Tonight's game at Coors naturally checks in with two of the highest implied totals on the board, and the Chicago Cubs are in an especially good spot against Peter Lambert, who had a great debut against these same Cubs last week but is making just his second MLB start. However, there's plenty of other spots to dive into on tonight's hefty 15-game slate.
Each day here on numberFire, we'll go through four offenses ripe for the stacking. They could have a great matchup, be in a great park, or just have a lot of quality sticks in the lineup, but these are the offenses primed for big days that you may want a piece of.
Premium members can use our stacking feature to customize their stacks within their optimal lineups for the day, choosing the team you want to stack and how many players you want to include. You can also check out our hitting heat map, which provides an illustration of which offenses have the best combination of matchup and potency.
Now, let's get to the stacks. As usual, we will not include today's game at Coors Field in these recommendations. You already know that you want bats at Coors when you can afford them, and you don't need us to tell you. Here are the other teams you should be targeting in daily fantasy baseball today.
Washington Nationals
The Washington Nationals piled on 12 runs against the Chicago White Sox on Monday, and they could very well put up big numbers again tonight.
The White Sox are rolling out left-hander Manny Banuelos, who's posted a 5.29 SIERA through 40.1 innings this year and only managed a 4.94 SIERA over 26.1 innings in his last Major League season... back in 2015. He has a fairly average strikeout rate (21.1%) and has struggled with both walks (13.5%) and home runs (2.45 per nine innings), none of which bodes well for his chances of holding back the Nats.
Trea Turner ($4,000) and Anthony Rendon ($4,400) will have the platoon advantage, and Rendon in particular has thrived in righty-lefty matchups, producing a .306 ISO off a 42.9% hard-hit rate and 52.8% fly-ball rate dating back to 2017.
