers from those who are playing four games this week.
Yennier Cano - BAL (Should be filling in for Kimbrel, but they also have Danny Coulombe lurking)
Hector Neris - CHC (Alzolay was demoted a week ago)
Tanner Scott - MIA
Edwin Diaz - NYM
Clay Holmes -NYY
Kyle Finnegan - WSH
💰 Stacks
Cubs/Mets
This four-game series should tally some runs with no one outside of Imanaga that scares me that much. The ballpark isn’t great for offense but both teams have players who can hit for power. I would stay away from the bottom half of the Mets lineup but I don’t hate a full Cubs stack.
Marlins
Miami has the all-around best pitching matchup. They will face four starters ranked 226 or higher on FantasyPros. The problem is this is a weak offense that we can’t trust but I see some merit to a three or four-man Marlins stack from the top of their order. They also draw four righties so Jazz Chisholm looks like a smash play.
There you have it, the Sorare MLB Slate Breakdown for Game Week 10.
All statistics referenced in this newsletter were pulled from Fangraphs.
All price references were pulled from the Limited tier.
I release these every Monday and Friday before lineup lock to help you all with preparing for the slate and setting your teams.
I hope to see everyone at the top of the leaderboards!
