Daily Fantasy Baseball Stacks – Sunday, June 4
Sunday is a big day for starting pitchers as several elite strikeout hurlers are taking the mound. Put your favorite daily fantasy baseball stacks from the article below in our lineup optimizer and hit calculate. You can let it fill in the rest of the spots for you or choose your personal favorites from the MLB Player Lab.
**STARTING PITCHERS**
Justin Verlander vs. Chicago White Sox
Park – Comerica Park
Verlander’s numbers don’t look good at first glance as he has a 4.50 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP for the season. However, a lot of that damage was done over two starts against the Houston Astros and the Cleveland Indians where he gave up a total of 15 runs. His strikeouts have been solid as he has 63 over 68 innings for the season. He has already faced the White Sox once this season and he only allowed two runs in six innings to go along with 10 strikeouts. Look for him to have success against them again Sunday.
Trevor Bauer vs. Kansas City Royals
Park – Kauffman Stadium
Bauer has very odd numbers as his 6.00 ERA and 1.39 WHIP are very ugly. However, he is a big strikeout pitcher as he already has 73 in 57 innings. He is coming off of a start against the Oakland Athletics where he recorded 14 strikeouts in seven innings. His recent numbers have been better as he has allowed three runs or less and recorded at least six strikeouts in each of his last four starts. The Royals have one of the worst offenses in all of baseball, making Bauer a nice value play Sunday.
**OFFENSIVE STACKS**
Colorado Rockies vs. Jarred Cosart (San Diego Padres)
Park – Petco Park
The Rockies crushed the Padres on Saturday, scoring 10 runs on 13 hits. Sunday they get to face Cosart who has an atrocious 1.80 WHIP for the season. He only has 10 strikeouts in his 20 innings this season, but he has issued 16 walks already. This is an epic mismatch, so look for big numbers from the Rockies again in this contest.
Players to consider stacking: Nolan Arenado, Charlie Blackmon and DJ LeMahieu
Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Vance Worley (Miami Marlins)
Park – Marlins Park
I’m going to go out on a limb and say the Diamondbacks will not be no-hit again on Sunday. Worley will be making his third start of the season on Sunday and while he only allowed two runs in his last start against the Los Angeles Angels, he only last five innings. In something you don’t see too often, he has allowed more runs (five) than he has recorded strikeouts (four) this season. His stuff is not overpowering to say the least, so expect the Diamondbacks offense to bounce back in a big way Sunday.
Players to consider stacking: Paul Goldschmidt, David Peralta and Nick Ahmed
