If you're interested, here are today's daily picks: Check em out.   Pitchers Stephen Strasburg - FD 6700 DK 7800 DD 11850 SS 19900 The Rockies are a tough team to evaluate. At home, they are obviously world beaters because of the ballpark. But you put this squad on the road and all of a sudden they drop down to 22nd in the league in team OPS with a 22% strike out rate. That’s a huge dip that points starkly to Mile High bolstering the overall numbers. We know this of course about the park but I just wanted to point out that the Rockies can be targeted when on the road. Liriano is just such an opportunity if you are chasing cheap upside.   Catchers Brian McCann - FD 2800 DK 3700 DD 7200 SS 5000 Might as well start off the second half right we left off in the first half. By recommending McCann. This has to be the guy I’ve written the most about this season. I feel like I know the guy personally. Or at least his struggles. Dude’s Babip remains low as does the HR/FB%. I’m expecting a big second half from the guy and what a great way to start but against Mike Leake, a guy susceptible to the home run, playing in Yankee Stadium. Let’s go Brian. I have faith my brother. Miguel Montero - FD 3000 DK 3900 DD 8250 SS 6500 He’s having a solid season against righties (he is horrific against lefties) with an .864 OPS and 136 wRC+. Montero is buoyed by the ballpark in Chase Field that’s among the best hitter’s homes in all of baseball. Edwin Jackson has strikeout potential but he also can get absolutely shelled on the right night. This is a tough spot for the guy in this ballpark where the margins are super thin. Wilin Rosario - FD 3300 DK 4200 DD 7800 SS 6600 I’d like it so much better if the game were at home obviously. But we can consider Rosario...

You'll like it as much as we do.   Total Bases MigueL Cabrera Anthony Rizzo On a day when the aces are out in full force, our options for total bases aren't great. Miggy draws one of the best match-ups in the day in Bauer, and even though he'd prefer a lefty, he can still do a lot of damage against a guy who is as mistake prone as the Cleveland righty. One promising start from Bauer does not a season make, and this could be a long one for him. Rizzo makes an intriguing play today because of his opposition as well. Cahill has been pretty much horrendous this year, with 45 Ks against 24 BBs in 41 IP and an ERA in the 5s. A great lefty/righty spot for Rizzo as well.   Hits Andrew McCutchen Jose Altuve McCutchen gets the one true dream spot of the day, and you can make a case for him in total bases or hits. Even away from Colorado, De La Rosa has been a mess this year. 73 Ks and 45 BBs in 104 IP can't all be Colorado's fault. McCutchen is one of the very best hitters in the game against left handed pitching already, so De La Rosa's lack of skill will only make it easier on him. Altuve, our other play today, is another no brainer. He's batting over .400 against lefties this year, and he never walks. Quintana has been fine this year, but Altuve is just a hit machine against southpaws.   Strike Outs Yu Darvish What do you need to say about taking Darvish first overall? The match-up kind of sucks here, but Darvish is a man among boys in the strike out department. Really, the match-up is...

You'll like it as much as we do.   Total Bases Troy Tulowitzki Mike Trout Tulo seems to be atop our total base projections every single day when he's hitting at home, and the system likes him today for good reason. Hughes is a fly ball pitcher who relies on good breaking stuff, and Coors Field is less than kind to pitchers with either of those attributes, much less both. Trout is simply a young Adonis who can hit anyone, who now has the opportunity to face the pitch-to-contact Scott Baker. 32 Ks and 9 walks in 54 innings means Baker is going to allow guys to put balls in play, which makes Trout a must start at either the top of the hits or total bases categories.   Hits David Wright Ian Kinsler On the surface, these look like two pretty similar plays. Right handed hitters who crush left handed pitching with the opportunity to face a pretty poor left hander. Ian Kinsler has the more attractive year to date performance, but Wright has a bit going for him as well. Brad Hand is a considerably worse pitcher than Bruce Chen (somehow!), and Wright has actually amassed a batting average over .400 against left handers this year - it's those pesky righties that have been giving him fits. All in all, both of these guys will top my list in the hits category and I won't lose a bit of sleep over it.   Strike Outs Francisco Liriano It's tough to match the strikeout upside of Liriano, who Ks more than a guy per inning and has the opportunity to face the Reds, who trot out guys that are hopeless against left handed pitching like Billy Hamilton and Jay Bruce. I'm not...

If you're interested, here are today's daily picks: Check em out.   Pitchers Stephen Strasburg FanDuel 8900 DraftKings 10700 DraftStreet 21003 I know he's better at home than on the road and Philadelphia isn't a place pitchers dream about pitching in. But the Phillies are second to last in the league against righty pitching with .288 team wOBA while striking out 21% of the time. Strasburg is in the midst of a Cy Young level season with a little run bad in the Babip. His xFIP is in the mid 2's with a crazy 6:1 K:BB ratio. That he's priced noticeably less than Price and Wainwright is fantastic news. He can be started in all formats. Great play. Jesse Chavez FanDuel 7500 DraftKings 8200 DraftStreet 16569 The Mariners are a middle of the pack team against righties and this game going down in Safeco makes it all the better. Chavez has been a nice, somewhat out of nowhere, addition to the A's staff. He's got solid strikeout stuff, putting down almost a batter an inning. The xFIP is about a half run higher than the ERA so don't get overly fooled here, but he's still a solid option on the mound today. Collin McHugh FanDuel 6900 DraftKings 7900 DraftStreet 14817 Speaking of sort of coming out of nowhere (That's a lot of "of's" in one sentence) we get McHugh who's been striking out guys like he's very much interested in staying in the majors. His 10.18 K/9 is a revelation and he faces the Red Sox, a team ranking in the bottom third of the league in team wOBA against righties. I think this will be a low percentage start today with high upside. That's the perfect scenario for a GPP where you can get some decent separation. Note: McHugh was placed on the DL this AM Mike Minor FanDuel 7100 DraftKings 8000 DraftStreet 16797 Very risky but I think you can pull the trigger if you are looking for some upside. Minor's xFIP is nearly a full run better than...
