Total Bases

Mike Trout
OOooooooh! The world's best hitter against someone named "Lisalverto Bonilla!!" Honestly, I don't need to know anything about the guy to recommend Trout without hesitation here. If he makes a mistake around the plate, and he should make more than one, Trout will be all over it.

Michael Cuddyer
Doug wrote this yesterday:

Coors? Check. Crappy lefty on the mound in Vidal Nuno who gets raked by righty bats? Yup. Great platoon splits for Cuddyer against lefties? You got it. In love? I dare say that I am. Cuddyer has a small sample size of utter dominance against lefties this season and has been much better against them for his career. I've got him going in all formats today and total bases will be one of them.

Here's what's changaed - Chase Anderson is actually a legitimate pitcher. But Cuddyer has been serviceable against righties as well, and again, dude - Coors! Coors!

Hits

Robinson Cano
It feels like we've given you Cano every time he's faced a righty this season. And frankly, it's paid off for you. Cano has devastated right handed pitchers this season - and on this lovely night he happens to face one of the worst of them. Brad Peacock has racked up a startling 64 BBs in his 123 innings pitched this year. And what I love about Cano here is that he couldn't care less about walking. That means that if Peacock is anywhere near the plate, we'll have a chance to see a little Cano laser show.

Adrian Beltre
Speaking of guys who can crush opposite handed pitchers, oh, gypsy. Beltre is batting a clean .350 this season against left handed pitching. Hector Santiago has gotten plenty lucky with his ERA this year, and his 103 Ks against 50 walks speak more to his inability to control the ball around the zone.

Strikeouts

Jon LesterLester has a K per inning this season, and Philly strikes out with the 11th highest frequency in the majors. What you love about Lester in taking him in the top spot is his ability to pitch deep in games. It's just awfully tough to strike out 9 guys in 6 innings, or whatever. Philly is also one of the 5 worst offenses in the league in terms of wOBA, and this bodes well for a nice deep run for Lester tonight.

Zack Wheeler
I like Wheeler in the 2nd slot tonight for a couple of reasons. First, he is another K per inning guy. Second, he's facing the Braves, who have struck out the 3rd most frequently of any team in the majors. He doesn't need to pitch deep to amass 7 Ks, but it doesn't hurt that the Braves are also considerably worse against right handed pitching.
