MLB Stacking To Win It: 7-24-17

Stacking has become a prime way to take down big tournaments, as well as giving your cash game team a solid floor. We focus on opposing pitcher stats, Vegas, weather, park factors, team stats, salaries, and player stats when deciding the top three stacks of the night. I know. Shocker we look at those things. If there is a Coors game on the slate, we will mostly divert our attention elsewhere, as Coors games are the obvious stacks of the night. It doesn't need much breaking down. Be sure to check out or revamped Stack Generator and Stack features inside our Lineup Optimizer and Tools.

Let's get the obvious stack out of the way here. This could very well be Bartolo Colon's last start in the majors, and I will not miss stacking against him. Los Angeles will be a popular stack, so be prepared to have some contrarian one-offs and/or pitching options to try and separate yourself from the field. You could also add in lower batting order guys who will come in at lower ownership, but have the same matchup. Yasiel Puig and Yasmani Grandal are the two not named above. Colon has allowed a .380 wOBA to lefties this season, and a .413 wOBA to right-handers. Even if Colon gets shelled and heads out early, the Twins bullpen has the fifth worse ERA in the majors. Corey Seager, Joc Pederson, and Cody Bellinger all have over a .370 wOBA and .200 ISO against right-handers this year. Chris Taylor and Justin Turner both have over a .360 wOBA, and handle right-handed pitching very well.
