Catcher  

Gary Sanchez, TOR vs. NYY

DK ($5,600)   FD ($4,400) 

Well you are going to have to pay up for to “unleash the Kraken” today but it is difficult to argue that it won’t be worth it. The whole Yankee lineup is in play as the face a bad left-handed starter in Clayton Richard. For the season, Richard has given up five HRs in 25.1 innings with 29 hits and 21 earned runs allowed. Do me a favor please: if you are going to the Bronx to watch baseball tonight and have seats in the left-field bleachers, bring a glove.  

First Base  

Edwin Encarncion/Luke Voit, TOR at NYY

DK ($5,200)   FD ($4,000)  and DK ($4,800) ($3,700)

As you may or may not know, I am a die-hard Red Sox fan. I was born and raised (and lived the first 33 years of my life) in a small central Massachusetts town. One of the most memorable nights of my life was a certain October evening in 2004. Why am I saying this? Because I have to hand it to the Yankees. This lineup they have assembled maybe the best of recent MLB history. So deep and powerful, especially against lefties. So, it is tough to pick just one of this duo tonight against Clayton Richard.

Second Base  

Hanser Alberto, SD at BAL

DK ($3,400)   FD ($2,500) 

We are going to need to get some savings so why not get a guy who will likely be batting leadoff in an extreme hitter’s park? Against lefties, and the Padres are throwing out a southpaw in rookie Logan Allen, Alberto has been incredible. 41 hits in only 101 official ABs, that is over .400 folks!!, with 11 runs scored, 11 RBI and two stolen bases. Pair him with another Oriole like Mancini or Nunez and pocket the savings.

Third Base 

Renato Nunez, SD at BAL

DK ($3,700)   FD ($2,600) 

This is strange as Nunez is listed as a first baseman on DK. Having him with third baseman eligibility like he has on FD would have been very nice! Anyways, this guy is a lefty masher in 2019. He has eight HRs in exactly 100 official ABs against lefties this season. He will most likely be slotted into the cleanup spot. Did I mention that Oriole Park at Camden Yards is an extreme hitter’s park?

Shortstop 

Manny Machado/Fernando Tatis Jr., SD at BAL

DK ($5,500)   FD ($3,900)  DK($5,700) FD($3,800)

Let us stay in the comfy confines of Camden Yards. The Orioles pitching staff is historically bad, giving up by far the most HRs in all of MLB this year. Again, position eligibility weirdness caused me to both of these Padre righties in this column. On DK, both of these players are eligible at SS. On FD, Machado is a third baseman. In either case, these players are in smash spots today, with the Orioles planning to use Jimmy Yacobonis (who has a 4.70 ERA and 1.44 WHIP on the season) and then possibly going with lefty bullpen arm Josh Rodgers (8.25 ERA and 1.50 WHIP) as the primary pitcher. I do not know about you, but to me this sounds like a potential disaster for Baltimore.

Outfield 

Ronald Acuna Jr, ATL at CHC 

DK ($5,000)   FD ($4,200) 

Acuna’s price went down by $100 on FD while going up by $200 on DK. What is the icons to give me a shrugging shoulders? Wrigley Field, though mildly disappointing last night, will see similar weather with a nice breeze blowing out to right. This should give lefty bats and right-handed bats with opposite field power a boost. The latter description screams Javier Baez but in reality Acuna Jr. should not be far behind when it comes to that.

Giancarlo Stanton, TOR at NYY

DK ($4,600)   FD ($4,200) 

Stanton hit his first HR of 2019 last night. With all this mashing that the Yankees have done this season, let that sink in. If Judge and Stanton get it going…watch out. Anyways, Stanton against a struggling lefty, yes please.  

Aaron Judge, TOR at NYY

DK ($4,700)   FD ($4,300) 

Stanton hit his first HR last night….Judge gets his first one since returning from injury tonight.

Monkey Knife Fight Picks of the Day

Let’s go for broke tonight and a big prize. I like two, if not all three, players to hit a HR tonight.
