🔎 Multi Game Monitor
All teams play three games!
⚾️ Pitching Primer
Zack Wheeler vs PIT (SP3)
This is a great spot for Wheeler against Pittsburgh, who K% at the seventh-highest rate (23.3%), and are 29th in wRC+ (75). Wheeler is fourth in xFIP (2.59) and fifth in K/9 (11.48).
Paul Skenes at PHI (SP4)
Skenes hasn’t flashed a ceiling game in a few starts, but we know he’s got that in him on any given start. Philly has been slightly above league average this season, but Skenes is still one of the best plays on this slate.
Chris Sale at BOS (SP5)
We have a revenge game for Sale here against Boston, who strike out at the fourth-highest rate as a team (23.6%). There could be some blow-up risk in this spot, but Sale has also turned a corner over his last three starts, and a ceiling game is in the cards here.
Logan Webb vs ATH (SP6)
Webb is a solid play against the A’s, even though they surprisingly rank 8th in wRC+ (111), and they don’t strike out that much as a team. Webb is second in MLB in xFIP, though (2.32).
Other Starters Include:
Garrett Crochet vs ATL (SP7)
Cole Ragans vs STL (SP9)
Joe Ryan at MIL (SP15)
Pablo Lopez at MIL (SP16)
Michael King vs SEA (SP17)
Freddy Peralta vs MIN (SP23)
Corbin Burnes vs COL (SP27)
💰 Stacks
Diamondbacks
Arizona is in a smash spot here against three Rockies right-handers at home. Marte homered twice last night, and Corbin Carroll is second in homers this year with 14. Play the Snakes wherever you can this weekend.
Cubs
It looks like there will be some wind blowing out (at least tonight) at Wrigley Field. The Cubs have over a 7-run total tonight, which we only see when the wind is whipping. Pete Crow-Armstrong, Kyle Tucker, and Seiya Suzuki looks like a great stack in this Game Week.
Dodgers
Stack the Dodgers every week. They dropped 19 runs last night and 9 the night before. This is another easy spot against the Angels, but note that two of the starters are lefties. I’m still playing Ohtani and Freeman wherever I can, though.
Other Stacks Include:
Guardians, Rays, Padres, Tigers
