*If you don’t already play 3 lineups and 3 max entry contests daily, try using the teams provided in the stacks above to maximize upside and correlation in your MLB lineups.
- Pretty small slate with a ton of average arms on the mound. I don’t particularly love the slate but it is slates like these that if you find that low owned team that pops off there probably won’t be another team to offset that stack. For pitching I like Bauer. The Brewers have an awful K% vs righties and Bauer has been tearing it up so far. He’s probably going to be in all my lineups for cash games, for GPPS I don’t mind Kelly or Lynn. Kelly has a great matchup vs the Road Rockies who continue to struggle.
- In terms of bats, I really don’t love attacking these average pitchers because they can always throw a solid game with par numbers but I’ll be focusing my lineups on Astros, Reds and the D-Backs primarily. I’ll make sure to fit in Suarez, Castellanos, and Davidson if he starts for the Reds stack, Tucker/Springer/Correa for the Astros stack, and both Marte’s + Peralta for my DBacks stack.
- That’s my mini-breakdown for the day! I hope you guys enjoy, let me know if you have any questions. Good luck!
