Here is a look at the Squad Up daily MLB fantasy picture for the nine-game slate beginning at 7:05 p.m. ET on Saturday, May 6:

Hitter Stacks

• Baltimore Orioles vs. Chicago White Sox (RHP Dylan Covey): Covey has allowed 17 earned runs (including five homers) in 21 innings, and he has more walks than strikeouts. The White Sox are ringing the dinner bell -- and the Orioles haven't eaten all day. Load up.

3-player stack: OF Adam Jones (59K), 1B Chris Davis (63K), SS J.J. Hardy (39K)

• Colorado Rockies vs. Arizona Diamondbacks (LHP Patrick Corbin): The Rockies have the fifth-ranked team weighted on-base average at home (.350) and the sixth-ranked wOBA vs. left-handed pitchers (.330). Diamondbacks LHP Patrick Corbin enters Coors Field with a career-high 32.7% fly-ball rate. He's in for a long day.

3-player stack: OF Charlie Blackmon (64K), 3B Nolan Arenado (70K), SS Trevor Story (56K)

• Cincinnati Reds vs. San Francisco Giants (LHP Ty Blach): Blach has now made two starts since transitioning from a bullpen role. He's allowed just two earned runs in 12 innings as a starter, but the numbers a bit misleading. Both starts came at pitcher-friendly AT&T Park, and one was against a Dodgers lineup that struggles with lefties. Expect the Reds -- at Great American Ballpark, no less -- to fare much better.

3-player stack: SS Zack Cozart (45K), 1B Joey Votto (66K), OF Adam Duvall (54K)

Pitcher Breakdown

• TARGET - RHP Dylan Bundy (64K), Orioles (vs. White Sox): Bundy has been lights out, posting a 1.82 ERA through six starts. A 5.7 K/9 is concerning, but he'll get some help in that department from a White Sox unit that has the fourth-highest K% (24.7%) in the majors and a league-worst .270 wOBA vs. RHPs.

• BARGAIN - RHP Matt Garza (43K), Brewers (at Pirates): Since joining the Brewers in 2014, Garza has amassed a 4.54 ERA and 4.23 FIP in 74 games. That same below-average FIP underscores his relatively hot 3.38 ERA start to 2017, but a game at PNC Park, a veritable pitcher's paradise, should help him limit the damage. If he can hold on for a quality start, that will be enough of a return on a meager investment.

• FADE - LHP Jordan Montgomery (44K), Yankees (at Cubs): Had Montgomery gotten just one more out in his major league debut back on April 12, he'd be entering the matchup on a four-game quality start streak. He K'd seven batters in five innings in his last start. He could be in for his first major-league shellacking in Chicago; the Cubs have a .352 wOBA vs. LHPs. There's a lot to like about the rookie -- just not on Saturday.

• CONTRARIAN - LHP Clayton Kershaw (140K), Dodgers (at Padres): Rostering Kershaw means spending just 40K per remaining players -- which can be done, but quality of the hitters will be suspect. It's an exaggeration to say Kershaw needs a perfect game to return value at this salary, but against a Padres lineup that ranks 28th with a .255 wOBA vs. LHPs, a complete game shutout is certainly possible.

Bargain Plays

• OF Cody Bellinger (31K), Dodgers (at Padres): It will be interesting to see what happens with Bellinger now that Joc Pederson is back off the DL, but can the Dodgers afford to keep him out of the lineup after the second multi-homer game of his 10-game career on Friday? He's hitting .342 with fours HRs, nine runs and nine RBIs. It doesn't matter where he hits in the lineup when he's this hot -- and this cheap.

• C Matt Wieters (40K), Nationals (at Phillies): Wieters is 20K less than Buster Posey (60K), despite outplaying him in terms of fantasy points per game on Squad Up. Though 61.8% of his PAs have come out of the eighth spot in the lineup -- and thus, right in front of the pitcher -- he's still able to drive in runs in the Nationals' potent lineup, and getting on base ahead of the top of the order bolsters his run-scoring outlook.

• 2B Kolten Wong (40K), Cardinals (at Braves): Wong led off in the Cardinals' previous game, collecting a hit, a walk and a run in six PAs. If the team is looking to switch up the order, they'll need more than one game to determine whether Wong could be their new leadoff man. Give him the benefit of the doubt against an inconsistent RHP Julio Teheran.

Top Fades

• OF Carlos Gonzalez (59K), Rockies (vs. Diamondbacks): Looking to assemble a Rockies stack, but want to save a bit of budget at the same time? Look to anyone but Gonzalez. The veteran slugger has been the least effective position player on the roster this season in terms of wOBA vs. LHPs (.210).

• 3B Manny Machado (68K), Orioles (vs. White Sox): Even with a gas-can like Covey on the mound, 68K is a tad rich for a player that is only hitting .213 off righties so far this season. At this price, Machado has to have a major game; given his current slump, he's more likely to be a rally killer than a rally starter.

• 1B Wil Myers (49K), Padres (vs. Dodgers): On one hand, Myers can be had at a nice discount from his usual salary because of a matchup with Clayton Kershaw. On the other hand: he has a matchup with Clayton Kershaw. The former Rookie of the Year is just 1-for-18 with eight strikeouts and no walks against the Dodgers' ace in his career. There's not even a contrarian angle to play here.

Contrarian Plays

• 1B Jose Abreu (57K), White Sox (at Orioles): As a whole, the White Sox lineup just can't hand with RHPs, but that doesn't mean a couple of individuals can't shine. Abreu ranks second among regulars with a .330 wOBA, and unlike Avisail Garcia (.380), Abreu's rates aren't aided greatly by batted ball luck. You can't trust anyone to get on base ahead of him, but he's strong enough to get himself home if he can smash a HR.

• SS Chris Owings (57K), Diamondbacks (at Rockies): Casual daily fantasy players will scoff at the idea that Owings, even at Coors Field, is priced competitively alongside stars like Trea Turner (60K), Daniel Murphy (57K) and Corey Seager (53K). Owings has five HRs, eight SBs and a .406 wOBA vs. LHPs this season. He's priced exactly where he should be, though the vast majority will likely overlook the breakout youngster.

• OF Aaron Judge (57K), Yankees (at Cubs): Judge has all the indicators of a candidate for swift regression: a .360 BABIP; a 52.4% pull rate; a 54.2% HR-to-fly-ball rate. Still, he's absolutely demolished LHPs with a 60% hard-contact rate. If it is was ever possible for a person to knock even half of their fly balls out of the park, it would be a 6-foot-7, 275-pound monster.
