Sanchez has a plus-matchup and betting info tonight.
The Blue Jays are 25th in wRC+ (86) with a 19.2 K% versus lefties and 13th in wRC+ (103) with a 19.7% strikeout rate at home in 2026. The Phillies are -178 favorites, and the game’s total is 7.5 runs.
Logan Webb is underpriced at both DFS providers. His 4.25 ERA in 10 starts spanning 59.1 innings this season is higher than his 3.99 xERA, 3.47 xFIP and 3.66 SIERA. The 29-year-old righty has also pitched well in two starts since returning from the injured list (IL), allowing only one run on four hits, four walks, with nine strikeouts in 11.1 innings.
Webb’s matchup is mixed, but his betting info is favorable. The Nationals are tied for 10th in wRC+ (104) with a 20.8% strikeout rate versus righties and third in wRC+ (112) with a 22% strikeout rate on the road.
Washington is tied for 24th in wRC+ (86) with a 27.8% strikeout rate in the previous 30 days. The Giants are -184 favorites, and the game’s total is eight runs.
Gavin Williams is a whiz at home. In 126.1 innings at home since last season, the righty has twirled a 2.78 ERA, 3.23 xFIP, 1.12 WHIP, 8.9% walk rate and 29% strikeout rate. He’s also in stellar form, with the following stats in his last five starts, totaling 32.1 innings:
- 4 wins
- 3 quality starts
- 3.06 ERA
- 4.29 xERA
- 2.80 xFIP
- 2.92 SIERA
- 1.05 WHIP
- 3.2% walk rate
- 27% strikeout rate
- 15.5% SwStr%
- 31.3% CSW%
- 105 stuff+
- 109 location+
- 109 pitching+
Williams’ matchup against the Yankees isn’t a pushover. However, New York’s season-long rankings, which include being tied for sixth in wRC+ (110) with a 22.9% strikeout rate versus righties and tied for seventh in wRC+ (104) with a 23.7% strikeout rate on the road, mostly include Aaron Judge, who is on the IL.
My BrttingPros colleague Mike Spector dug deep on the Yankees’ splits with and without Judge. In his own words, they are staggering.
The Bronx Bombers still have some quality hitters, but the bottom of the order is unimpressive, and removing Judge from the lineup makes it a much more favorable matchup for Williams. The Guardians are listed as -115 favorites, and the game’s total is eight runs.
Suggested Lineup Stacks
The Mariners have an outstanding matchup against Chris Bassitt tonight. The veteran righty has a 5.27 ERA in 12 appearances (10 starts) in 2026, and his 4.88 xERA, 4.92 xFIP and 4.83 SIERA indicate he hasn’t been unlucky. He’s just been lousy.
Bassitt is a punching bag for left-handed batters, ceding a .368 wOBA to 576 of them since last season. Seattle’s left-handed batters are the most enticing stacking options, but Bassitt has also coughed up a .307 wOBA to 104 right-handed batters. Seattle’s righties are also reasonable stacking options.
The Giants have a mouthwatering matchup tonight. Among 123 pitchers with at least 50 innings pitched this year, Miles Mikolas is 121st in ERA (6.39), 108th in xERA (5.35), 94th in xFIP (4.49) and 91st in SIERA (4.48).
Mikolas has yielded a .350 wOBA to left-handed batters and a .343 wOBA to right-handed batters since last season. In addition, Washington’s bullpen is 24th in ERA (4.65) this season.
Core Studs
- Yordan Alvarez has hit 22 homers with 45 runs, 48 RBI, one stolen base, a .431 on-base percentage (OBP), .333 ISO, .453 wOBA and 193 wRC+ in 288 plate appearances this season.
- Willy Adames is on a heater. In 123 plate appearances from May 8th through June 6th, he ripped eight round-trippers with 21 runs, 23 RBI, a .366 OBP, .295 ISO, .416 wOBA, .354 expected wOBA (xwOBA) and 171 wRC+.
- Luis Arraez has hit eight homers with a .357 OBP, .094 ISO, .336 wOBA and 119 wRC+ in 1,125 plate appearances against right-handed pitching since 2024.
Value Plays/Punts
- Bryce Eldridge got off to a sluggish start after the Giants called him up from Triple-A. Still, in 63 plate appearances from May 18th through June 6th, he hit one homer with 12 runs, five RBI, a .444 OBP, .182 ISO, .437 wOBA, .438 xwOBA and 185 wRC+.
