Who is your favorite sneaky stack on the board and why?

headChopper: Red Sox – Anything outside of Coors Field is going to fly under the radar, and Boston fits that mold. They’re at home facing a pitcher, Bailey Falter, who is hovering around a 5.00 xFIP and SIERA, and they’ve got the 2nd-highest implied team total on the slate. The Sox are coming off a strong series against a solid pitching staff and have the firepower to hang a big number on any given night.

boggslite: Brewers – We’ll need to check the weather, but assuming this game plays, the Brewers are one of my top pivots off of the Coors Field game. Erick Fedde has really struggled this season, and this Brewers team is capable of putting up some big innings.

ebeimfohr: Brewers – Erick Fedde is just not a league-quality pitcher any longer. The Braves are trying to limp to the finish line of a disastrous season and are using him to eat innings. The Brewers get the perk of being on the road for the full 9 innings, and that should let them feast on Fedde and the bad relievers in the Braves’ bullpen. According to our MLB weather page, it does appear to be a bit dicey (orange/yellow, per Kevin Roth), which should really keep ownership down on an offense that’s been on a roll against a team that has quit on the season.

Who is your favorite pitcher (when considering price, matchup, projected ownership, etc.) on the board and why?
