With 2 pretty small slates on our hands, we can't be picky here. Fortunately, we have quite a few offenses with some solid implied run totals. The Cleveland Indians come into the fist game of the day expected to score close to 6 runs. They host the Oakland Athletics, who will be tossing Jharel Cotton. While Cotton isn't a horrid pitcher, he's not very good at all. He's allowed a .341 combined wOBA and has been a bit worse against righties. Remember, these numbers are with half of his innings in the spacious O.Co Coliseum. The Indians lineup is one that's a pretty safe stack. They rarely put up a bad performance and will generally keep you afloat. On a day like this, they could en up being highly owned, though it's very relative to only a few options at each position. Santana and Brantley are the 2 best bats against righties, with Lindor and Kipnis coming up next. Encarnacion has unlimited upside as well and makes for a fantastic pivot from Santana. Looking lower in the lineup, Bradley Zimmer andJose Ramirez are both in play. They are super cheap across the industry and will have a RBI opportunity or two.
Main Stack - Jason Kipnis, Francisco Lindor, Michael Brantley, Carlos Santana
Sneaky Stack - Francisco Lindor, Edwin Encarnacion, Jose Ramirez, Bradley Zimmer
On the late slate, there is no 1 offense that stands out. However, the Blue Jays are facing a righty with their replenished lineup. We know Josh Donaldson and his history vs southpaws, making him my top play in all formats, without price considered. You then move into the likes of Bautista, Tulo, and Morales. They all hit lefties well and have been gluing as an offense. Pillar and Russell Martin are in play as well, but make a bit more sense in cash games. The opposing pitcher, C.C. Sabathia, while not horrible, has been on a steady decline against righties. He's allowed a .323 wOBA so far while giving up 8 homers in less than 50 innings. With all of that being said, we know how variant this Blue Jays lineup can be. I feel like they have scored 0-2 runs in more good match-ups than I count. They've also put up bout 14 a couple times and single-handedly carry some folks to the top of tournaments. On a slate like this, you're guaranteed a cash if you can stack the top offense.
Main Stack - Josh Donaldson, Jose Bautista, Troy Tulowitzki, Kendrys Morales
Sneaky Stack - Josh Donaldson, Jose Bautista Kevin Pillar, Justin Smoak
