Total Bases

Miguel Cabrera
Mike Trout
Going very much the chalk line here with total bases. That's fine in a situation like ScoreStreak in which they've eliminated the salary constraints. It doesn't always mean we should just throw these guys out there on a given day just because of their names. But today it makes sense with them facing Kevin Gausman and Hector Noesi respectively. Both pitchers are lower K guys with mid 4's xFIPs. Cabrera and Trout don't need to be targeted in platoon split situations because they are Hall of Fame talents who still rake, rake, and rake some more. Like I said before, the chalk line in ScoreStreak can be a solid play on a given day and this is a great spot to utilize the lack of salaries.

Hits

Tigers or Yankees
I really never make blanket statements like this, but these two teams are all over the top of the list from our system and I'm having trouble delineating among their respective upsides. But guys like Ian Kinsler, Torii Hunter, Jacoby Ellsbury, Brett Gardner, and even Austin Jackson offer shots at multiple hits in their matchups. To make a case for one guy over another is tough considering their projections all fall in a similar range. If a gun were at my head (which one really is) I'd lean toward the Tigers only because Colby Lewis has a little more strikeout potential.

Strikeouts

Max Scherzer
David Price
Holy moly today's a tough day to play ScoreStreak. Typically our system does a nice job separating the clear plays on a given slate. It's not the case today. In each of the categories there are solid options and they all fall within a few decimals of each other for the respective outcomes. Strikeouts are no different with these two guys narrowly edging out King Felix, who I suppose you can include in the last spot. Picking the dude to hit nine K's though is tough. I don't see anyone as a clear favorite from that point of view. If I were to shoot the moon I think I'd go Price only because he limits the walks to such an insane degree that he can go long enough in games to meet his K potential.
