The following Spotlight Stacks were selected by Awesemo.com’s Director of Content Josh Engleman. Please check back later for notes/additional picks from Awesemo himself.
OAK (@ TEX)
The pitching in this game is pretty soft, which means…stacks! The A’s have the second highest implied total (only behind the Rangers), so there’s a ton to like. It all starts with Spotlight Hitter Matt Joyce. He’s just too cheap. Jed Lowrie and Matt Olson both have the benefit of the left/right match-up. After those three, you can use Marcus Semien, Khris Davis and/or Matt Chapman depending on which site you play on and the rest of your needs.
TEX (@ OAK)
Switching dugouts, we have the team with the highest implied total of the main slate. The Rangers have three big lefty bats to roll out versus Kendall Graveman: Shin-soo Choo, Nomar Mazara and Joey Gallo. Adrian Beltre is always an option, particularly as part of the stack. Finally, take a close look at Delino DeShields, especially on FanDuel where his price is super low for this game script.
MIL (@ KC)
There aren’t a ton of obvious stacks tonight, so I’m sticking to the implied total and the pitching match-up. Christian Yelich, Travis Shaw and Eric Thames all have big power against righties. Jason Hammel has never handled left handed hitter all that well. Ryan Braun is always viable as part of a stack. Finish it off with Lorenzo Cain and you’ll have a powerful 5-man stack on DraftKings.
Awesemo’s Notes
I think Texas will be the chalk stack tonight with cheap prices and a high team total. I like Oakland and Milwaukee tonight as well. One additional stack I recommend tonight is the Dodgers on FanDuel. Bellinger, Grandal, and Seager are priced up but the rest of the team is bargain bin, so you can even fit Kershaw in your lineup for a bit of a correlation play.
