If the Houston lineup was not depleted by injuries, theywould be the obvious stack against Wade LeBlanc. But if you can also considerthe Dodgers lineup against Robbie Ray. The Diamondbacks starter has not beenterrible this season, and he is 2-0 with a 3.32 ERA at home. But the Dodgersare the best lineup on the slate tonight and they are second-best in the leagueagainst LHPs with 99 runs scored.
Don’t worry about platoon splits with Alex Verdugo at $3900 onDraftKings as he is hitting .354 with six RBI and seven runs scored vs. lefties.Consider spending up for Cody Bellinger at 5800, as he is hitting .333 withseven homers, 20 RBI and 15 runs scored vs. lefties. Kike Hernandez (3900) has15 RBI and 12 runs scored vs. lefties. You can also use catcher Will Smith tosave some salary at a cool 2700.
Of course, you can also opt to attack LeBlanc instead sinceRay is clearly the better pitcher. LeBlanc has an 8.31 home ERA and has allowedsix of eight home runs in Seattle so far, where he has four of his six starts.Derek Fisher (4,000) already has five hits in nine ABs vs. lefties since he wasrecently called up so go lefty on lefty there. Jake Marisnick (4,100) ishitting .463 with nine runs scored vs. LHPs but he is likely to hit lower inthe lineup. Josh Reddick (3,900) is at .375 vs. lefties and Michael Brantley (4,600)is at .333 with 11 RBI against them, and both can be used even though they areLHBs. Alex Bregman is at 4,900.
