Following two consecutive days of slates with nearly every team playing, we find ourselves with a slightly smaller 9 game slate tonight. Although 9 games is usually a pretty decent number to build around, there are only a couple of pitchers and stacks I am truly interested in targeting today. Let's dive in!
REMINDER: If you would like the lineup that I will be using, RT the article post on Twitter at @SportsVerseHQ, DM @cobioconnell, and follow both accounts.
Weather Concerns:
CLE @ KC - There projects to be some serious thunderstorms around the area of the ballpark tonight. A delay is very much possible, and although unlikely, postponement can't be ruled out either. Moderate risk in this spot.
DET @ MIN - The forecast shows light rain around the ballpark during the game, but not much of a risk for a delay or postponement.
Top Pitchers:
1. Ian Anderson vs. PHI ($8800)
2. Robbie Ray vs. NYY ($10800)
3. Joe Ryan vs. DET ($8800)
Riskier Plays - Lance McCullers Jr. vs. TB ($9700), Rich Hill vs. MIA ($7400)
Top Stacks:
1. Dodgers
2. Red Sox
3. Giants
4. Mets
Secondary Stacks /One-offs - Orioles, Twins, Indians
Top Hitters:
This player pool contains all of the top plays from hitters in ideal scenarios. It is purposely created large to provide limitless lineup possibilities for players who don't wish to trail my lineup.
