Arizona

After an offensive battle last night, Arizona checks in with the highest projected run total of the slate once again tonight. The D-Backs have scored 13 runs in back to back games now, and face Dillon Peters tonight, another left handed pitcher, but has only four starts under his belt as a September call up. Peters started strong with quality starts in two of his first three, but was rocked for eight runs over 3.2 innings to the Brewers in his last start. Diamondbacks hitters have an OPS of .839 at home this season (Rank: 2nd of 30 in MLB). While Peters has allowed just one long ball over his first 21.2 innings, Arizona has hit eight home runs over their last two games. With pitching wide open after Strasburg tonight, paying up the the Arizona bats is possible tonight. As seen over the week, there are plenty of cheap hitting options from the expanded rosters that can support your Arizona stack. Plus, on FD, Iannetta remains a bargain. 

Top Options:  J.D. Martinez, Paul Goldschmidt, A.J. Pollock, Chris Iannetta.

Bonus Stack: Dodgers

While Washington won’t roll with  their “B” team again tonight, the Dodgers amy take that roll tonight. They clinched the division last night, and should provide a rest day for their starters. Yes, they face Bumgarner, but they could work for a cheap value option or two in order to stack the D-Backs.

Atlanta

The Braves face Henderson Alvarez from the Phillies tonight, who made his first start and appearance in over two years. He allowed two homers, and four earned runs over five innings vs Oakland. The long balls aren’t always there for the Braves, but they do have a .364 OBP with RISP, second best in baseball. The Braves also provide cheap price tags tonight. Freddie Freeman is the only Brave player over the $4K mark on DK, which will really help you if looking to pay up for pitching, as well as some other large bats. As a bonus, I’m not against the low ownership idea of full stacking this game, as the Phillies don’t have high price tags either facing Julio Teheran, who is 1-2, with a 7.71 ERA over three starts vs them this season.

Top Options:  Freddie Freeman, Ozzie Albies, Tyler Flowers or Kurt Suzuki, Nick Markakis
