Main Slate
Los Angeles Dodgers at LHP Ty Blach – 6.1 implied runs
Former Giant LHP Ty Blach has allowed a 10.95 ERA, 2.15 WHIP with six home runs over 24.2 innings this season. In other words, he is a perfect Orioles pitcher. While it is just 92 righties faced, the .241 ISO, 1.86 HR/9 and .412 wOBA tell the story.
Any right-handed batsmen in the Dodgers lineup is a legitimate play as their team total rivals those in Denver.
Coors Field Extravaganza – 13.0 implied runs
While I usually try to provide alternative options, sometimes Coors Field is just too good to pass over.
RHP Chi Chi Gonzalez has been an absolute disaster this season with a 7.29 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and only 23 strikeouts in 42.0 innings. Lefties have posted a .255 ISO / 2.0 HR/9 and righties have tallied a .200 ISO / 1.85 HR/9. Load up on any of the Redbirds with even a scintilla of power.
RHP Michael Wacha is getting penalized with a major ballpark shift so we should attack! This season he has allowed same-handed hitters to torch him with a .228 ISO / 2.22 HR/9 so Trevor Story and Nolan Arenado are prime options. Lefties have a .216 ISO / 1.67 HR/9 which means Charlie Blackmon, Daniel Murphy and Raimel Tapia are solid plays.
Late Slate
Cleveland Indians at LHP Jose Suarez – 5.1 implied runs
Over his last 43.1 innings, LHP Jose Suarez has allowed a dozen home runs. 34 earned runs and 75 baserunners. This is the perfect spot to utilize the many right-handed hitters that will be in the Cleveland lineup. In his last 230 lefty/righty matchups, Suarez has ceded a .423 wOBA and .277 ISO with a 9.1 BB%.
Since the beginning of last season, Francisco Lindor, Carlos Santana and Franmil Reyes have all topped the .220 ISO and Jordan Luplow has a .315 ISO. Feel free to work in Roberto Perez for differentiation and Oscar Mercado and Yasiel Puig for a full stack.
