I believe that both the Nationals and Giants are top stack options, and will be popular options. I do believe people will jump on Seattle as well, but late night games seem to always have lower ownership levels. Both the Giants and Nationals work as teams to pair with the stack options below. Good luck!
Seattle
Seattle managed four runs vs Nolasco in under four innings last night, but didn’t do anything the rest of the night in their 4-3 win. The face what looks to be a more homer prone pitcher than Nolasco tonight in Andrew Heaney. He’ll be making his fifth start of the season after coming off the DL, and has not looked great over his first four. Heaney has allowed 11 home runs already, including at least three in three of his four starts. The Mariners have hit at least one home run in each of their last 8 games, and have seven players that check in with double digit home runs for the season.
Also, Andrew Heaney has allowed a slugging percentage of .815 (53 Total Bases / 65 ABs) vs right-handed batters since the All-Star Break (Rank: 169th of 169 qualified SPs in MLB), while Mariners hitters have an OBP of .340 when leading off an inning this season (Rank: 2nd of 30 in MLB).
Top Options: Nelson Cruz, Mitch Haniger, Danny Valencia, Mike Zunino, Jean Segura
Arizona
While the Padres ending the B-Backs winning streak, Arizona is still on a five series winning streak, and a chance to keep that alive tonight vs Jhoulys Chacin. Chacin has a 1.91 ERA at Petco this season, but a 6.96 ERA on the road. I don’t think Arizona will be highly owned tonight, but on a shorter Saturday night slate, they check in with the current highest projected run total of the slate. Arizona has been great at home this season, as Diamondbacks hitters have an OPS of .840 at home (Rank: 2nd of 30 in MLB), as well as have 103 HRs on 532 Fly Balls at home this season (Rank: 3rd of 30 in MLB)
Top Options: AJ Pollock, J.D. Martinez, Ketel Marte, Jake Lamb
