Cleveland Indians
Outside of Coors Field tonight, the Indians should be one of the top stacking options, since they are in a great spot. They are facing off against James Shields , who is giving up 1.30 HR/9 to lefties this season and 1.22 HR/9 to righties. Shields has given up 12 earned runs in his last three games and with the Indians having an implied run total set at 5.39, we should be in for much of the same tonight. The Indians put up a donut last night, but you should be ready to go right back to the well tonight with them since they always have massive upside. There are plenty of hitters to be targeting, but they very expensive, so you will have to spend down on other players, or spend down at pitcher. José Ramírez .357 ISO. Edwin Encarnación .294 ISO.

Houston Astros
The Astros are at home and on a two-game slide against a Mariners team that is chasing them in the standings. They have a chance to pick up a game tonight vs Wade LeBlanc , who is a fly ball pitcher and home run prone this year. He has a 43% fly ball rate vs. lefties along with giving up 1.55 HR/9 to them. He is giving up a 41% fly ball rate and 1.28 HR/9 to righties this season as well. The Astros got Carlos Correa back last night, who is a bit too cheap across the industry, so you should be willing to buy in low on him before his price jumps back up to where we know it can/should be.

Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies have an implied run total sitting at 4.32, which is around average for today’s slate. They are facing off against Walker Lockett , who is making only his fourth appearance this season for the Padres, and has given up 11 earned runs in just 10.2 innings pitched. This isn’t a great hitter’s park by any means, but a lower owned stack in a West Coast game could always be enticing as a late night GPP option. The Phillies have plenty of power, a good matchup, but just not the best hitting environment. Rhys Hoskins .286 ISO. Asdrubal Cabrera .232 ISO. Maikel Franco .225 ISO. Nick Williams .220 ISO.
