Both of these teams here we're heavily mentioned in the main picks article, so go make sure to check that out!We start off with the Astros, who host the Los Angeles Angels at Minute Maid Park. The Angels are lucky enough to have Ricky Nolasco on the mound today, not. Nolasco is horrible and will be eaten up and spit out by the 5th inning. Nolasco has been horrible against everyone, holding a .347 wOBA against lefties and a .388 against righties. The peripherals look normal and I see no reason to expect any positive regression. Vegas agrees, slotting the Astros as the 2nd highest scoring team with 5.33 runs. This entire lineup is dangerous, so it's pretty tough to pick 4 in a tournament. Jose Altuve is undeniable and a key piece of every stack. After him, you can really go anywhere from 1-9. Obviously, guys like George Springer and Carlos Correa have a lot more appeal than an Alex Bergman or Nori Aoki. I'm just saying this is one of those lineups that can produce from any spot, so don't feel restricted to the top 4 in a stack. Nolasco should be out early and could easily be replaced by some of the worst long relievers in baseball (Brooks Pounders, Keynan Middleton).
Main Stack - Jose Altuve, Josh Reddick, Carlos Correa, George Springer
Sneaky Stack - Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, Brian McCann, Yulieski Gurriel
The Indians currently hold an implied total of 6.10, which is simply crazy for a game outside of Coors Field. Generally, you only see teams with 6 run totals in Coors Field or Wrigley when the wind is blowing out. In Progressive Field, Vegas has to LOVE a team to go this high. It looks like they do. The Indians are facing off with David Holmberg, who is bad bad bad. You can ignore this year's numbers, as he's holding a .121 BABIP (LOL) and most of his innings have been out of the bullpen. He's been in the majors since 2013, being sent down as soon as the guys saw him pitch live. Holmberg is very bad and I just want to make sure I highlight that. He's bad against everyone, but especially righties, allowing a .386 wOBA over the last couple seasons. Santana, Encarnacion, and Lindor are my 3 favorite plays, but it'll be tough with only one 1B per team. Brantly and Kipnis can both hit lefties and should end up being way too low owned. If you have some guys, Austin Jackson and Yan Gomes are in play. When a team is projected to score over 6 runs by Vegas in an average ballpark, you take full notice.
Main Stack - Francisco Lindor, Carlos Santana, Jason Kipnis, Michael Brantley
Sneaky Stack - Francisco Lindor, Edwin Encarnacion, Jose Ramirez, Austin Jackson
