Daily Fantasy Baseball Stacks for 07/02/2017

Daily Fantasy Baseball Stacks – Sunday, July 2

Sunday is loaded with elite starting pitchers, so don’t be afraid to invest big money at the position. Put your favorite daily fantasy baseball stacks from the article below in our lineup optimizer and hit calculate. You can let it fill in the rest of the spots for you or choose your personal favorites from the MLB Player Lab.

**STARTING PITCHERS**

Max Scherzer vs. St. Louis Cardinals
Park – Busch Stadium

Scherzer has been lights out this season as he enters Sunday 9-4 with a 2.06 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 151 strikeouts in 113.2 innings. His current 12.0 K/9 would be the highest mark of his career. Not only are his strikeouts impressive, but he has only issued 24 walks this season. Scherzer faced the Cardinals earlier this season and allowed one run while recording 10 strikeouts over six innings. Look for him to be dominant again in this outing.

Justin Verlander vs. Cleveland Indians
Park – Comerica Park

Verlander is not having the best of seasons as he enters Sunday 5-4 with a 4.47 ERA and 1.45 WHIP. His control has been a problem as he has already walked 44 batters in 94.2 innings. By comparison, he walked 57 batters over 227.2 innings in 2016.  He did face Cleveland earlier this season and allowed two runs to go along with five strikeouts over seven innings. The key to this game is that Verlandar is a much better pitcher at home than on the road. He has a very ugly 6.22 ERA and 1.62 WHIP on the road, but a sparkling 2.45 ERA and 1.25 WHIP at home. In a day full of stud starting pitchers, Verlander looks primed for a big performance.

**OFFENSIVE STACKS**

Tampa Bay Rays vs. Kevin Gausman (Baltimore Orioles)
Park – Oriole Park at Camden Yards

Although Gausman finished 2016 with a 9-12 record, he showed plenty of promise as he had a 3.61 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 174 strikeouts in 179.2 innings. However, he has taken a big step backwards this season as the Orioles starting staff has struggled as a group. Gausman has an unsightly 6.07 ERA and 1.84 WHIP. His strikeouts are also down as he only has 67 in 86 innings. He walked only 47 batters last season, but has already walked 41 this year. Look for the Rays to take advantage of his poor performance Sunday.

Players to consider stacking: Evan Longoria, Logan Morrison and Mallex Smith

Minnesota Twins vs. Travis Wood (Kansas City Royals)
Park – Kauffman Stadium

The move to the American League has not been kind to Wood. After posting a 2.95 ERA and 1.13 WHIP for the Chicago Cubs last year, Wood has a 6.28 ERA and 1.81 WHIP this season. This will be Wood’s first start of the season and he’s not really stretched out, so don’t expect him to pitch deep into the game. Look for the Twins to feast on him early, then continue their assault on the underbelly of the Royals’ bullpen.

Players to consider stacking: Miguel Sano, Brian Dozier and Robbie Grossman

Daily Fantasy Baseball Stacks – Saturday, July 1

The calendar turns to July Saturday with 17 games on the MLB schedule. Put your favorite daily fantasy baseball stacks from the article below in our lineup optimizer and hit calculate. You can let it fill in the rest of the spots for you or choose your personal favorites from the MLB Player Lab.

**STARTING PITCHERS**

Chris Sale vs. Toronto Blue Jays
Park – Rogers Centre

Sale has been dominant in his first season in Boston as he enters Saturday with a 2.77 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 155 strikeouts in 113.2 innings. He has only walked 21 batters this season and allowed just nine home runs. While the Blue Jays lineup can be productive, Sale already shut them down earlier this season when he struck out 13 batters over eight scoreless innings. Although he will be expensive, don’t hesitate to start Sale Saturday.

Gio Gonzalez vs. St. Louis Cardinals
Park – Busch Stadium

Gonzalez was a pretty average starter in 2016 as he finished the season 11-11 with a 4.57 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 171 strikeouts in 177.1 innings. This season has been a vastly different story as he is 7-2 with a 2.87 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 95 strikeouts in 100.1 innings. His consistency has been key as he has allowed three runs or less in each of his last seven starts. The Cardinals entered Friday hitting only .228 against left handed pitching, which is third worst in the majors. Gonzalez should be in for another nice outing Saturday.

**OFFENSIVE STACKS**

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Tom Koehler (Miami Marlins)
Park – Miller Park

Simply put, Koehler is having a terrible season. He has made eight starts for the Marlins and has a 7.04 ERA and a 1.64 WHIP. Although he has only pitched 38.1 innings, he has walked 19 batters and allowed 10 home runs. You can’t count on him for strikeouts either as he only has a 6.9 K/9 for his career. The Brewers hit a lot of home runs, so this could get ugly in a hurry for Koehler.

Players to consider stacking: Travis Shaw, Jonathan Villar and Keon Broxton

Cincinnati Reds vs. Eddie Butler (Chicago Cubs)
Park – Great American Ball Park

Butler’s ERA sits at a very respectable 3.71, but a further look at his numbers would indicate he has not pitched that well. Not only does he has a 1.35 WHIP, but he only has 26 strikeouts in 43.2 innings. He walks too many batters as well as he has already issued 21 free passes. His saving grace is that he has only allowed three home runs. The Reds starting rotation is horrible, but their offense is in the top half of the majors. Look to take advantage of this favorable match up against Butler Saturday.

Players to consider stacking: Joey Votto, Adam Duvall and Zack Cozart

Daily Fantasy Baseball Stacks – Sunday, June 25

There are a lot of bad pitchers taking the mound Sunday, meaning there should be a lot of offensive production to cash in on. Put your favorite daily fantasy baseball stacks from the article below in our lineup optimizer and hit calculate. You can let it fill in the rest of the spots for you or choose your personal favorites from the MLB Player Lab.

**STARTING PITCHERS**

Sonny Gray vs. Chicago White Sox
Park – Guaranteed Rate Field

Gray gave up five runs in his last start against the Houston Astros, but had allowed three runs or less in three straight starts entering that outing. His overall numbers don’t stand out as he has a 4.84 ERA and 1.42 WHIP, but he does have 58 strikeouts in 57.2 innings. The White Sox have struggled against right handed pitchers this season as they are batting only .248 against them with a .399 slugging percentage. With such a weak group of starters going Sunday, Gray is one of the best available options.

Jordan Zimmermann vs. San Diego Padres
Park – Petco Park

Zimmermann has pitched very well of late, allowing eight total runs over his last four starts. He faced some tough offenses over that stretch too, squaring off against both the Seattle Mariners and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Some very poor outings earlier this season have left him with bloated numbers overall though as he has a 5.25 ERA and 1.46 WHIP for the season. The Padres offense is bad, so going with Zimmermann makes a lot of sense Sunday given the other available options.

**OFFENSIVE STACKS**

Oakland Athletics vs. Derek Holland (Chicago White Sox)
Park – Guaranteed Rate Field

Holland has been terrible lately as he has allowed at least six runs in three of his last four starts. His excellent start to the season has been all but washed away with his recent struggles as he now has a 4.48 ERA and 1.52 WHIP overall. Home runs have been a problem for him as he has already allowed 16 in only 76.1 innings. While the Athletics may not hit for a high average, they do hit plenty of homers. This has the makings over another bad outing for Holland.

Players to consider stacking: Khris Davis, Ryon Healy and Rajai Davis

Tampa Bay Rays vs. Chris Tillman (Baltimore Orioles)
Park – Tropicana Field

The Baltimore Orioles have one of the worst starting staffs in all of baseball and Tillman has been right in the middle of their struggles. He enters Sunday with a gruesome 8.39 ERA and 2.17 WHIP. He only has 26 strikeouts compared to 22 walks and has given up nine home runs in only 39.2 innings. Over his last three starts, he has allowed a staggering 19 runs in only 10.2 innings. Look for the Rays to put up some big numbers Sunday.

Players to consider stacking: Corey Dickerson, Logan Morrison and Mallex Smith

Daily Fantasy Baseball Stacks – Saturday, June 24

There are several aces taking the mound Saturday, so look for some big strikeout totals. Put your favorite daily fantasy baseball stacks from the article below in our lineup optimizer and hit calculate. You can let it fill in the rest of the spots for you or choose your personal favorites from the MLB Player Lab.

**STARTING PITCHERS**

Robbie Ray vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Park – Chase Field

Ray had a sub par outing against the Phillies in his last start as he allowed four runs in 5.1 innings. However, he still provided value as he recorded seven strikeouts. Ray continues to be a strikeout machine as he has 114 in only 87.2 innings this season. His current 2.87 ERA and 1.14 WHIP are the best of his career and he already has seven wins, one shy of his career high. The Phillies offense is among the worst in baseball, so look for Ray to have a better outing against them at home this time around.

Lance Lynn vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Park – Busch Stadium

Lynn missed the entire 2016 season due to injury, but has returned to provide solid production this season as he has a 3.33 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 76 strikeouts in 78.1 innings. Lynn has been excellent at home this season, posting a 1.53 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over five starts. He has already faced the Pirates once this season and pitched seven scoreless innings while recording five strikeouts. The price is right to go with Lynn Saturday if you want to save some money at starting pitcher.

**OFFENSIVE STACKS**

New York Yankees vs. Austin Bibens-Dirkx (Texas Rangers)
Park – Yankee Stadium

Bibens-Dirkx has pitched in eight games this season, three of which were starts. On the surface, his 4.25 ERA and 1.05 WHIP would indicate he has at least had moderate success. The area of concern though is that he only has 18 strikeouts in 29.2 innings. He has also allowed six home runs already. Saturday presents a very difficult opponent in the Yankees who hit a ton of home runs. They can strike out a lot, but with Bibens-Dirkx not having that type of stuff, this could get ugly.

Players to consider stacking: Aaron Judge, Matt Holliday and Didi Gregorius

Texas Rangers vs. Luis Cessa (New York Yankees)
Park – Yankee Stadium

Cessa continues to fill in for the injured C.C. Sabathia, but he struggled in his last start against the Oakland Athletics as he allowed four runs over four innings. Cessa has only thrown 7.1 innings in the big leagues this season, but has already allowed two home runs. The long ball has been a problem throughout his short time in the majors as he has allowed 18 home runs in 77.2 career innings. The Rangers may not hit for average, but their lineup is loaded with power hitters. This game between the Rangers and Yankees has the potential to be a fireworks show.

Players to consider stacking: Adrian Beltre, Nomar Mazara and Joey Gallo

Daily Fantasy Baseball Stacks – Sunday, June 18

Let’s finish the week off strong and put some money in your pocket Sunday. Put your favorite daily fantasy baseball stacks from the article below in our lineup optimizer and hit calculate. You can let it fill in the rest of the spots for you or choose your personal favorites from the MLB Player Lab.

**STARTING PITCHERS**

Robbie Ray vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Park – Citizens Bank Park

Ray had a rough 2016 campaign, finishing 8-15 with a 4.90 ERA and 1.47 WHIP. However, he showed potential as he recorded 218 strikeouts in 174.1 innings. He has put it all together in 2017 as he enters Sunday 7-3 with a 2.62 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 107 strikeouts in 82.1 innings. While those numbers are fantastic, he has been even better of late as he has allowed one earned run over his last five game combined and recorded at least 10 strikeouts in three straight starts. This is a mismatch against the Phillies dismal offense, making Ray an excellent play.

Jacob Faria vs. Detroit Tigers
Park – Comerica Park

Faria has been excellent in his first two starts with the Rays as he allowed two runs to go along with 13 strikeouts in 12.2 innings. He was fantastic in Triple-A before being called up as he had a 3.07 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 84 strikeouts in 58.2 innings. His career numbers in the minor leagues are great as well as he struck out 626 batters in 599 innings. If you want to save money at starting pitcher Sunday, Faria is your guy.

**OFFENSIVE STACKS**

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Bronson Arroyo (Cincinnati Reds)
Park – Great American Ball Park

Coming into this season, Bronson Arroyo had not pitched in the majors since 2014. His return has not been a successful one as he entered Sunday with a 7.01 ERA and 1.56 WHIP. He is not a strikeout pitcher either as he only has 47 strikeouts in 86 innings. His last start came against the anemic San Diego Padres offense, but he still managed to give up nine runs on 13 hits. Arroyo is only in the Reds rotation because they have so few quality options, so expect the Dodgers to put up plenty of offense in this game.

Players to consider stacking: Cody Bellinger, Corey Seager and Chris Taylor

Oakland Athletics vs. Luis Cessa (New York Yankees)
Park – Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Cessa will be making his first start of the season for the Yankees in place of the injured C.C. Sabathia. Cessa started nine games for the Yankees in 2016 and posted a 4.01 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. However, he only recorded 35 strikeouts in 51.2 innings. His numbers at Triple-A were not great this year as he posted a 4.15 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and only 47 strikeouts in 65 innings. He doesn’t have the kind of stuff to slow down a hot Oakland offense, so take advantage of him in this game.

Players to consider stacking: Ryon Healy, Yonder Alonso and Jed Lowrie

Daily Fantasy Baseball Stacks – Saturday, June 17

Saturday’s schedule is filled with bad starting pitchers, so get ready for some big offensive performances. Put your favorite daily fantasy baseball stacks from the article below in our lineup optimizer and hit calculate. You can let it fill in the rest of the spots for you or choose your personal favorites from the MLB Player Lab.

**STARTING PITCHERS**

Stephen Strasburg vs. New York Mets
Park – Citi Field

Strasburg was roughed up for six runs over five innings in his last start against the Atlanta Braves, but he still managed to record 10 strikeouts in the outing. He has been an excellent source of strikeouts as he has piled up at least 10 strikeouts in three of his last five games. Strasburg has been impressive on the road this season as he is 5-1 with a 2.53 ERA away from Nationals Park. The Mets are dealing with injuries to their offense, evident by their lineup Friday where their fourth through sixth hitters were Wilmer Flores, Lucas Duda and T.J Rivera, respectively. Expect a big outing from Strasburg Saturday.

Chase Anderson vs. San Diego Padres
Park – Miller Park

Anderson is on an impressive hot streak where he has allowed only one earned run over his last four starts combined. Two of those four starts came against the potent Arizona Diamondbacks offense as well. His overall numbers for the season are now impressive as he has a 2.83 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 71 strikeouts in 76.1 innings. Saturday he gets to face a Padres offense that struggles to score and strikes out a ton. This has the makings off another strong performance from Anderson.

**OFFENSIVE STACKS**

Colorado Rockies vs. Matt Cain (San Francisco Giants)
Park – Coors Field

Well, this is an epic mismatch. Cain has been terrible this season as he has a 5.22 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and only 43 strikeouts in 69 innings. Over his last two starts, he has allowed 10 runs and only recorded four strikeouts. His road stats (8.40 ERA and 2.03 WHIP) as well as his stats in day games (8.53 ERA and 1.95 WHIP) are atrocious this season. As if that’s not bad enough, he will be facing one of the best offenses in baseball. Load up your lineup with Rockies and enjoy the show.

Players to consider stacking: Nolan Arenado, Charlie Blackmon and DJ LeMahieu

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Mike Pelfrey (Chicago White Sox)
Park – Rogers Centre

Pelfrey has struggled to give the White Sox length all season as he has only pitched 48.2 innings over 10 starts. His numbers aren’t terrible as he has a 3.81 ERA and 1.33 WHIP, but his stuff is not overpowering as he only has 30 strikeouts. Most of his success has been at home as he has a 4.50 ERA on the road. The Blue Jays are a better team at home than on the road, so don’t be surprised if they rough up Pelfrey Saturday.

Players to consider stacking: Josh Donaldson, Justin Smoak and Jose Bautista

TOP MLB Daily Fantasy Baseball Stacks – Sunday, June 11

Sunday’s slate of games looks to be top-heavy when it comes to starting pitchers, leaving plenty of offensive opportunities against several lesser starters. Put your favorite daily fantasy baseball stacks from the article below in our lineup optimizer and hit calculate. You can let it fill in the rest of the spots for you or choose your personal favorites from the MLB Player Lab.

Top MLB Daily Fantasy Stacks - Max Scherzer - Washington Nationals - Lineuplab

**STARTING PITCHERS**

Max Scherzer vs. Texas Rangers
Park – Nationals Park

Scherzer is having another excellent season as he enters Sunday 7-3 with a 2.35 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 114 strikeouts in 84.1 innings pitched. Always a great source for strikeouts, Scherzer has recorded at least 11 of them in each of his last three games. He does a great job keeping runners off base in general as he has posted a WHIP of 0.97 or lower in four of the last five seasons. The Rangers are not a terrible offensive team, but they do strike out a lot. Look for Scherzer to have another impressive outing Sunday.

Adam Wainwright vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Park – Busch Stadium

Wainwright was rocked for nine runs in his last outing against the Cincinnati Reds and his overall numbers don’t look great as he has a 4.82 ERA and 1.56 WHIP on the season overall. However, he was hot heading into that start against the Reds as he had allowed no more than one run in four straight outings. The big key for Wainwright is that he gets to face a putrid Phillies offense that was shut out by Carlos Martinez on Saturday. While Wainwright is not close to the pitcher that Martinez is, you can still expect him to have success in this contest.

TOP MLB Daily Fantasy Baseball Stacks - Aaron Judge - Yankees - Lineuplab

**OFFENSIVE STACKS**

New York Yankees vs. Kevin Gausman (Baltimore Orioles)
Park – Yankee Stadium

The Yankees offense is firing on all cylinders right now and they have just been dominating the Orioles. Sunday they get to face Gausman for the second time in less than two weeks. Although he only allowed two runs in his first start against the Yankees, he was lucky as he allowed eight hits and five walks. Gausman is having a terrible season in general as he has a 5.86 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and only 47 strikeouts in 66 innings. Get ready for another big performance from the Bronx Bombers.

Players to consider stacking: Aaron Judge, Starlin Castro and Aaron Hicks

Minnesota Twins vs. Matt Cain (San Francisco Giants)
Park – AT&T Park

Matt Cain is a long ways removed from being a dominant starting pitcher. He enters Sunday with a 4.87 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and only 42 strikeouts in 64.2 innings. His big problem is keeping runners off base as he has had a WHIP of at least 1.50 in each of the last three seasons. To top it off, Cain has a 7.98 ERA in day games this year. With the type of diminished stuff that Cain has at this point in his career, the Twins could be in for a big game on Sunday.

Players to consider stacking: Miguel Sano, Brian Dozier and Max Kepler

Daily Fantasy Baseball Stacks – Saturday, June 10

Saturday’s schedule is packed with 17 games, leaving a lot of options to choose from for your DFS entry. Put your favorite daily fantasy baseball stacks from the article below in our lineup optimizer and hit calculate. You can let it fill in the rest of the spots for you or choose your personal favorites from the MLB Player Lab.

daily fantasy baseball stacks - Carlos Martinez - MLB - Lineuplab.com

**STARTING PITCHERS**

Carlos Martinez vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Park – Busch Stadium

Martinez may only have a 4-5 record, but he deserves to have more wins than that. He enters Saturday with a 3.29 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 88 strikeouts in 79.1 innings pitched. Strikeouts are a big part of his value as he has recorded at least eight of them in each of his last three starts. Saturday he gets an excellent match up against the Phillies who are among the worst teams in baseball in terms of runs scored. Martinez should be well worth his high price tag in this contest.

Sonny Gray vs. Tampa Bay Rays
Stadium – Tropicana Field

Gray is coming off of a strong start where he only allowed three runs over seven innings against the potent Washington Nationals offense. He has been solid of late overall, throwing a quality start in four of his last five outings. Not known as a big strikeout pitcher, he does have a very respectable 37 strikeouts in 41.1 innings this year.  If you don’t want to spend the money on Martinez Saturday, Gray does provide value at a very reasonable price as well.

daily fantasy baseball stacks - Aaron Judge - Lineuplab

**OFFENSIVE STACKS**

New York Yankees vs. Chris Tillman (Baltimore Orioles)
Park – Yankee Stadium

Tillman has struggled mightily this season as he enters Saturday with a 5.59 ERA and 1.83 WHIP. He has had issues with his control this season as he is averaging 4.7 walks per nine innings, which would be his highest average since 2010. The Yankees already faced Tillman just over a week ago and crushed him for five runs in 2.2 innings. The Yankees offense is rolling right now, so expect them to continue to have success against Tillman Saturday.

Players to consider stacking: Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez and Brett Gardner

Houston Astros vs. Ricky Nolasco (Los Angeles Angels)
Park – Minute Maid Park

Nolasco’s numbers are ugly as he has a 5.05 ERA and 1.38 WHIP for the season. The scariest stat of them all though is that he has already allowed 18 home runs in only 66 innings. The Astros will get their chance to tee off on Nolasco Saturday. Don’t be surprised to see some balls leave the yard as the Astros not only have one of the best offenses in all of baseball, but also one of the most powerful.

Players to consider stacking: Jose Altuve, George Springer and Evan Gattis

Daily Fantasy Baseball Stacks – Sunday, June 4

Sunday is a big day for starting pitchers as several elite strikeout hurlers are taking the mound. Put your favorite daily fantasy baseball stacks from the article below in our lineup optimizer and hit calculate. You can let it fill in the rest of the spots for you or choose your personal favorites from the MLB Player Lab.

**STARTING PITCHERS**

Justin Verlander vs. Chicago White Sox
Park – Comerica Park

Verlander’s numbers don’t look good at first glance as he has a 4.50 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP for the season. However, a lot of that damage was done over two starts against the Houston Astros and the Cleveland Indians where he gave up a total of 15 runs. His strikeouts have been solid as he has 63 over 68 innings for the season. He has already faced the White Sox once this season and he only allowed two runs in six innings to go along with 10 strikeouts. Look for him to have success against them again Sunday.

Trevor Bauer vs. Kansas City Royals
Park – Kauffman Stadium

Bauer has very odd numbers as his 6.00 ERA and 1.39 WHIP are very ugly. However, he is a big strikeout pitcher as he already has 73 in 57 innings. He is coming off of a start against the Oakland Athletics where he recorded 14 strikeouts in seven innings.  His recent numbers have been better as he has allowed three runs or less and recorded at least six strikeouts in each of his last four starts. The Royals have one of the worst offenses in all of baseball, making Bauer a nice value play Sunday.

**OFFENSIVE STACKS**

Colorado Rockies vs. Jarred Cosart (San Diego Padres)
Park – Petco Park

The Rockies crushed the Padres on Saturday, scoring 10 runs on 13 hits. Sunday they get to face Cosart who has an atrocious 1.80 WHIP for the season. He only has 10 strikeouts in his 20 innings this season, but he has issued 16 walks already. This is an epic mismatch, so look for big numbers from the Rockies again in this contest.

Players to consider stacking: Nolan Arenado, Charlie Blackmon and DJ LeMahieu

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Vance Worley (Miami Marlins)
Park – Marlins Park

I’m going to go out on a limb and say the Diamondbacks will not be no-hit again on Sunday. Worley will be making his third start of the season on Sunday and while he only allowed two runs in his last start against the Los Angeles Angels, he only last five innings. In something you don’t see too often, he has allowed more runs (five) than he has recorded strikeouts (four) this season. His stuff is not overpowering to say the least, so expect the Diamondbacks offense to bounce back in a big way Sunday.

Players to consider stacking: Paul Goldschmidt, David Peralta and Nick Ahmed

Daily Fantasy Baseball Stacks – Saturday, June 3

Of the 30 starting pitchers taking the mound Saturday, only eight of them have a winning record. There could be some offensive explosions as a result. Put your favorite daily fantasy baseball stacks from the article below in our lineup optimizer and hit calculate. You can let it fill in the rest of the spots for you or choose your personal favorites from the MLB Player Lab.

Johnny Cueto - daily fantasy baseball stacks - lineuplab

**STARTING PITCHERS**

Johnny Cueto vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Park – Citizens Bank Park

Cueto has been off to a slow start this season as he enters Saturday with a 4.37 ERA and 1.23 WHIP. However, the strikeouts are still there as he has 68 in 70 innings. He has allowed at least four runs in four starts this season, but that came against potent offenses in the Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers, Colorado Rockies and the Arizona Diamondbacks. That won’t be the case Saturday as he gets to face the Phillies, one of the worst teams in baseball in terms of runs scored. This has the makings of a big outing for Cueto.

Tyler Chatwood vs. San Diego Padres
Park – Petco Park

At first glance, Chatwood’s numbers are not impressive as he has a 5.04 ERA and 1.40 WHIP this season. However, he is a far better pitcher on the road, posting a 3.06 ERA and 1.05 WHIP on the road compared to a 7.03 ERA and 1.75 WHIP at home. Not only is he on the road Saturday, but he also gets to face a Padres’ offense that is one of the worst offenses in the league. If you need to save money at starting pitcher, Chatwood has the potential to put up a valuable stat line.

Ryan Zimmerman - daily fantasy baseball stacks - lineuplab

**OFFENSIVE STACKS**

Washington Nationals vs. Daniel Mengden (Oakland Athletics)
Park – Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Mengden was hit hard in his only start this season as he allowed five runs in 3.1 innings against the Cleveland Indians. If he thought that was a tough match up, Saturday he gets to face one of the top offenses in all of baseball in the Nationals. This could get ugly in a hurry, leading to some crooked numbers for Washington. Load up your lineup with Nationals for this one.

Players to consider stacking: Ryan Zimmerman, Daniel Murphy and Trea Turner

Colorado Rockies vs. Jhoulys Chacin (San Diego Padres)
Park – Petco Park

Chacin has been hit hard lately, allowing 10 runs over his last two starts. He has actually allowed at least seven runs three times this season, resulting in a bloated 5.77 ERA and 1.46 WHIP. This is not out of the ordinary for Chacin as he has posted an ERA of at least 4.81 in three of the last four seasons. Even though they aren’t in the friendly confines of Coors Field, you can still expect a big performance from the Rockies offense Saturday,

Players to consider stacking: Nolan Arenado, Charlie Blackmon and Carlos Gonzalez
