STACKS

Stacking will be popular on Monday night due to the available bats and lack of dominant starting pitching.

The Mets could be a low GPP stack since they struggled against Rockies pitching this weekend. Anchoring with Adrian Gonzalez and sprinkling in Asdrubal Cabrera, Michael Conforto and others is worth a look.

Oakland has right-handed bats with power against Dallas Keuchel. Matt Chapman, Mark Canha, Khris Davis and Chad Pinder all have home runs against Keuchel. It would be hard not to roster Jed Lowrie with the season he’s having.

San Francisco has had too much success against Zach Eflin not to build a stack. The Brandon’s (Belt and Crawford) should be a part of the stack. Alen Hanson offers a cheap option that has played well in a small sample size.

The Marlins should have a low ownership rate and with Starlin Castro returning to Wrigley, a stack could yield high rewards with J.T. Realmuto, Derek Dietrich and Justin Bour. Plus, the Cubs just lost in 14 innings and were swept by their bitter rivals.
