Total Bases

Edwin Encarnacion
Encarnacion has been in beast mode when he's been healthy this season, and popped another homer last night. Tonight he'll get to feast at Cafe Capuano. While Capuano is having a fine season by his standards, he is basically a league average pitcher at his absolute best. Encarnacion has a wOBA that's .23 points higher against lefties, and hitting in Yankee Stadium is a delightful place for anyone to hit.

Justin Morneau
Morneau has utterly slammed right handed pitching this year, and now he gets to take on Trevor Cahill and his 5.38 ERA in Coors Field. I'm making that motion where you place all your fingers on your lips and make the kissing noise while exploding your fingers outward.

Hits

Erick Aybar
Mike Trout
With just 15% total strikeouts + walks and a .300 BABIP when balls to get in play, Aybar makes for a great play against the fully declined (and nearly dead) Colby Lewis. Mike Trout, who plays center field for the team, is a pretty good hitter in his own right. If you don't take Trout for total bases, he makes a great hits play as well.

Strikeouts

Max Scherzer
Ugh, it's really weird to start Scherzer against the team that strikes out the least in the major leagues, but with 237 Ks in 201 IP this year, Scherzer is in a league of his among guys going today. It's hard to imagine punching him in for 9 Ks, but I think he's a great bet for 7.

Jordan Zimmermann
It's a weird day for strike outs. Zimmermann gets the nod here ahead of other guys with a higher K/9 than he has because of the match up. The Marlins strike out with the 3rd highest frequency of any team in the majors, and if Zimmermann pitches deep into this one, he could put up some numbers.
