Keiv June 
Saturday is one of the best days to play Fantasy Baseball, specifically, the main slate. Today, we will focus on that main slate. Here are your Saturday BEAST plays from Muntradamus!
FIRST BASE – JOSE ABREU ($3900 on DraftKings)vs. RYAN CARPENTER
Abreu was on this listfor Friday’s Slate, and he hit a HR. He will make the cut again for thisSaturday Night showdown. There are probably 30-plus MLB Teams that would notconsider Ryan Carpenter a Major League quality pitcher, but unfortunately forthe Tigers, they have to throw him out there to the Sox. The White Sox offense ishitting the ball hard, and Jose Abreu will continue to smack his line drivesall around the field.
FIRST BASE – ANTHONY RIZZO ($4100) @ ZACKGODLEY
Rizzo is still notreally showing the 40-plus HR potential that he has flashed in his career, buta matchup against Godley does look good on paper. Godley is not getting thesame movement on his pitches from years past, and Rizzo is always ready forthose mistake pitches in the zone. The price tag at $4100 for a guy hittingnear .200 does not sound appealing, but the upside is there and Daily FantasyBaseball is a one day season.
SECOND BASE – ROBINSON CANO ($3800) vs.BRANDON WOODRUFF
For the record, I feelRobinson Cano is too expensive. At $3800 you better get your stats, but Canodoes not guarantee that, as he is surrounded by a bunch of players that are nothitting the ball. However, if Cano does get the right circumstances, likerunners in scoring position, then he will deliver a strong fantasy performance.Cano only has three HRs on the season, but Woodruff is the type of pitcher whowill not be able to get around the living legend.
SECOND BASE – ROUGNED ODOR ($2600) @ MIKELEAKE
Odor is back, andwhile it is hard to judge him on one bad game since his return off the DL, itis important to remember every day is a new day. Mike Leake does not match upwell against Odor, who does not really have any pitches to get by his uppercut.The price is good enough to take the risk and hope for the best results.
SHORTSTOP – TIM ANDERSON ($4200) vs. RYANCARPENTER
Tim Anderson is moreexpensive than anyone could have ever imagined, but he is hitting over .400 onthe season and has a matchup against one the weakest lefty starting pitchers inthe game right now. Anderson is also coming off of a walk off HR against theTigers on Friday, and you can guarantee he will take that momentum with him onSaturday. With the rest of the White Sox crew hitting the ball better than theyhave been hitting it all season, throw Tim Anderson in your lineup.
THIRD BASE – YOAN MONCADA ($3900) vs. RYANCARPENTER
Moncada is hittingabove .320, he is on fire coming off of a three hit game, and he is facing apitcher that does not belong in the Major Leagues. When you add it alltogether, you will see that Moncada is ready to continue his raking against theTigers with plenty of RBI opportunities all game long.
OUTFIELD – MIKE TROUT ($5000) @ JORGE LOPEZ
You definitely need topay up for Trout if you are going to include him on your squad. But a commonrule to folllow in Daily Fantasy Baseball is if Trout is facing a pitcher thatyou do not really respect, chances are you should get him on your team..Everyone in K.C. is at the ballpark to see what the legend can do, might aswell have him on your squad since everyone is expecting the best.
OUTFIELD – KOLE CALHOUN ($3400) @ JORGE LOPEZ
Calhoun is one of thehotter OF options in Fantasy Baseball with HRs in three straight games,including two HRs last week. Going up against Jorge Lopez, a pitcher who doesnot have dangerous stuff by any means, expect him to continue to rip the ballall over the field. Despite how well Calhoun is hitting the ball, he is only batting.200 for the season, but Lopez should not be a pitcher you need to worry about.Start Calhoun, get at least a few runs in the process.
OUTFIELD – NOMAR MAZARA ($3300) @ MIKE LEAKE
Mazara had a verystart to the season, but his recent hot streak of three HRs in his last twogames to bring his total to five should be the perfect reminder that we arestill very young in the Fantasy Baseball season. Leake is not a scary pitcherto go against, and Mazara has the perfect swing going to take any fastball downthe middle into the seats.
FAVORITE STACKS
CHICAGO WHITE SOX
The White Sox stacklooks great on paper, and it should be great in real life as well. RyanCarpenter is only forced to make this appearance because he is on a horribleteam that is not deep enough in their farm system to avoid it. Carpenter does nothave the pitches to blow by any hitter, and on the road you can expect a lot oftrouble.
TEXAS RANGERS
While the Rangers areon the road, Mike Leake does not pose much of a threat no matter what ballparkhe is in. Leake does not have the junk to fool any hitter, nor the speed toblow by any batter. The Rangers may have had a rough season up to this point,but a game against Leake where he is missing his targets can lead to the floodgatesopening.
LOS ANGELES ANGELS
Angels have yet toreally get it going, but they have been productive as of late, even beatingTanaka and the Yankees a couple days ago. Jorge Lopez is not really what youwould call a great MLB pitcher, and the Angels have enough hot bats to make animpact in this game.
