What’s up, 4Deep?! Baseball is here and I’m ready to put us in the driver’s seat to hopefully take down some tournaments this year! First and foremost, baseball is the only sport that I consistently play multiple lineups. I HIGHLY recommend at least playing two lineups. Fading chalk in baseball is usually the key to taking down tournaments, but is not always the correct move. What I will be providing below is an in-depth breakdown of my top stacks of the night and I will always start with what I believe will be the chalk, followed with my favorite pitchers as well. Generally speaking, chalk is usually chalk because they are in a good spot and I will be telling you whether or not I agree with it. What I want though, is for you to understand what is chalk and then determine whether or not you want to play them! Now, let’s get to the fun part with a lot of numbers and all the pitch data you can handle!
Chalk Stack Of The Day
Atlanta Braves vs. Jake Irvin (RH)
The only thing more pure than the Braves is a torn ACL in tonight’s football game, but it’s still close. It’s a tough slate to get weird and have the upside the Braves have, so of course I’m in. If playing multiple lines, by all means, throw a dart at a fade, but they’re too good. My favorite play on the team is Austin Riley, always against a right handed pitcher that can’t miss his bat. After that, just stack them how you can as usual.
Top Stacks Of The Day
Baltimore Orioles vs. Hunter Gaddis (RH)
Favorites: Gunner Henderson, Anthony Santander, Cedric Mullins, and Adley Rutschman.
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Kyle Harrison (LH)
Favorites: Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy, Mookie Betts, and JD Martinez.
Top Spend Up Pitcher Of The Day
Jose Berrios (RH) vs. New York Yankees
Rostering Berrios always feels uncomfortable and now he’s priced over $10k, which makes it even worse, but the matchup is there. Over the last 30 days the Yankees rank dead last in the split with the highest K rate in the league. He is oddly my safest play of the night, but not my favorite.
Top Mid Tier Pitcher Of The Day
Tarik Skubal (LH) vs. Oakland Athletics
Skubal has been extremely reverse splits from a K perspective, with a dominant 34.5% against right handed hitters and a 9.4% against lefties. The Athletics are projected to have one left handed bat in the lineup and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see ZERO because managers have no idea what they’re doing. Skubal is my favorite pitcher of the night.
Top Value Pitcher Of The Day
Luis Medina (RH) vs. Detroit Tigers
While the Yankees are the worst team in the split over the last 30 days, the Tigers are the second worst team in the split with the second highest K rate.
