*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: Jacob DeGrom highlights the slate with his 30.3% K-BB ratio, 2.85 SIERA and a somewhat suspect hamstring. The playoffs are right around the corner and the Mets need every win, so I can see them not limiting DeGrom unless he personally can’t go anymore. There is little concern on my end just cause he is the only “Ace” on the slate and has unmatched upside, making him perfect for all formats. If you are looking for a different route, this is a great spot for Adam Wainwright. He has had some great performances this year and looks sharp. He offers some safety and floor if you think DeGrom might be too risky.
GPP: Lance McCullers definitely catches my eye here. He’s had a rather on and off season but he’s had great starts vs Seattle this year. His numbers on the road do concern me a tad bit which is why I have him listed under GPP. On the road he’s given up 19 runs compared to 5 runs at home.
Top Stacks: Atlanta Braves, Miami Marlins, New York Mets, STL Cardinals, Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates. The Braves are my top stack and I want atleast 3 in my lineups tonight.
