Our favorite splits-based stacks tonight are Giants (vs. Steven Matz), Indians (vs. Francisco Liriano) and Cubs (vs. Tyler Anderson), though the latter will be popular considering Chicago plays in Colorado. There are plenty of mediocre/struggling righthanded pitchers starting tonight, too, so there should be no shortage of offensive options.
