Sticks & Stacks

As Major League Baseball’s weekend series begin, hosts Shawn Drotar (@sdrotar) and Jennifer Piacenti (@jenpiacenti) look at a trio of intriguing matchups, starting in Chicago, where the underachieving White Sox are off to a slow start. Lucas Giolito takes the hill against the visiting Los Angeles Angels, who rank among baseball’s top five in almost every major offensive category. Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani lead the way, of course, but outfielders Taylor Ward and Brandon Marsh are off to red-hot starts. Noah Syndergaard takesthe heat to a White Sox club that’s inexplicably lost nine of its last 10 games. In St. Louis, the Cardinals host the Arizona Diamondbacks, who are off to a better start than most expected, but at 8-12, they’re still in last place in the NL West. 40-year-old Adam Wainwright starts for the Cards, and Jen’s sticking with his steady hand against a D-backs team that’s batting (gulp) .178 on the season. They finish in Oakland, where the embattled A’s find themselves at a respectable 10-9, and Frankie Montas has the pitching edge against the visiting Guardians, but with Jose Ramirez obliterating opposing pitching, and the possible return of rookie sensation Steven Kwan from a hamstring injury, the Guardians have at least a puncher’s chance. Take a quick trip around the baseball betting and DFS world with Shawn and Jen on "Sticks & Stacks!"
