Matt Wallner

Guy Boston suggests fading Matt Wallner, specifically targeting under 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs or under 0.5 runs. His reasoning centers on Hunter Brown's fastball-heavy pitch mix, noting Wallner's weighted on-base average drops significantly against fastballs and sinkers. Although Wallner can handle cutters, Brown rarely relies on that pitch. This pitching matchup, combined with the projected low-scoring environment, leads Guy Boston to anticipate struggles for Wallner, making the unders appealing betting options.

Chris Morgan labeled Matt Wallner a top DFS stacking option given his significant power against right-handed pitching (.557 SLG since 2023). Morgan broke down the matchup, highlighting Cardinals pitcher Andre Pallante's clear issues transitioning back to the rotation (3.78 ERA, 1.96 K/BB ratio) and noted that right-handers hit Pallante at a .296 clip. Morgan emphasized Wallner's left-handed power as particularly advantageous, making him ideally positioned to capitalize against Pallante's vulnerabilities in today's contest.
