I will spend the $5900 for Javier Baez tonight. His high price and a Caleb Smith matchup may steer a lot of people away, but he is hitting .455 with five homers in 22 at-bats against LHPs.
Ronald Acuna Jr. has a seemingly challenging matchup 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 lineup spot 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 Brian Reynolds ($3900) is in the lineup. He is sharing time with Melky Cabrera, but if he is in there, he is hitting .375 with four XHBs against righties. Reynolds has played well since being called up and this is a tasty matchup for Pittsburgh. Cabrera is the same price if he plays over Reynolds.
I will be getting some Reds bats in my lineups against Mike Fiers. Derek Dietrich ($4500) has four home runs and eight RBI in the last week. If recent callup Josh VanMeter ($2600) gets in the lineup I will opt for him as a punt play. He was raking in the minors.
Make sure you pluck some Rangers against Stephen Brault. Elvis Andrus is $5000 and is hitting .423 vs. LHPs. I am locking in Nomar Mazara at $4400. He is averaging 9.5 FFPG on the road on DK, compared to 7.2 at home.
Some Cheap Plays: Chris Davis ($3100) vs, Hector Velasquez, Jackie Bradley Jr. ($3200 vs. David Hess), Tucker Barnhart as a punt ($3000) vs. Fiers.
Mound Visit: Avoid Aaron Nola against the Cards, fourth in the Majors vs, RHPs. Fade Max Fried 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 capably providing other quality numbers.
Monkey Knife Fight Pick of the Day: Masahiro Tanaka’s over/under for strikeouts against Seattle is 6.5, No team in the Majors strikes out more than the Mariners (370). Get in with me today for MLB Player Prop Games and get 100 Percent Bonus.
Bonus: In the same game, Marco Gonzales’ Over/Under is 4.5 strikeouts. In half of his games so far, he has not gone above 4 Ks, and the Yankees are 21st in strikeouts, so I will take the under.
