PITCHING
Corey Kluber … Top guy, hot team, bad opponent. Carrasco dominated last night and Kluber should be good for a solid outing tonight barring some crazy scenario where he gets hit with a line drive or trips on a dugout step in between innings. 8 innings and 10 K’s are definitely in play.
Jon Gray … I know Kershaw is pitching. Yes, I know. And I know he’s awesome, but he wont go the full length and Gray is much cheaper and facing a cold Dodgers team today. For his price Gray is a great tournament pivot off Kluber.
Aaron Nola … Nola vs Roark in DC? Seen this script before. Phillies win 5-2… Trea Turner has a big game though for the Nationals…
Carlos Rodon … Has great success in his last couple of starts against the Tribe (even dating back to last September), but he has the dangerous task of beating Kluber and ending a hot teams win streak. Good luck with the win here….
LONGSHOTS
Kyle Gibson … Asking for Gibson to produce two good starts in a row is quite the daunting task, but here I am doing it. Gibson has always pitched decent vs KC and above decent in Kauffman stadium. On a nice cool night like tonight he can shut them down again.
Tyler Mahle … This kid is for real
FAVORITE STACKS
Atlanta … Straily on the road is far worse and comes into the best hitters park on the slate.
Miami … Ozuna and Stanton could each hit 2 HR tonight against Newcomb and the Braves bullpen… Love this spot for them. Wish it was about 10 degrees warmer though.
Cincinnati … Oh hey, it’s Matt Harvey.
SNEAKY STACKS
Chicago Cubs … The Cubs will be really low owned tonight and have hit JT pretty hard in the past. Cubs are due for a 10 run game. Bryzzo/Schwarber/Baez/Heyward
Minnesota … Sam Gaviglio was not really good in Seattle and he won’t be much better pitching now for Kansas City. This could be a sneaky high scoring game as both teams are fighting for their playoff lives.
