**STARTING PITCHERS**
Stephen Strasburg vs. San Diego Padres
Park – Nationals Park
Strasburg is off to another strong start as he is 5-1 with a 3.28 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. While his strikeouts are down compared to past seasons, he still has 59 strikeouts in 60.1 innings. He has been a model of consistency this year, allowing three runs or less in all but one of his starts. Saturday brings a very favorable match up against a poor Padres offense, making Strasburg well worth his high price tag.
Derek Holland vs. Detroit Tigers
Park – Guaranteed Rate Park
Holland has been one of the better surprises in baseball this season after struggling with poor performance and injuries over the last two seasons. He had an ERA of at least 4.91 and threw fewer than 108 innings in both 2015 and 2016, marking the end of his tenure with the Texas Rangers after the 2016 season. The change of scenery has done wonders for him so far as he is 4-3 with a 2.47 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 44 strikeouts in 54.2 innings. He has allowed three earned runs or less and recorded at least five strikeouts in three of his last four starts, making him a viable option at a reduced rate Saturday.
**OFFENSIVE STACKS**
Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Chase Anderson (Milwaukee Brewers)
Park – Miller Park
Anderson has really struggled lately as he has allowed at least four runs in four of his last five starts and has not pitched more than 5.1 innings in each of his last four starts. He allows a lot of base runners as his WHIP sits at an ugly 1.46. He’s never had an ERA under 4.00 for his career, so his struggles this season are pretty much par for the course. Expect him to get hit hard by a Diamondbacks offense that is among the best in baseball.
Players to consider stacking: Paul Goldschmidt, Jake Lamb and David Peralta
Los Angeles Angels vs. Vance Worley (Miami Marlins)
Park – Marlins Park
Worley made his first start of the season against the Los Angeles Dodgers last Sunday and he did not pitch well as he gave up three runs in only four innings. Worley struggles to keep runners off base, evident by his career 1.39 WHIP. He’s not a strikeout pitcher either, leaving him with very little appeal. Look for the Angels to have success against him Saturday.
Players to consider stacking: Mike Trout, Kole Calhoun and Andrelton Simmons
