I will spend the $5900 for JavierBaez tonight. His high price and a Caleb Smith matchup may steer a lot ofpeople away, but he is hitting .455 with five homers in 22 at-bats againstLHPs.
Ronald Acuna Jr. has a seemingly challengingmatchup vs. Hyun-Jin Ryu, but I like him at $4300 considering he is hitting.310 with six home runs against LHPs.
Starling Marte is worth a lineupspot against Adrian Sampson. Spend the $4900 since he is not facing a LHP,which he is hitting .045 against. Make sure you check if teammate BrianReynolds ($3900) is in the lineup. He is sharing time with Melky Cabrera, butif he is in there, he is hitting .375 with four XHBs against righties. Reynoldshas played well since being called up and this is a tasty matchup forPittsburgh. Cabrera is the same price if he plays over Reynolds.
I will be getting some Reds batsin my lineups against Mike Fiers. Derek Dietrich ($4500) has four home runs andeight RBI in the last week. If recent callup Josh VanMeter ($2600) gets in thelineup I will opt for him as a punt play. He was raking in the minors.
Make sure you pluck some Rangersagainst Stephen Brault. Elvis Andrus is $5000 and is hitting .423 vs. LHPs. Iam locking in Nomar Mazara at $4400. He is averaging 9.5 FFPG on the road onDK, compared to 7.2 at home.
Some Cheap Plays:Chris Davis ($3100) vs, Hector Velasquez, Jackie Bradley Jr. ($3200 vs. DavidHess), Tucker Barnhart as a punt ($3000) vs. Fiers.
Mound Visit:Avoid Aaron Nola against the Cards, fourth in the Majors vs, RHPs. Fade MaxFried against the N.L.’s best offense. Collin McHugh ($8200) gets KC at home,and will get the run support vs. Danny Duffy for a win while also capablyproviding other quality numbers.
