Hitting and Stacks for 6/22: Be Bold with Blue Jays!

167

First Base:

Roberto Guzman, Rangers vs. White Sox: At only $2,800 on FD in the most extreme hitting environment (great for hitters), I like taking the savings here and spending up elsewhere. Globe Life Park is currently missing their “wind shields” put into place in 2015 to help curtail the number of home runs (see this article here). With these features damaged by a thunderstorm and removed, this park becomes very good for hitters (especially ones on the strong side of the platoon split) who are strong and hit the ball in the air.

Second Base:

Rougned Odor: Rangers vs. White Sox: Again, a bargain at $2,800 on FD, I love this play for the same reasons listed for Guzman above. Odor seems to be regaining his power stroke, with two home runs in his last four games.

Third Base:

Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Blue Jays at Red Sox: My theme today is take the savings with bats and spend up for pitching (either Berrios or Ryu). Though Fenway will not be as good of a place for hitters as Globe Life, playing in the late afternoon will mean temperatures will be near 80 in Boston so the ball should carry well. At $2,800 on FD, there are few players at any price that are matching Guerrero Jr.’s exit velocity over the past several weeks. Getting a matchup against a below-average lefty in Brian Johnson should help Vlad, and the fact the Red Sox and Jays went extra innings means that Johnson could be asked to go deeper into the game than normal (the Red Sox used five bullpen arms last night after Chris Sale only went five innings).

Shortstop:

Freddy Galvis, Blue Jays at Red Sox: Same theme as above. Take the savings ($2,700 FD) and spend up elsewhere. Galvis is a streaky hitter, and with multiple hits in six of his last eight games, we can see he is on the positive side of a streak right now.

Outfield:

Nomar Mazara, White Sox at Rangers: This man hit a ball 505 feet last night. Yup, 505 feet. I guess he is over the injury that kept him sidelined recently. Oh, and he is only $3,000 on FD? Yes please.

Stacks

Texas: Odrisamer Despaigne is not a good MLB pitcher, as mentioned above. With the heat, and the lack of the wind screens at Globe Life, offenses should thrive and you have to like the Rangers chances.

Blue Jays: Here is a different one! Most of the time people use starting pitchers against the Blue Jays, but to use the Blue Jays as a stack? Listen to me here: Brian Johnson is not a good pitcher and he is a lefty. Chris Sale made the bullpen pitch five innings last night, thus Johnson may be asked to go deeper in the game than he normally would. You have to like so powerful righty bats, like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. ($2,800 FD), Teoscar Hernandez ($2,700) and Lourdes Gurriel Jr ($3,000 FD) in this game.
