Outside of a horrendous start against Boston a few weeks ago, Iwakuma's been steady Eddie. One reason is his crazy low 0.78 BB/9 walk rate which is about as low as you'll ever see. He's also striking out more than seven batters per nine, a number that could tick up against the Astros who K more than 23% of the time against righties. He's a healthy favorite on the day and for cash games this is the way to go. Matt Shoemaker - FD 8100 DK 8800 DD 15350 DFSTR 9900 He's been something of a hidden gem this season. The peripherals are excellent with a K rate close to a batter an inning and he walks less than two per nine. The Rangers rank in the bottom third of the league against righty pitching and they are a team definitely headed in the wrong direction. Shoemaker's 3.26 xFIP shows it's not all smoke and mirrors with him and only the ballpark has me worried here. Drew Hutchison - FD 6600 DK 7100 DD 12600 DFSTR 6600 After Iwakuma and Shoemaker the waters definitely get a bit murkier. Hutchison, while anything but safe, makes for a great upside play. The Cubs K more than 23% of the time against righties and rank near the bottom of the league in team wOBA on that side of the split. Hutchison's turned in a *meh kind of season from an xFIP standpoint, but the...

Lester's strike out rate is close to a K an inning, but the big story is his control. He's walking less than two batters per nine, allowing him often times to go later into games. He's the favorite today against Danks and still coming moderately priced all things considered. The White Sox strike out 22% of the time against lefties and rate in the bottom half of the league in that platoon split. Wade Miley - FD 7500 DK 8200 DD 13750 DFSTR 5800 On such a tough pitching day, we need to find a little values in the margins. Miley doesn't have a great, great matchup today but the Giants are only slightly above league average against lefties. They strike out plenty and though guys like Pence and Posey do their fair share of damage, the rest of the lineup is bad on this side of the split. Miley has decent K upside, needs to limit the walks to be truly effective and the park helps him. It won't make me feel awesome, but this is a tough day. Consider Mark Buehrle and Roenis Elias as high risk/ K upside guys at lower prices.   Catchers Jonathan Lucroy - FD 3000 DK 4300 DD 9100 DFSTR 5300 His price on FanDuel remain ridiculous and I'm buying on that $3000 salary almost all day long. There are a couple of other...

Now go win that Tesla!   Total Bases Mike Trout Never stepping out on any kind of limb to pick one of the best (the best?) hitters in baseball to lead out your total bases category. But we don't pick Trout everyday, just the ones where he has a solid matchup. Today is one of them. He faces (somewhat) home run happy Colby Lewis in the Ballpark in Arlington, a hitter's haven through and through. Trout doesn't have issues with platoon splits in that he hits everyone well. His .912 OPS against righties this season is testament enough. Josh Donaldson Just destroys lefty pitching. Crushes lefties souls. Donaldson has tuned up southpaws with a 1.088 OPS and .459 wOBA against them on the season. Today he faces John Danks, a middling lefty, in one of the best hitters parks in U.S. Cellular Field. I'm going to have a lot of exposure to Donaldson today as the historical resume he's put up in this platoon is just too good.   Hits Jose Altuve Whenever he's facing lefties, Altuve is a guy you want in this category. He's next to impossible to strike out (8.9% K rate) and never walks, meaning the ball is in play more often than not when facing a lefty. Today it's Roenis Elias who doesn't have any significant swing and miss stuff. This is kind of no-brainer on the day. Put him up for your two hit category. Erick Aybar Aybar's contact rate is excellent against righty pitching as he strikes out less than 10% of the time and walks less than 6%. That means the ball is in play about 84% of the time when he is facing righty pitching. Combine that with him facing up against mediocre righty pitching with a guy like Colby Lewis and you have a good hit expectation.   Strikeouts Jon Lester Max Scherzer Again, there are some days when these plays are rather easy to make. Granted the...

He's had more than four K's in a game only once in his last four starts. Granted, he faced some teams that don't strike out a ton, but the dip has me just a little iffy on him. But everything else is lining up to start King Felix. He's pitching in Safeco against the Astros who rank in the bottom third of the league against righties and strike out more than 22% of the time. He's going to cost you, but I think he makes a nice cash game play as you should be able to afford his salary. Marcus Stroman - FD 7200 DK 6800 DD 11950 DFSTR 3000 There's actually a decent amount to like with this matchup. The Cubs are pretty bad against righties on the season, and not much of that has changed with the addition of some of the young names they've brought up recently. They strike out a ton, 23% of the time against righties and that kind of K bump for a pitcher means something. Stroman is a -173 favorite today and has been pretty efficient this season with his peripherals. The xFIP is in the low threes and I see him as a good GPP/ 2 SP pitcher today. Shelby Miller - FD 6000 DK 6300 DD 11850 DFSTR 5700 If you feel like he's been starting to fix what ails him, then Miller makes an interesting play against the Reds today. He's struggled this season, especially in generating strikeouts. But he had a...

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...
