Total Bases David Ortiz Great spot for Big Papi. Real bas spot for Bud Norris. Norris is a perfect pitcher to target when we are talking about Ortiz. Bud strikes out less than seven batters per nine and Ortiz only has a 15.4% K%, a real low number for a power hitter. Norris has an xFIP in the mid 4's and Papi has been running a little bad in Babip. These are mutually exclusive ideas obviously, just worth mentioning both if you are wrapped up in season stats. Plus Camden Yards is one of the best parks in the majors for lefty power. Ortiz's total base upside should put him in one of your first two spots here. Miguel Cabrera Miggy is right with him and there's a case to make him number one. Some might say this everyday probably, but our ScoreStreak projection system is pretty damned good at parsing out those with the best expectations. Cabrera comes in just a few decimals behind Papi. He faces Hector Noesi who for sure isn't as bad as his mid fives ERA, but also isn't very good. US Cellular Field is actually right in line with Camden Yards except producing that power from the right side. Miggy is of course Miggy and I don't think you go wrong putting both of these in your top spots today. (Note: Miggy left Sunday night's game with a hamstring issue. If he doesn't play I'd consider Adrian Beltre in this spot)  Hits/strong> Alex Rios Rios straight up destroys lefty pitching and our system really likes him against T.J. House, a lefty who pitches to contact. House strikes out less than 6.5 batters per nine. Rios strikes our a...

If you're interested, here are today's daily picks: Check em out.   Pitchers Anibal Sanchez FanDuel 8600 DraftKings 9900 DraftStreet 17516 As I wrote yesterday with Scherzer, these Red Sox aren't what you're thinking. Get that World Series squad out of your head. They are in the bottom third of the league offensively against righties. Scherzer exploited this and he was a massive under start across the industry. Sanchez will be the same way today. Sanchez isn't as good as his 2.15 ERA would suggest. His xFIP is a little more than a run higher. But he still racks up the K's and his tag is just fine. Jordan Zimmermann FanDuel 8000 DraftKings 7700 DraftStreet 15487 The Padres stink. And they play in one of the best pitcher's park in the league. Those two considerations alone are enough to consider every pitcher taking the mound against the Dads. This is the perfect spot for a guy like Zimmerman who makes up for his lack of K's by not walking anyone. If you are going to allow contact, this is one of the parks to do it. Zimmerman walks less than two batters per nine, while striking out about seven per nine. I think he will be a real popular cash game play where the price is right because his floor is so high because of the opponent. Homer Bailey FanDuel 8100 DraftKings 8100 DraftStreet 14962 You usually know pretty quickly what version of Homer Bailey you've gotten on a particular day. He doesn't leave much to the imagination. Dude has run crazy bad in his HR/FB rate which is about six points higher than is career average. It's the thing that kills him really. But I like him today against the Phillies who rank 27th in the league in OPS against righties. They stink. The game being in Great American Ballpark isn't ideal of course. But I can stomach it on the upside. C.J. Wilson FanDuel 8100 DraftKings 10700 DraftStreet 17966 The White Sox strike out 24% of the time against lefties,...

Some of the other big pats like Trout, Miggy and Papi have tough matchups today so I'm avoiding them. Gonzo gets a crappy Jhoulys Chacin in the best ballpark ever created for hitters. He's on the right side of his platoon split and though there have been some power issues lately, he still rates out as our top total bases play factored for matchup. Jay Bruce Weird name right? Don't let it be. Bruce is in an awesome spot today to put up some stats. He faces a righty in Roberto Hernandez who's a little smoke and mirrors-y. Bruce has struck out a little more than I'd like to see, but I love that he's in a hitter's ballpark against a weaker arm. He is about .100 OPS points better against this side of the split. Honestly, not a name I'd have really considered actively, but our projections have him right near the top.   Hits Michael Brantley Plain and simple, dude just puts his bat on the ball. When we are looking to rack up hit totals this is a fantastic consideration. Brantley doesn't like to walk and he doesn't like to strikeout. He likes to swing and make contact. He's having a great season with 70 hits already, and it doesn't look too Babip-fueled. Nick Tepesch doesn't have big K stuff either which has me super encouraged about Brantley's chances of gutting out a few hits. Starlin Castro Another guy, like Brantley, who doesn't enjoy walking too much. He wants his bat on the ball. K's a little more than MB but not at a rate...

If you're interested, here are today's daily picks: Check em out.   Pitchers Lot of reasons to avoid the big arms today. The reasons have names like Tigers, Rockies and Angels. Some aces are facing some good teams and that can really be an issue for the obvious reasons. If I were to pay up for one of them I think I'd use: Max Scherzer FanDuel 10400 DraftKings 10000 DraftStreet 20551 In many ways Scherzer's seasons this year looks exactly the same as his Cy Young campaign from a year ago. The K's, walks and xFIP are totally in line with what he did last year. The biggest difference that I can see is last season he ran awesome in Babip and this year he is simply normal. Really, this season is probably a more accurate representation of what he is, with the ERA adjusted up just a bit. Of the ace-type arms today he makes the strongest play because his opponent is the worst of the matchups. The Red Sox rank in the bottom third of the league against lefties with a .306 wOBA and .689 OPS. They also strikeout 22% of the time. Not in love with this play, but pitching is a little odd with the matchups. Scherzer is still a strong pitcher and he can rack up the strikeouts. Jeff Samardzija FanDuel 7700 DraftKings 8800 DraftStreet 19659 I know Samardzija got rocked last time out against Milwaukee. Sometimes a performance like this can be a harbinger of injuries news to come. I'm opting with the former in this case because we haven't heard anything over the last couple of days. The Marlins aren't slouches by any means, but they strike out 23% of the time. This is an upside-ish play if you think Samardzija can rack up the K's and keep them off the board. His price dictates this as he comes in below the aces on the price guide. Alex Cobb FanDuel 7500 DraftKings 9000 DraftStreet 16445 Another guy priced in the next tier after the big...

You'll like it as much as we do.   Total Bases Yasiel Puig For total bases tonight I'm heading out to Denver for some of that clean, crisp, super thin air. Puig has been a beast this season plain and simple. His 1.137 OPS is a bit Babip fueled, but really how much worse would he be? He's crushing. Against an unknown quantity in Eddie Butler, I'll take Puig. Yasiel is an equally opportunity killer against both lefties and righties so the splits don't matter much. He destroys both. This is our top total bases play. Miguel Cabrera Rubby de la Rosa came out like lightening in his first major league start, mowing down the Rays with eight strikeouts in seven innings. The Tigers aren't the Rays. Miggy is Miggy and I'm not completely buying what de la Rosa did against Tampa. Cabrera, I think, actually makes the Pug decision on total bases a little close than you'd think. In fact, our system projects Miggy a bit higher. But I'm tempering it a bit only because of de la Rosa's first start. It's hard to totally quantify that return so I'm willing to put Miggy down the list just a bit. Stil so solid and should be in your top three.   Hits Jacoby Ellsbury For hits I want to target a guy like Ellsbury for a couple of reasons. Obviously, he's facing a crap pitcher in Guthrie who really struggles with inducing swings and misses. But Guthrie also limits the walks. He pitches to contact and Ellsbury, with his speed, should see his chances at scratching out a hit. As a team the Yankees are in a great spot to put up runs on Guthrie, meaning Jacoby could see at least an extra...
