Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers are up against Trevor Williams of the Pirates today, who has been struggling as of late, and a pitcher we want to attack. Williams has given up four or more earned runs in four of his last five starts and has allowed two walks in three straight starts. Things just aren’t going his way right now, which should put this Brewers team in a good spot. Williams is giving up a .335 wOBA, 1.10 HR/9 and a 37% fly ball rate to left-handed hitters this season. He is slightly better vs right-handed hitters, but it's nothing to be afraid of. The Brewers showed plenty of power yesterday with three home runs, so hopefully, we see a repeat of that performance. The left-handed power hitters is who you want to target today, aiming for maximum power upside. Eric Thames .280 ISO. Travis Shaw .279 ISO. Christian Yelich .207 ISO. But, there are some righties with decent ISO’s as well. Jesus Aguilar .216 ISO. Domingo Santana .213 ISO. Ryan Braun .182 ISO. This is a bit of a negative park shift for them being away from home and now in Pittsburgh, but with how bad Williams has been as of late, the Brewers are a good team to stack tonight.
Texas Rangers
We have the Rangers coming in with one of the best matchups on the entire slate. They are facing off against Ian Kennedy , who is a bad pitcher. There is really no other way to put it, Kennedy is just bad. Here are his stat lines against lefties and righties. VS LHB: .357 wOBA, 1.35 HR/9, 45% fly ball rate, 40% hard contact rate. VS RHB: .357 wOBA, 1.56 HR/9, 39% fly ball rate, 37.5% hard contact rate. As you can see, he is getting hit by literally anyone who faces him. This means you are able to stack up 1-9 hitters on the Rangers tonight. You can go expensive, you can go cheap, it really doesn’t matter vs Kennedy. There is some serious power lurking in the Rangers lineup, so let’s take a look. Joey Gallo .329 ISO. Nomar Mazara .198 ISO. Adrián Béltre .196 ISO. Ronald Guzman .189 ISO. Shin-Soo Choo .188 ISO. Jurickson Profar .184 ISO.
New York Mets
The Mets certainly don’t have the best offense in the league, but they get a nice boost today since they will be playing at Coors Field. They come in with an implied run total sitting at 4.84, which is third highest on the slate. Pitching for the Rockies will be Tyler Anderson , who has some pretty rough numbers, mainly since he pitches at Coors Field for half of his games. He is giving up a .407 wOBA to lefties a .314 wOBA to righties, along with 2.13 HR/9 to lefties and 1.31 HR/9 to righties. The Mets batters aren’t priced up that much on FanDuel, so look for them over there. The most expensive player on FanDuel for the Mets is Brandon Nimmo at only $3.8K. You can get a full stack of Mets hitters into your lineup and still have some room for another stack. The options for the Mets are straightforward tonight, Todd Frazier , Asdrubal Cabrera , Wilmer Flores , and even Devin Mesoraco.
