Lefty Long Ball Target

Carlos Gonzalez FD 3500 DK 4300
Opponent - ATL (Foltynewicz) Park - @ATL
FD - 11.71 DK - 8.99

Who cares if this game isn't at Coors Field! Carlos Gonzalez has one of the prettiest swings in the game today and I'll be all over him. He will be going up against right-hander, Mike Foltynewicz. Don't know Mike? Let's just say lefties devour him every time he steps foot on that mound. They own a whooping .384 wOBA to go along with a .618 SLG this season. We all know the type of power Gonzalez has, so go ahead and roster him into your lineups tonight. You won't regret it!

Righty Long Ball Target

Ryan Braun FD 3700 DK 4800
Opponent - CIN (Young) Park - @CIN
FD - 11.1 DK - 8.91

My righty dong call of the day belongs to -- Ryan Braun. He will be going up against John Lamb today, which provides him with a beautiful matchup. On the year, righties own a .370 wOBA and have hit 10 homers against Lamb this season. They have done some damage against him, so what better person to roster on this Brewers' squad than, Mr.Braun. He owns a .243 ISO and .411 wOBA against southpaws this season, so watch out for the 32-year-old tonight. And playing at Great American (Small)Park will certainly help him out!

So yeah, baseball season! And we've got some goodies you can take with you. At the end of the post, we have our MLB eBook that you really ought to check out before setting even a single daily fantasy MLB lineup. It's free, below.
