I hope everyone had a winning weekend. Let’s continue the trend with a look at Monday, June 10th.
There are four bat stacks today and two possible pitcher plays. Odd day as no pitcher truly jumps off the board at me today.
AZ@PHI Clarke vs. Eickhoff.
I wouldnt mind some PHILLY bats here but I dont love this matchup. If you’re up big then by all means, play but if not, NO PLAY.
NYM@NYY Vargas vs. Tanaka
I will take NYY BAT stack here. While Vargas does have an ERA under 2 in his last seven starts, he is STILL Jason Vargas ! If you want to go all in on this game then maybe TANAKA is in play as well.
STL@MIA Wacha vs. Alcantara
I like STL BATS here, especially if you are up from the weekend. If you are being economical, then NO PLAY
TEX@BOS Minor vs. Sale
While enticing, this is a NO PLAY for me. Too any variables with the the guys pitching for both teams.
OAK@TB T. Anderson vs. Morton
The A’s are sending a guy to the mound making his first start, he also made some relief appearances in Pittsburgh and struggled at the AAA level . There may be a play here with TBB BATS. MORTON can quiet the opposition’s bats while the Rays work to get to Oakland’s stopgap.
PIT@ATL Musgrove vs. Gausman
Musgrove pitched well the last time he saw Atlanta, three runs over eight IP. While Kevin Gausman is, well, Kevin Gausman. NO PLAY
WSH@CWS Sanchez vs. TBD
I like WSH BATS here. Chalky play .
CHC@COL Darvish vs. Marquez
COL BATS are always a play at Coors.
LAD@LAA Ryu vs. Canning
Fun matchup here. While Ryu is pitching with his hair on fire, the LAA lineup can still be dangerous and I don’t bet against Mike Trout. NO PLAY
Ok, feel free to hit me up @Matt_Striker_ with your comments, etc.
Here’s to winning ! ( Raises glass )
