Top Stack

Boston Red Sox vs Alex Cobb

The Red Sox have faced Cobb twice this season. The first time they hammered him for seven runs over 3.2 innings.  The second time he managed to throw a quality start, allowing three runs over 6.1 innings but he did allow 10 hits in that game. The Red Sox offense continues to roll and they are tearing up this Baltimore pitching staff right now.  J.D. Martínez homered twice in Game 2 of yesterday’s doubleheader to increase his league lead in home runs with 37 and RBI with 104. The Red Sox will likely be the chalk stack of the day but they are expensive.

Top Options: J.D. Martínez , Mookie Betts , Xander Bogaerts

Secondary Options: Mitch Moreland , Brock Holt , Eduardo Núñez , Jackie Bradley Jr.

 

New York Yankees vs Martín Pérez

Perez has been decent for the Rangers since coming off the disabled list, allowing just five runs over those three starts. It’s unlikely that string of success to continues through today however as he faces a Yankee’s team that has the league top OPS against left-handed pitching this season and will be in hitting in the friendly confines of Yankee Stadium.  Giancarlo Stanton is crushing it right now, hitting .308 with five home runs and 11 RBI over his last 10 games. Stanton has also homered off Perez in the two at bats he has had against him.

Top Options: Giancarlo Stanton , Aaron Hicks , Miguel Andujar , Gleyber Torres

Secondary Option: Didi Gregorius , Austin Romine

 

Low Owned Stack

St. Louis Cardinals vs Jakob Junis

The Cardinals offense should be in for a good day today as they face Royals starter Jakob Junis who has allowed 26 home runs this season which is good for the second most in baseball. Junis is allowing an .814 OPS to hitters this season and lefties have a slight bump with an OPS of .834. With Matt Carpenter being maybe the hottest hitter in baseball and the rest of the Cardinals lineup coming around they should be one of the better stacking options today.

Top Options: Matt Carpenter , Yadier Molina , Jose Martinez , Marcell Ozuna

Secondary Options: Harrison Bader , Jedd Gyorko
