PITCHING
Yu Darvish … I love Darvish tonight. Β The time has come for the Dodgers to get a win and stop the bleeding and since the Rockies haven’t seen Darvish before I give him the edge with his slider being very unique.
Max Scherzer … Max will dominate the Phillies tonight. Β We get one more vintage Max performance today and the question becomes if you find enough value bats to pair with him.
Jimmy Nelson … 60 degree temps, wind blowing in heavy and a cold/banged up Cubs team. Β Nelson has pitched well vs them and in Wrigley.
Marcus Stroman … Stroman at home against a dead walking Tigers team is like … it’s like … Β It’s like ordering the fish taco’s at your favorite mexican restaurant. Β It wont disappoint, but you won’t be all super psyched to get some fucking fish taco’s.
SP2
Lucas Giolito … Wooo, are we seeing the pitching version of Mike Trout here? Β Guy who came up and struggled and then when he came up the second time became an absolute stud? Β Did someone spike my morning coffee? Β Did I seriously just write that? Β Anyways, the Giants offense isn’t scary and Chicago should hit Matt Moore – HARD giving Gio enough run support if he exits early to hold onto the win.
Trevor Williams … I wish he was at home, and I usually stack this series but the Cards return home after a west coast trip and I’m gonna ride T-Williams for another good start. Β Luke Weaver also in play if you play the under in this game, he’s got great K% numbers so far.
FAVORITE STACKS
Arizona … If you didn’t see me listing them first coming a mile away, then you haven’t solved my code yet! Β Sadly, the roof is closed. Β It’s still 100+ degrees in Arizona? Β Who knew.
Seattle / LA Angels … This game is going to be a sneaky good one today. Β Both pitchers are in that C+ range of pitchers who are good enough to navigate through 4 to 5 IP but will give up 3-4 ER off a couple bombs in an instant.
Washington … I used Jake Thompson on his breakout game and now I will use him on his regression game. Β And by use, I mean stacking all the Nationals. Β PLEASE Nationals, put a normal lineup out tonight. Β PLEASE…
Favorite One Off Combo’s
Freddie Freeman/Christian Yelich …. Someone wake up Freeman and tell him that Jose Urena is pitching….. Β Yelich is 7 for 17 against Folty and playing in Atlanta where lefties rake.
