Total Bases

Edwin Encarnacion
Jose Bautista
There are a few good options to choose from in the total bases category, but I'm going a pair of teammates. They each absolutely destroy lefty pitching and though Wei-Yin Chen isn't necessarily a pushover, dude does give it up to righties from time to time. The ballpark is a big plus considering the Rogers Centre is among the premiere hitter's parks in all of baseball. And JoeyBats and E5 take it to this side of the split over their careers. I'm all over playing these guys in this spot because for power hitters they have relatively low K rates meaning much of their production comes from blasting balls out of the ballpark.

Hits

Victor Martinez
Been writing about him in this slot most of the season. And with good reason. His contact rates are about as good as it gets from anyone and though he lacks speed, the hits come around simply because he is such a tough out. Doesn't love to walk either, meaning the ball is in play at a high rate. When targeting hits, that's the main focus. Contact. Contact. Contact. He should be making it today against a low K guy like Nolasco.

Buster Posey
Double check that he's in the lineup today after sitting out yesterday. But if he's there, lock him into a slot for hits against Eric Stults. Stults is real bad, ranking near the bottom of the league in pitcher WAR. That's because he sucks. Posey strikes out less than ten percent of the time against lefties and walks less than eight percent. That leaves a lot in the way of getting the ball in play which should be the case against a garbage arm.

Strikeouts

Stephen Strasburg
The top K guy on the day and it isn't even close. He faces a Marlins team that goes down on strikes more than 23% of the time against right-handed pitching. And though Stras has been somewhat maligned over the course of the year, he's ending on a strong note. I'm rooting for the guy because he was running super had over a stretch this season I thought got a lot of unwarranted flak. I think he creeps close to nine K's today if there are no pitch limitations (which there may be).

Francisco Liriano
He's the other guy I want in the K slot and he faces an opponent that just throws loser lineup after loser lineup other there every night. The Reds have been brutal and rank pretty darn close to the bottom of the league against lefties. If the season had like two more weeks in it they'd probably make a play for the bottom. Liriano can rack up K's quickly and if he keeps the walk in check could shoot for the 9K mark.
