LAD (vs. MIA)
The Dodgers are popping up a lot today, mostly because of their price. They look to be a bit underpriced on both sites, which will make them a popular filler option with one of the pitching studs. I love the first four guys against the lefty Caleb Smith. I’d start my Dodgers stacks with Chris Taylor, Kike Hernandez, Justin Turner and Matt Kemp. Yasiel Puig is slotted in the 8-hole, but I think there’s value at his price point. I’m not wild about Grandal tonight, but if you need a catcher, you can use him in the stack.
BOX (@ OAK)
This one is more for the DraftKings crowd, where it’s easier to fit in the bigger bats. Trevor Cahill is a solid starter, but it’s hard to ignore the Red Sox implied total, which is the highest of the slate. Andrew Benintendi is my favorite from Boston, but I’ll have big amounts of Jackie Bradley, Rafael Devers and Hanley Ramirez. After that, I’ll happily fill in with Mookie Betts, JD Martinez and/or Xander Bogaerts if the salary works.
