**There is another game at Coors Field tonight and both the Rockies and Giants are in play. I will be giving you two other stacking options outside of that game. Let's take a look.*

 

Cleveland Indians vs. Nik Turley (MIN)

After the chalky Coors game, I love turning to the Indians tonight as they travel to Minnesota tonight. Cleveland opens as a -146 favorite which may have something to do with their ace Carlos Carrasco on the mound but Vegas also loves the offense as they have the third highest implied run total on the entire slate. They will be facing Nik Turley making his second career start after spending the last nine years in the Yankees, Giants, Red Sox, and now Twins farm system after being drafted in the 50th round. That says a lot about a pitcher's talent level right there. He has shown K upside this season between AA and AAA but should have some issues with the Indians tonight as they strike out less than almost all other teams(17.5%) vs. left-handed pitching. While he struck out four Giants in four innings in his debut, he struggled some allowing eight hits and four earned runs before exiting. The Indians, while sitting mid-pack in hitting vs. southpaws overall have some hitters in their lineup that should be able to feast tonight. It starts with Edwin Encarnacion who sits with a .396 wOBA and 148 wRC+ vs. lefties after showing reverse splits the last few years with the Jays. You will want to combine him with Francisco Lindor to create your core stack tonight. Like I mentioned in the main article, Lindor has struggled with the average in 2017 but has seen a huge tick up in the power profile and comes with lots of upside vs. lefties with a .371 woBA and 131 wRC+. For value, Daniel Robertson is the man if he is back in the lineup tonight. He leads everyone on the team in hitting vs. southpaws with a .396 wOBA and 148 wRC+ and usually occupies one of the top two spots in the order when playing. Stay tuned for lineups.

 

 

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Miguel Diaz (SD)

Even without Ryan Braun out of the lineup for over half their games, the Brewers sit sixth in the Majors in total runs(334) and home runs(94) and make an very high upside stack tonight. They get an elite matchup vs. Miguel Diaz making another spot start for the Padres tonight, this time away from Petco and vs. a better offensive team. Before his debut against the Royals, he made 21 appearances out of the bullpen and was struggling, to say the least. In 26 innings he as given up 25 hits, five for home runs, and sits with a less than inspiring 19:16 strikeout to walk ratio. He has an above average fastball(96 mph) but zero control as he has demonstrated. That could haunt him tonight in one of the best hitters parks in the big leagues. For the Brewers, I will be targeting the top four projected batters in Eric Sogard, Eric Thames, Domingo Santana, and Travis Shaw. The other positive the Brewers got goign for them tonight is that if Diaz onyll goes a few innings, the Padres have one of the worst bullpens in the league witha 4.90 ERA and 15% HR/FB rate. With Coors on the slate and a ton of high Vegas totals, you may even get the Brew Crew at a lower than normal ownership percentage.
