*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.
Pitching: I think you have to lock in Shane Bieber today for cash games. I would even have him in GPPS today as well. His upside is simply unmatched and this Detroit Tigers team has given up some double digit K performances to a variety of pitchers this year. He is one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball right now.
GPP: This is a great spot for F. Valdez as well. The Texas Rangers have been one of the leagues’ worst vs lefties and Valdez has cemented himself to be one of the Aces for the Astros. In a previous start this year, Valdez went 7 innings, allowed 3 runs on 5 hits and 3 walks while striking out 8. I can see a similar performance here.
Top Stacks: Los Angeles Dodgers/Colorado Rockies game stack, Houston Astros, Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees, and Philadelphia Phillies.
