⏪ Game Week Rewind
Shoutout to Miguel for taking down first place in Limited NL by 33 points!
Miguel was at the Diamondbacks game on Friday where Eugenio Suarez hit a three-run homer to boost his squad into first place.
He then held on to first for the rest of the weekend and won this competition handily.
That’s got to be the ultimate Sorare MLB experience.

☔️ Rain Check
The weather this week doesn’t look nearly as bad as the last two weeks. If I had to guess I would say that there won’t be any PPD’s in this Game Week.
Baltimore - Rain on Wednesday and Thursday, games should play
Philadelphia - Rain on Wednesday and Thursday, games should play
Detroit - 93% chance of thunderstorms Wednesday
New York - Rain on Wednesday and Thursday, 71% chance Thursday
⚾️ Pitching Primer
Aaron Nola vs COL - Colorado was able to beat up Kevin Gausman, but Gausman’s issues velocity has been down and something seems to be off this year. Nola got rocked by Atlanta in his first start but has been solid over his last two.
Hunter Greene at SEA - Seattle’s offense has been cold and also striking out at the second-highest clip in the league (28.9%). Greene has a 30.1% strikeout rate.
Tyler Glasnow vs WSH - It’s going to be hard to repeat last week’s performance but Washington is about as soft as they come. They don’t strike out nearly as much as Minnesota (22.2%) but so far it’s been much more than last season.
Yoshi Yamamoto vs WSH - The same goes for Yoshi. One of these Dodger pitchers should have a big game.
Other Starters Include:
Tarik Skubal vs TEX
Pablo Lopez at BAL
George Kirby vs CIN
Logan Gilbert vs CIN

Closers who draw four games in GW6:
Kevin Ginkel
Kenley Jansen
Adbert Alzolay - Made appearances on Saturday and Sunday though
Emmanuel Clase
Jason Foley
Carlos Estevez
Tanner Scott
Camilo Doval
Pete Fairbanks
You can’t go wrong with any of these guys, but my favorites are probably Camilo Doval, Kenley Jansen, and Pete Fairbanks.
💰 Stacks
Diamondbacks
The matchup on Thursday versus Logan Webb (not listed here) is brutal but Arizona should have some success at home against these Cubs pitchers.
Rangers
Wednesday’s matchup against Skubal is awful, but the rest of Detroit’s pitching staff is suspect. Texas also has the most powerful lineup of the four teams listed here so even with the Skubal matchup they are in a great spot.
Giants
Miami pitching has been so bad. There is a reason this team only has a better record than the White Sox. The park in Miami is not great for offense but you could find some sneaky value on some of these Giants bats like Matt Chapman or Jorge Soler (Revenge Game).
Tigers
Detroit might be my favorite stack, which is surprising because they are Detroit and are facing the most recent World Series Champions. But none of these Texas pitchers are ranked highly and the Tigers offense can provide some solid production at the top of their order in Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene.
