*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.
- Great slate with a ton of options for both pitching and bats. For pitching, you have two elite studs in Bieber and Cole, both in somewhat unfavorable matchups as Cole gets the Braves with Acuna back, and Bieber gets one of the best teams in baseball in the Twins. However, both present great K% upside for elite SO pitchers. Giolito has a nice matchup vs the Pirates and Paddack has an elite matchup vs the Mariners, however he’s been quite unsuccessful so far to start the season. I like Bieber over Cole, and Paddack for GPPs.
- In terms of bats, I like the White Sox, Rockies, Padres, Yankees, A’s, Rangers and Cardinals. I am locking in red hot Jose Abreu today, I’m so ready for an 0-4 performance… jokes.
- I really like the ownership I am seeing on the Padres and although Gonzales is not a trash can, he struggles with the long ball and the Slam Diego Padres have been destroying the baseball over the past week.
- That’s my mini-breakdown for the day! I hope you guys enjoy, let me know if you have any questions. Good luck!
