The Mariners are only slight favorites (-110), but the game’s pitcher-friendly total of 7.5 runs is tantalizing.

Logan Webb (SP – SF) at COL

Coors Field is a house of horrors for pitchers. Logan Webb hasn’t been immune to the pitfalls of Coors Field. Still, he hasn’t been a disaster in Colorado, either. According to Baseball Reference, Webb has a 4.44 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 6.1 BB% and 20.8 K% in nine career starts spanning 52.2 innings at Coors Field.

The Rockies are also tied for eighth in wOBA (.332) at home this year, which isn’t terrifying. In addition, Colorado was 29th in wRC+ (79) with a 22.2 K% in the previous 30 days. Thus, the Giants are listed as commanding -245 favorites, and the game’s total is 10.0 runs. Webb is an intriguing GPP pick.

Yu Darvish (SP – SD) vs. BAL

Yu Darvish has some eye-catching numbers and ugly ones in his recent starts. In his previous five starts spanning 24 innings, Darvish has had the following stats.

Darvish’s SIERA was decent, his WHIP was sterling and his strikeout rate was DFS-friendly. Darvish has also been sharp at home. The veteran righty has a 3.45 ERA, 3.99 xFIP, 1.04 WHIP, 7.1 BB% and 23.4 K% in 75.2 innings at home since last season. Darvish could pitch to the upper range of his possible outcomes in a nifty matchup tonight.

Suggested Lineup Stacks

Road (Coors Field)
Game Total/Moneyline: 10.0 Runs/SF -245

Kyle Freeland has a 5.38 ERA, 4.58 xFIP and 1.58 WHIP in 107 innings at home since last season. He’s been unable to navigate his hitter-friendly home ballpark. Additionally, Freeland has surrendered a .329 wOBA to 113 left-handed batters and a .366 wOBA to 468 right-handed batters this season. Finally, Colorado’s relievers have the second-highest ERA this season. So, it’s an eruption spot for the Giants.
