Total Bases

Jose Abreu
I know the dude has run great on Hr/FB% for his his "rookie" season but even accounting for that unsustainable number he still rates out pretty great against lefty pitching. As long as he's facing Darnell in a great hitter's park like U.S. Cellular there aren't many other players who you can expect to cover your total bases top spot in one swing.

Matt Holliday
Holliday's spent the better part of this season tuning up lefty pitching with an OPS over .900 and a general disregard for these helpless southpaws. Jorge de la Rosa may just be another notch in his belt today. The latter can't get righties out with any consistency and Holliday isn't showing those signs of aging we were worried about early season.

Hits

Andrew McCutchen
I wish the ballpark was just a little better and PNC Park isn't exactly a power haven. That being said, McCutchen crushes lefty pitching this season and for his career. He's rocking a .911 OPS and that's with a .257 Babip on the lefty platoon. Meaning he kills guys like Felix Doubront. I'm buying all day on this guy.

Yadier Molina
I see this as kind of a sneaky play along the margins that can get you a little separation. That idea is important in a format like ScoreStreak where the final scores can bunch together. Molina has a solid contact rate against lefties and doesn't walk much. I like his chances of getting the bat on the ball against de la Rosa and would definitely pair him together with Holliday.

Strikeouts

Felix Hernandez
I wouldn't go any higher than seven strikeouts for King Felix today and even that seems a little like pushing it for me. I just don't think the upside is there for him against the A's. Oakland strikes out less than 18% of the time against righties. That being said, there are so very few options in any slate to grab K's. Felix is definitely the best pitcher going and should be somewhere in your set. Just don't shoot too high.

Jeff Locke
Now before you outright dismiss this pick recognize that that the Cubs strikes out more than 25% of the time against lefty pitching. That's a crazy high number that make almost every pitcher against them in play. Locke is by no means a strike out pitcher, but against the Cubs anything is possible.
