Total Bases

Justin Morneau
Chris Dickerson
For the total bases category I think these two guys are the top picks by a mile. They've both raked righty pitching in Coors this season and have just crushed this platoon split over the course of the season. Today they face Roberto Hernandez who doesn't strike anyone out and gets lit up by lefty bats. The Rockies could put up some significant runs in this affair and I like both Morneau and Dickerson's chances at hitting multiple bases either through one swing of the bat, or just by higher than average opportunity. Either way, I don't think it pays to fade Coors today.

Hits

Robinson Cano

I'm mostly buying him here based on his successes against righties this season and his contact rates in that split. Matt Shoemaker has been a good arm for sure, but Cano's contact-fueled .900 OPS against righties just makes him so safe on a game-to-game basis. Again, the matchup isn't ideal, but I think the bat outweighs the arm in this one.

Strikeouts

Stephen Strasburg
The Braves are one of the worst teams in baseball hitting against righty pitching. And though they've had success against Strasburg this season, I think you should let your competitors let that fact talk them off the best pitching option today. Strasburg's peripherals have been awesome this year and his xFIP is running almost a whole run lower than his ERA. He strikes out a ton of batters and the Brave go down swinging more than 22% of the time against righties.

Max Scherzer
Considering his skill set I'm surprised how little our system like Scherzer today. Part of the reason my be the Twins' success against righties, though they do go down on strikes 21% of the time in the righty split. Scherzer can be hit or miss, but he still K's more than 10 batters per nine and should be able to hit the 6-7 slots fairly easily.
