If you're interested, here are today's daily picks: Check em out.   Pitchers Max Scherzer FanDuel 8700 DraftKings 8400 DraftStreet 18999 I like Gray for the same reasons I like Scherzer - an opponent that strikes out a ton. While Gray isn't the natural stuff machine that Scherzer is, he can still put together a high strike out game, and the Marlins are actually tied for 1st with those Astros in terms of strike out percentage (23.3%). In addition, he'll be pitching in a terrific pitchers park with one of the league's best offenses behind him. A very solid play. Also considered: Gio Gonzalez (he is pitching against someone named "Dallas Beeler," Chris Sale, Matt Cain Catcher Wilson Ramos FanDuel 3000 DraftKings 4000 DraftStreet 5336 Just warning you now - get ready for a theme. Dallas Beeler sounds more like a Friday Night Lights villain than a major league baseball pitcher, and his stats in the minors bear it out. I'll have plenty of opportunity to write about this as the picks go along, so let me focus on Ramos. It's tempting to think of him as a low upside guy due to the lack of power, but Ramos makes a ton of contact and can pile up multi-hit games. Against a guy like Beeler, Ramos could have a nice opportunity to gather some counting stats as well. Russell Martin FanDuel 2800 DraftKings 3800 DraftStreet 5249 On FanDuel, Martin has averaged 2.7 Fantasy points per game, which is pretty much a ton for anyone, much less a $2,800 catcher. While Niese is a solid pitcher, Martin has flexed a 116 wRC+ against lefties for his career, and I think he'll fare well here. Yasmani Grandal FanDuel 2500 DraftKings 3400 DraftStreet 4132 I'm going to be real with you for a second - I hate every catcher in the late games. I'm giving you Grandal because he's cheap and can hit pretty well against right handers, but mostly because he's facing Josh Collmenter, whose inability to strike anyone out really mitigates the...

Let's get to it.   Pitchers Johnny Cueto FanDuel 5400 DraftKings 6500 DraftStreet 11742 This is your strikeout upside guy for the day. Coming super cheap against the Mariners who've shown flashes of offense lately, but are still in the bottom half of the league against. Bauer K's about a batter an inning but has control issues. xFIP is under 4. Like him as a cheap second or third starter with a higher ceiling but the floor is there. Consider Tyson...

You'll like it as much as we do.   Total Bases Ryan Braun Facing a lefty in Miller Parker today is a recipe for success when it comes to old Braun-y. Miller isn't Coors, but it isn't too far behind either in terms of park factors for righties. Braun has struggled a bit this year especially against southpaws. But some of this is Babip related as well as a lower Hr/FB%. This doesn't tell the whole story by any means, but there are some underlying factors to his reduced OPS. But I'm on him today against Matzek. Chris Davis Another guy to consider when it comes to fulfilling total bases in one swing of the bat. Not the safest play on the board but is in such a great spot considering Colome has struggled a little in his time up in the majors and Davis has some of the best power in the game. Again, it's a risk because the contact rate is low. But I wanted to give a guy the field won't be on as much and out system love the upside for.   Total Hits Dustin Pedroia He really pounds lefties both this season and over his career. This season's .836 OPS and 130 wRC+ show a guy whose early struggles haven't come from this side of the split. Vidal Nuno is pretty much garbage and it stands to reason that not only will Pedroia be able to grab a hit or two but that he he'll also have more opportunity as the Sox should be able to turn the lineup over more. Dee Gordon Speed is such a key component in projecting hits. For some of the other, bigger mashers a great deal needs to go right for them....

Today's picks brought to you by Mark Hallman. Follow him on Twitter @RealMarkHallman   Total Bases Ryan Braun Once again, Braun is far and away the best option for total bases, so the system says. He faces Rockie lefty Christian Friedrich for the second time in a week. Welcome to the big leagues kid, your first two starts are against one of the best offensive teams in baseball. Friedrich didn't do as bad as one would think when you hear "MLB debut at Coors Field against the Brew Crew." He gave up four earned runs in six innings, although his defense let him down in a big way, and he gave up five more runs, unearned. Braun isn't crazy good against lefties this season, but 7 of his 18 hits are for extra bases. Gotta trust the system with such a clear cut favorite here. Jose Reyes Another top five play in the system today, but not for the home run power that Braun has. Reyes hits line drives all over the field, literally, his spray chart is as equally distributed as it gets. His BABIP is under .270, so he has even more room to improve for hits. Reyes draws Scott Carroll in the first game against the White Sox. In 11 games this season, Carroll is stumbling with a 4.98 xFIP. Carroll strikes out just as many batters as he walks, right around 3 or 4. Carroll's line driver percentage and home run-to-fastball ratio are both over league average. All in all, Reyes makes for a very solid play for the offense-powered Blue Jays.   Total Hits Melky Cabrera Another Blue Jay here. The White Sox pitchers have given up 89 hits (Wednesday...
