Greinke's having a great year, looking very much like the pitcher he was a few season's ago during his Cy Young run. He's striking out close to ten batters per nine and his 2.65 xFIP is right in line with his minuscule ERA. He's a heavy favorite against the Mets today who rank 27th in the league against righty pitching. They strike out more than 20% of the time against righties and are just generally bad. Greinke will be a popular cash game play across the industry and it's tough to find many reasons to fade him. Danny Salazar - FD 7000 DK 7200 DD 13700 DFSTR 6400 If you enjoy playing with fire, then consider your pyromaniac ways with this guy. What's to like? Salazar has big time strike out stuff and can rack them up real quick. He K's more than 9.5 batters per nine and can look awesome for short stretches. The operative word there is "short". He'll be facing a squad in the Astros that strike out the second most in the league against righties at an insane 23.1% clip. The problem with Salazar is consistency. He will look awesome and then "that inning" happens and the wheels come completely off. You saw what Carrasco did to the Astros yesterday so the upside is there for Salazar, but it's so risky.   Catchers Miguel Montero - FD 2400 DK 3400 DD 8200 DFSTR 3000 Went yard last night (one of our picks, so phew) and is in another solid spot today against Cashner. Cashner is better than Despaigne by a wide margin, but he isn't an elite pitcher. I tend to think he's a bit overrated. Chase Field favors lefty power and Montero can really only be considered when facing righties. But his numbers in that split are strong and the DBacks running a little light in hitting, he's stuck in the middle of the order. Liking his prices all around. Derek Norris - FD...

I'm going to go safe as possible in cash games with Zimmermann. His peripherals this season have been outstanding with around a 5.5:1 K:BB ratio that keeps him around in games late. He's gone into the seventh in his last five starts and today faces a Giants squad coming in the bottom half of the league in team wOBA against righties. I wouldn't consider Zimmermann a sure thing, but his control has him in ballgames and the Nats are favorite today for the win (though not huge ones). Hiroki Kuroda - FD 6900 DK 7400 DD 12850 DFSTR 5200 It feels real gross, but he's the favorite to get the win with Scott Carroll on the bump for the White Sox. He's not going to light the world on fire, but at his prices it doesn't seem like he'd completely sink the ship either. The White Sox are a decent hitting team, but they're prone to K as they go down on strikes 22% of the time against righties. There's risk here for sure, but on a slate of garbage arms I'll take the guy with the control and hope for the best. Consider Tim Lincecum if you want to shoot K's, though he could get bombed.   Catchers Brian McCann - FD 2900 DK 3800 DD 7950 DFSTR 7500 Going to be picking on Scott Carroll a lot in this early slate. Why? Because he's garbage, that's why. He strikes out less than five batters per nine and walks close to four. McCann's season's been pretty forgettable, but a .216 Babip will do that to most anyone. Luck hasn't been on his side this season, but it's hard to avoid him in this early slate of games considering the prices, park and matchup. Consider going even cheaper with Alex Avila   First Basemen Mark Teixeira - FD 2800 DK 3900 DD 8850 DFSTR 3900 Like I said, let's get all over Scott...

You'll like it as much as we do.   Total Bases Giancarlo Stanton No surprise here really. Stanton's having an incredible season posting a .970 OPS and that .267 ISO remains one of the elite numbers in the whole game. One of the big breakthroughs for him this year is his success against righty pitching as his 153 wRC+ and .395 wOBA show a dude seeing things pretty well in that side of the split. He's playing in Coors which as we all know has paper thin air and allows balls to travel out with alarming regularity. Don't like him as much as yesterday, but he's still the total bases favorite in the evening slate. Marcel Ozuna Digging a little deeper here. Of would have been had he not put on a show last night in Coors. He won some folks (us) some cash for sure as his eighth inning grand slam really sealed the deal. I'm will to buy him for total bases again even on the wrong side of his split because the ballpark just boosts everything everywhere. Jordan Lyles isn't as trashy as Franklin Morales, and does generate some groundballs. But overall this is a good place to keep targeting Coors.   Hits Ben Revere Very quietly Ben Revere has amasses one million hits this season. He's among the league leaders in the category thanks to a low K rate and and even lower walk rate. This guy hates free things and walks only 2% of his at bats. You won't see many hitters with a number that low. His contact rate and speed is in play here against Shelby Miller who's been a little bit of trash this season. He can't strike anyone out and really struggles...

I think the writing is on the wall – these guys are throwing in the towel this season. With a 20.8% strikeout rate (that makes them the 12th easiest team in the majors to strike out) and a pathetic .305 wOBA that’s 2nd worst in the AL, I think Felix goes deep and racks up a very nice number of Ks tonight. Joe Kelly also gives the Ms a nice chance for a win. Nice play all around. Adam Wainwright - FD 9700 DK 9700 DD 19900 DFSTR 6300 The Phillies are like a worse version of the Red Sox – but Wainwright isn’t quite the pitcher Felix is. The Phillies have a worse wOBA (.296!) than the Sox, and strike out more as well. All systems are go for a very nice Wainwright performance. Kyle Kendrick is pretty horrendous in his own right, so Wainwright is also in position for a win. Mat Latos - FD 7800 DK 8700 DD 15250 DFSTR 6500 There's some risk here of course, but he's a slight favorite against the Braves who rank 26th in the league against righty pitching. Atlanta strikes out more than 22% of the time and just generally struggles in this platoon split. Again, Great American Ballpark is a bit bandbox-y, but Latos has gone at least seven innings in three of his last four starts. Mike Minor - FD 6800 DK 6900 DD 12500 DFSTR 4600 On the other side of the ball? mound? field? is Minor who finally started putting it together last game against Oakland. His xFIP is still one and a half runs lower than his ERA. He's striking out more than eight batters per nine and keeping the walks relatively low. This is more your upside GPP play considering the prices. Also considered: Yovani Gallardo, Sonny Gray   Catchers Miguel Montero - FD 2400 DK 3400 DD 8200 DFSTR 3000 The price has gotten stupid on Montero,...

You'll like it as much as we do.   Total Bases Giancarlo Stanton When I sorted our projections for total bases, my eyes started to bleed. Stanton's number is literally the highest I've ever seen anyone's number be. Really, it's the perfect storm. You know by now how great a place to hit Coors Field is. But have you checked in on the season lefty Franklin Morales is having? In 112 innings, dude has 76 Ks and 52 BBs. That's just terrible. I'm going to go ahead and call this the very biggest mismatch we've seen this season. Play Stanton in the top slot. Don't consider anything else. Alex Gordon Not your classic total bases play, but I think the case for Gordon is very strong. He's been tearing it up recently, flexing home run power, and he's got a terrific match up. The right handed Colby Lewis has only managed 33.3% ground balls this year, and leaving balls in the air in Texas is a recipe for disaster. The Royals will build upon Lewis' lost season, and Gordon will be right at the center of it.   Hits Melky Cabrera Jose Reyes The Melk-man is batting .314 this year with a .331 BABIP. What this means is that if he gets the ball in play, he has a great chance to get a hit. Reyes is pretty much the same thing, but a little bit worse. Smyly is a decent pitcher, but lefties have a tough time striking out Melky and Reyes, and they are my top hits plays by far today.   Strikeouts Felix Hernandez Our projection system is a lot more bullish on the Red Sox than I am. I think the writing is on the wall -...
