Welcome to the third edition of MLB GPP Stacking & Ownership. In this article I will give you three tiers of stacks and corresponding expected ownership. Remember that winning a GPP isn't always about maximizing points but instead maximizing some form of points and ownership. As always, plays will be listed from favorite to least favorite of the stack.

*In this article, we will not discuss the Marlins nor the Rockies. They are both the most elite stacks and also will be the highest owned. It will be very difficult to win with a stack of each. Feel free to combine players with other stacks however.

High Owned

Houston @ Toronto – Game Total of 9.5

Besides the Rockies-Marlins game, this has the highest total of any game of the night. It is in the second best hitter's ballpark with an opposing pitcher that has struggled and had his fair share of implosions. While I am listing this as high owned, it will be much lower owned than the previously high owned we've discussed. I love the power bats in Rogers Centre tonight.

Mets @ Diamondbacks – Game Total of 9.5

Same game total as the Toronto Blue Jays, yet a significantly less public perception of power than the Blue Jays. The Mets take on below average right-hander Jeremy Hellickson in a hitter's park. The Mets hit the ball hard all game and didn't explode until very late. Tonight, I see the momentum continuing and the Diamondbacks going into the bullpen early.

Giants @ Phillies – Game Total of 8

Who is even thinking about the Giants playing against the Phillies tonight when we have a Coors game? The Giants make for an incredibly sneaky play tonight against Jerome Williams. If we didn't have a Coors game and the Blue Jays were playing against Willams, everyone would be stacking them. Williams isn't a good pitcher and targeting him with batters is smart. The Giants have shown the ability to explode as they did in Great American Ballpark, and I love them to go off tonight at an extremely low ownership.
