NEW YORK METS

This has got to be one of the most intriguing slates I've run across in a while. Numerous elite pitchers, plus Coors Field, plus a handful of other offenses in great spots. With so many options, it's easy to succumb to paralysis by analysis, digging deeper and deeper into stats, splits, pitch values and scouting reports. There's definitely value in all of the preceding, and we don't discount it. But there's also value in knowing that Dillon Gee sucks against lefties and just stacking up the team that's loaded with them. It doesn't always have to be so complex. Gee hasn't made a start for Texas this season, and he spent most of last year as the Royals' swing man, but the track record here is sufficient to give us what we need: in nearly 400 innings worth of work against lefties, Gee has surrendered a .344 wOBA and owns a 4.76 xFIP. And most of that was earned in the National League and in parks much more forgiving than Globe Life. Meanwhile, the Mets have three bats among their first five hitters who are destroying righties this season. Michael Conforto (.427 wOBA, .313 ISO), Jay Bruce (.387/.303) and Lucas Duda (.396/.298) can deliver all the upside you'd get out of Coors bats, but without the price hike.

DETROIT TIGERS

It seems like it goes under the radar, but Jesse Chavez is serving up homers at a James Shield/Jered Weaver-like rate against righties (2.1 HRs/9, .245 ISO) since the beginning of last season. In the past, he's done a decent job of limiting damage, but that skill appears to be deserting him, too, because his ERA and xFIP continue to rise for the fourth straight season. The Tigers haven't been as sharp against RHP as they were last season, but they're still above average in the split, and there are plenty of individual pieces to like -- especially with a meatballer on the mound and the wind blowing out. The middle-of-the-order righties (Miggy, J.D. Martinez, Justin Upton) are our favorites, but the price is right on Nic Castellanos, and John Hicks makes an interesting catcher punt on FanDuel if he gets the call.

CLEVELAND INDIANS

No, we're not fading Coors. But honestly, I'm not sure it's gonna be worth it to pay for these bats given the high-priced pitching and a variety of cheaper stacking options. But you can't completely ignore Coors, either. As usual, both sides are in play. We give the Indians the slight edge, based primarily on Antonio Senzatela's inability to strike guys out. He's been able to survive through his first 11 starts, and maybe he'll make it 12. But when you're allowing this many balls in play -- and not coaxing an extreme ground ball rate -- in baseball's best hitter's park, it's gonna burn you sooner or later. Meanwhile, the Indians have been a top 10 offense pretty much across the board against RHP this season, and that's with Edwin Encarnacion giving them very little for the first month or so. Now that he's rounding into form, there's an awful lot to like in this lineup -- even with E-5 or Carlos Santana taking a seat entering the NL park. All of the guys who typically land in the top six spots of the order are in play and have a wOBA north of .340 vs. RHP since the beginning of last season. And don't sleep on rookie Bradley Zimmer either. He was a top 50-ish prospect entering the season, boasting power and speed, and he's been hitting righties well (when he connects) in his first exposure to Major League pitching.
