Milwaukee Brewers
The Mariners will be starting Mike Leake on the bump in this one. Leake is allowing 1.96 HR/9 this season. With the Brewers having already hit 93 home runs against right-handed pitching this season, it is safe to say they have a really good chance of tacking a few more onto that total in this one. We can attack Leake from either side of the plate today. He is allowing a .342 wOBA to lefties and 2.42 HR/9 to righties.
So of course, we want to load up on some Brewers and our Milwaukee stack will start with Christian Yelich (FanDuel: $4,800 DraftKings: $5,800). Yelich has a .417 ISO versus right-handed pitching Some other Brewers’ bats worth considering are: Mike Moustakas (FanDuel: $3,800 DraftKings: $4,800), Yasmani Grandal (FanDuel: $3,500 DraftKings: $4,700). Both bats have ISOs above .200 versus righties in 2019. And do not forget about Ryan Braun (FanDuel: $3,000 DraftKings: $4,400). The outfielder has a 1.043 OPS over his last seven games. If you need to get a cheaper bat, Eric Thames (FanDuel: $2,500 DraftKings: $4,300) is your guy.
Houston Astros
After disappointing the Win Daily Family on Wednesday, we are going to go right back to the Astros’ stack today. The Pirates’ Joe Musgrove is a guy that Houston should be able to get to. The right-hander has a 4.61 SIERA and a 4.67 xFIP while striking out just 19% of the batters he has faced in 2019. Houston has had a lot of success against righties this season as the offense has a .334 wOBA and a 113 wRC+ against the handness.
Musgrove struggles particularly against left-handed bats. He is allowing a .346 wOBA and a 40.4% hard contact rate to lefties in 2019. With that in mind, we will want to start our Astros’ build with Yordan Alvarez (FanDuel: $4,100 DraftKings: $5,100). The Houston slugger has a .450 ISO and a .472 wOBA against righties this season.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Any time the Dodgers’ offense is opposed by a righty, they have to be considered for stacking purposes. Against right-handed pitching this season, Los Angeles has been very successful. As a team they have a .210 ISO and a .344 wOBA against right-handed pitching. And when they get to face a right-hander in the thin air of Colorado they are a no-brainer stacking option.
The Dodgers’ stack needs to be all about the left-handed bats to start. The Rockies’ Peter Lambert is allowing a .408 wOBA to lefties this season as well as a 2.35 HR/9. This is likely due to his 58.3% hard contact rate allowed to left-handed batters in 2019.
So your L.A. building blocks would include the likes of: Joc Pederson (FanDuel: $4,100 DraftKings: $5,400), Cody Bellinger (FanDuel: $5,000 DraftKings: $5,900) and Max Muncy (FanDuel: $4,300 DraftKings: $5,600). All three of these Dodgers’ left-handed batters have accumulated at least a .240 ISO versus right-handed pitching.
Los Angeles Angels
You are going to want to pick on Oakland’s Tanner Anderson on Thursday. Anderson is allowing a 46.8% hard contact rate this season as well as a low 7.7% swing strike rate. The Athletics’ starter is not missing many bats. And maybe the best thing about Anderson is that he is very predictable. He throws his sinker on 62% of his pitches.
With that in mind we want to build our Angels’ DFS stack starting with Mike Trout (FanDuel: $4,700 DraftKings: $5,800). The outfielder has a .341 batting average against the sinker this season. Shohei Ohtani (FanDuel: $3,600 DraftKings: $4,700) should also be a piece to your Angels’ puzzle. He has a .500 ISO against the sinker in 2019. And don’t forget about Tommy La Stella (FanDuel: $3,200 DraftKings: $4,400). The infielder has a .419 batting average against the sinker this season.
