Sticks & Stacks

May 6 2022 • 18 mins

As baseball turns its calendar to May, hosts Shawn Drotar (@sdrotar) and Jennifer Piacenti (@jenpiacenti) start their day in Cleveland, where are the Guardians send former Cy Young winner Shane Bieber to the mound against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays and pitcher Kevin Gausman, who’s  racked up a ridiculous 41 strikeouts this season without giving up either a home run… or even a single walk. Shawn likes both pitchers to keep dealing, while Jen thinks the surprising Guardians’ bats will stay hot. In Houston, sparkplug second baseman Jose Altuve is back, and hard-luck starter Luis Garcia looks to get things back on track against the struggling Detroit Tigers. Finally, the pair look to Arizona, where the surprising Diamondbacks host the even more surprising Colorado Rockies. C.J. Cron has become one of the league’s preeminent sluggers, but can the Rockies’ offense still hit on all cylinders away from Coors Field? They may not need to; the D-Backs are only hitting .191 on the season. Take a quick trip around the baseball betting and DFS world with Shawn and Jen on "Sticks & Stacks!"
