The following Spotlight Stacks & Hitters were selected by Awesemo.com’s Director of Content Josh Engleman.
Rockies (#1 DraftKings / #2 FanDuel)
- Charlie Blackmon
- Nolan Arenado
- Carlos Gonzalez
- Trevor Story
Even on the full 15-game slate, it’s going to be hard to ignore Coors. The Rockies have the highest implied total on what projects to be a low-scoring night. Christian Bergman and the Mariners are heading into a tough situation. The lefties for Colorado obviously look great, but you can really go wherever you want. The four listed above are as high-end as you can possibly get. Chris Herrmann is a cheap catcher option. Guillermo Heredia is crazy cheap for a Coors game if you want to get different. Ultimately, this play centers on Bergman and Coors, so the particulars in the lineup aren’t super important for me.
Royals (#2 DraftKings / #1 FanDuel)
- Whit Merrifield
- Mike Moustakas
- Lucas Duda
- Salvador Perez
The Royals, on the other hand, have most of my exposure to the guys I listed. The only exception is Jorge Bonifacio, who pops up quite a bit on both sites, but not enough to crack the top-4. For now, I don’t have a lot of interest in Rosell Herrera, Alex Gordon, Alcides Escobar or Raul Mondesi. The first five simply have a great combo of position, price and matchup. That’s really all I need.
