Now go win that Tesla!   Total Bases Jose Bautista Edwin Encarnacion Jacob Turner crushed a little piece of my sould last time out when he shut down the Brewers. It was by far his best performance and kind of came out of nowhere. I don't like his chances of a repeat performance today against the Blue Jays. Both Bautista and Encarnacion hit righties really well. They have an .873 and .931 OPS on that side of the platoon split and the Rogers Center is one of the better hitter's parks in baseball. By and large Turner's been a below average pitcher this season with an xFIP close to four and strike out rate of only about six batters per nine. I think the Blue Jays get to him today and I'll take the two bats in the middle of the lineup for some extra bases.   Hits Robinson Cano Kyle Seager Brad Peacock is not a good pitcher. While he can get a strikeout or two, he also walks the building and has an xFIP in the mid 4's. The walks are the only concern for me when recommending Seager and Cano today. It's not that I don't think they will have solid days. It's just that when I'm looking for hits specifically, it makes me a little worried playing guys against a wild pitcher. That being said, both Seager and Cano hit righty pitching so well that I think you can run them out there today either in hits or extra bases. Both OPS in the high .800's on this side of the split and have been among the qualified leaders in that platoon this season. Like I said, they could end up walking more times than would be ideal in this prop category. But I'm going to run them nonetheless.   Strikeouts Felix Hernandez This first one is easy with King Felix facing the Astros today in Safeco. Houston comes in the lower third of...

Hamels gets dinged because he has to go up against Gio (so the win is considerably more iffy than the top two guys), but if you want to go a little bit against the grain - there's a nice case here. The Nationals are the 8th most striking-outest team in the league, after all! Plus, a lot of their best hitters are left handed. All in all, this is a riskier play - but it's definitely one that could pay off. Also considered: Gio Gonzalez, Gerrit Cole   Catchers Evan Gattis - FD 2500 DK 4000 DD 8400 DFSTR 3000 To be honest, I'm hesitant to even recommend any other catchers tonight, because this match-up is just too freaking good. If you haven't read our picks in the past, you might not know that Gattis has a downright Bondsian .469 wOBA against left handed pitching this year (which is good for a 1.094 OPS). AND! You might not know that Brad Hand is one of the least qualified left handed people in the world to pitch in the major leagues. Okay, that might be overdoing. But he's still super bad. This won't be pretty. Derek Norris - FD 2400 DK 3200 DD 6900 DFSTR 3000 If you must look away from Gattis, I suppose you could do worse than gazing in Derek Norris' direction. The man's got a .398 wOBA against lefties himself, and absolutely has power to spare. But he's not as good as Gattis, and Keuchel is better than Hand. Why are you even continuing to read this....

Now go win that Tesla!   Total Bases Mike Trout It hasn't been the greatest start to this whole major league pitching thing for Logan Darnell, and it isn't about to get any better. He'll take on Trout and the Angels on Sunday, and when Trout marches to the plate, it might be the mismatch of the season. You can take Trout for hits or total bases, but just make sure he's topping one of your lists. Edwin Encarnacion The way E5 has been slamming the ball recently, he probably doesn't require a ton of explanation here. But I'll humor you. Not only does he have 3 homers in the last week, he's actually crushed right handed pitching this year more than he has left. He'll be squaring off against Rubby De La Rosa - the very definition of "generic bad pitcher" - and chicks who dig the long ball should tune in here and take in the magic. Hits Howie Kendrick Kendrick never turned into a super star, but one thing the man can do is get a hit or two. His high effort, high BABIP approach will be perfect to match up against the stuff-less Darnell. The only risk here is that Darnell gets chased before Kendrick can get his requisite plate appearances! Buster Posey Posey is one of the true lefty mashers in the game, and with 13 Ks and 8 BBs in 17 IP this year, this "Kyle Lobstein" fellow isn't doing anything to scare me off taking the Giants catcher anywhere and everywhere. Strikeouts Julio Teheran Teheran is an interesting guy for the top K slot, because chances are pretty slim that he'll actually drum up the 9 you need to win the day. My suggestion? Take a serious boom or bust guy in your top slot, and fit Teheran in that 2nd slot. The Marlins strike...

And try out our partner ScoreStreak and our exclusive exclusive ScoreStreak picks.   Pitchers There are all kinds of problems with pitching on this slate. Choosing a clear favorite isn't easy. Corey Kluber - FD 9900 DK 11500 DD 20300 DFSTR 10300 He's a favorite against the White Sox today and his price, especially on FanDuel, has dipped a bit based on recent performance. I think that makes a decent time to buy on the guy. Though his last game was a rough one, the games before that saw him still striking out more than a batter an inning even if he was getting knocked around a bit. The White Sox are a good offensive team against righties though they do strike out more than 22% of the time. Kluber isn't a great value everywhere, but pitching is somewhat scarce in this evening slate and if you need to overpay for him a little then so be it. He has the highest strikeout upside of anyone going and that, at times, can be worth paying for. Hyun-Jin Ryu - FD 8700 DK 10200 DD 18100 DFSTR 10800 He's a -220 favorite against the Diamondbacks today and that win expectation is almost enough for a slight overpay here. Ryu's peripherals this season have been stellar as he's striking out eight batters per nine and walking less that two. His 3.12 xFIP looks great and Ryu generally seems like a safe-ish play today. I say safe-ish because while the Diamondbacks rank in the bottom third of the league against lefties, they really never strike out. That means Ryu will have to go deep in the game to really pay off considering it's unlikely he'll pick up a...

And with Bumgarner and Price facing each other (and two solid offenses as well) I'm inclined to just avoid them all together. The win expectation is lowered and you can grab Cueto around the similar price in a better matchup. Cueto isn't as good (IMO) as the other two guys, but he faces the Mets who rank in the bottom third of the league against righties. The ballpark doesn't do him any favors per se, but I think it's fine against the Mets' offense. I should say, he isn't an overwhelming play in our system and I recognize he's not as good as his ERA indicates. But this is a good spot nonetheless. Francisco Liriano - FD 7500 DK 9500 DD 14450 DFSTR 7700 Much has been made of the Cubs young, exciting ball club. And I think they have some pretty great things in their future. That being said, they aren't a complete team yet, and they strike out a ton. Take a guy like Baez for example. This is a dude who bats second and has struck out over 50% of the time against lefties (small sample size). One player does not a team make, but the Cubs as a team K more than 25% of the time against lefties. If you are looking for a complete upside play, Liriano is the guy. Far from safe, but he can grab you a lot of points quickly. Consider Dillon Gee Gee   Catchers Welington...
