Hey guys, it's Coors Field, so do whatever you want. Stack the Rockies, stack the Cubs, do a double wraparound stack starting with the No. 7 hitters for both teams. Go crazy. Impossible is nothing. Dare to dream. ... So, we think the Cubs are probably the chalk play here, but since they were featured heavily with the cash game picks, we'll turn our attention to Colorado. There's a decent chance they'll go under-owned facing Jake Arrieta, but we think it'd be a mistake to bypass them based on the name value of the opposing pitcher. For one thing, the Rockies' numbers at home since last season are ridiculous (.373 wOBA, .217 ISO) and put them in play against virtually anybody. For another, Arrieta has scuffled a bit this season. The xFIP suggests his 4.63 ERA will be coming down a bit, but the fact that his groundball rate is down to 42% after sitting at 56% in 2015 and 53% last year is worrisome. And really, any bat is in play. Obviously the big-name bats that occupy the top and middle of the order are the most attractive as long as you've got the money to spend. Also, though the sample size is really small, Arrieta has struggled with lefties this season (.348 wOBA), so you might want to keep that in mind.
I'd expect the Yankees to be the go-to pivot off of Coors, and for good reason. They lead MLB in wRC+ and wOBA vs. RHP this season, and they're fourth in ISO. Meanwhile, the Reds are offering up the Great American Ballpark and Rookie Davis, which makes for a very enticing combo. Davis was serviceable in his last start, but other than that, his first taste of the bigs has been borderline disastrous. He's sitting on a 6.01 xFIP with 1.84 HRs/9 in his first four starts, and his minor league numbers were pretty average, so even when/if he gets it figured out, we're not looking at a front-line starter here. Meanwhile, the park is up there with Coors in terms of HR factors, and the Yankees have the bats to take advantage. They've been shuffling the lineup liberally all season, but there are few guys who get regular playing time we wouldn't consider. The projection system is highest on Matt Holliday, and also like the chances for a nice night from Brett Gardner, Aaron Judge and Aaron Hicks (if he gets the start).

Compared to other lineups we've talked about here, the Dodgers could come in under the radar. Dodger Stadium isn't the hitter's haven you'll find in Colorado or Cincinnati, but the Dodgers are dangerous vs. RHP. They're a top 10 offense in both wOBA and wRC+ in the split this season, and top five dating back to last year. Corey Seager, Justin Turner and Joc Pederson all have a wOBA over .375 in that span, Yasmani Grandal's ISO is .253, and rookie Cody Bellinger has been mashing since getting called up, so you've got options here, and they're all moderately priced. As for opposing pitcher Trevor Williams, there's not much of a track record. This will be just his second big-league start, and while working primarily out of the bullpen he's shown both home run and control issues in 23 MLB innings. Homers were never an issue for him in the minors, so maybe he'll get that under control, but he's still a pretty pedestrian prospect and we think he'll be overmatched tonight.
