STACKS
Top Overall Stack: Chicago Cubs
Implied Run Total: 4.25 (11th)
Projected Total Ownership: 39% (FD) / 32% (DK)
Considering upside, pOWN%, and price, the Cubs are my top stack in a game that could be impacted by weather. The wind is blowing out at Wrigley Field, and while it’s more of an 8-mph breeze than a strong wind, there is a high dew point that will give the weather a sticky feel and should help the ball stick to the bat on contact. WeatherEdge is showing this game with a 41.5% boost to HRs and a 25.7% boost to runs in a robust 174-game sample. Brewers RHP Colin Rea has given up 37 HRs in 229.2 IP over the past two seasons (1.45 HR/9), so he can be susceptible to the long ball. Perhaps most importantly, unlike the Coors Field game, the hitters in this game haven’t seen a price increase due to their situation. The Cubs are just the 16th-most-expensive stack on FanDuel and the 19th-most-expensive stack on DraftKings, on a night when we can actually use the savings to pay up for upside at pitcher.
The upper-middle part of the order will be my target. The Cubs have Michael Busch, Seiya Suzuki, and Ian Happ who all have an ISO over .192 and a wOBA over .348 vs. RHP this season projected as the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th hitters in their lineup. Christopher Morel is another option to consider with a .211 ISO vs. RHP since the start of last year.
