San Francisco was also 17th in wRC+ (99) with a 23.0 K% in the previous 30 days. As a result, the Padres are -235 favorites, and the game’s total is 8.0 runs.
Jacob Lopez is on an unreal heater, with the following numbers in his previous five starts spanning 29 innings.
- 1.55 ERA
- 3.22 xFIP
- 3.23 SIERA
- 0.93 WHIP
- Three wins
- Two quality starts
- 11.4 SwStr%
- 27.6 CSW%
- 96 stuff+
- 103 location+

Lopez has a favorable matchup and adequate betting info tonight. The Twins are tied for 17th in wRC+ (92) with a 23.4 K% versus lefties and tied for 16th in wRC+ (102) with a 21.1 K% at home this year. However, Minnesota was 21st in wRC+ (95) with a 22.5 K% in the previous 30 days. The Athletics are slight underdogs (+130), but the game’s total is a non-threatening 8.0 runs.
Hunter Greene has excelled on the road. In 96 innings on the road since last year, he’s twirled a 2.44 ERA and 0.99 WHIP with an 8.1 BB% and 25.4 K%. The flame-throwing righty’s 4.24 xFIP on the road since last year suggests he’s been lucky. Nevertheless, his ERA and strikeout rate were DFS-friendly.
Greene’s matchup against the Angels is nifty, with them ranking tied for 22nd in wRC+ (98) with a 25.8 K% versus righties and 20th in wRC+ (94) with a 26.4 K% at home this season. They were also tied for 15th in wRC+ (100) with a 26.5 K% in the previous 30 days. Finally, the Reds are listed as -150 favorites, and the game’s total is 8.5 runs.
Suggested Lineup Stacks
Los Angeles’s offense embarrassed themselves in a plus matchup at Coors Field last night, disappointing gamers who used them as a chalky stack. They’ll be chalky again tonight. However, it’s worth eating the chalk against Austin Gomber and Colorado’s dreadful bullpen. Gomber has had a 5.51 ERA, 4.90 xFIP and 1.46 WHIP in 101.1 innings at home since last season.
- Road (Truist Park)
- Game Total/Moneyline: 9.0 Runs/CWS +145
Unfortunately, Colson Montgomery left last night’s game early with a side injury. Additionally, gamers might not sleep on stacking the White Sox after they hammered Spencer Strider and Atlanta’s bullpen last night. Still, Chicago’s matchup against Bryce Elder is mouthwatering. Elder has a 6.59 ERA, 4.94 xFIP, 5.23 SIERA and 1.57 WHIP in his previous five starts. Elder has also had a 7.09 ERA, 4.98 xFIP and 1.91 WHIP in 72.1 innings at home since last year. Thus, the White Sox have an opportunity for another explosive outing tonight.
