If you're interested, here are today's daily picks: Check em out.   Pitchers Madison Bumgarner FanDuel 9600 DraftKings 11100 DraftStreet 21314 Bumgarner has been dynamite recently, and while Washington is a less than ideal opponent - Bumgarner still has easily the best upside of the big name guys going today. Wainwright is way more expensive, and our system has Bumgarner projected for a fraction of a point less at 1,300 savings (on FanDuel). This is the difference between a superstud and a pretty good hitter - and it's an easy savings to take in my mind. Corey Kluber FanDuel 8700 DraftKings 10700 DraftStreet 20448 The only thing dinging Kluber here is the Royals' relative lack of strikeouts. Still, though - I think Kluber will pin down the royal with little to no difficulty. Josh Beckett FanDuel 7500 DraftKings 9300 DraftStreet 16410 Beckett's not the ace he used to be, but he's still plenty of pitcher. And the Reds are quietly awful. Even accounting for Joey Votto's contributions this year, the Reds are the third worst run scoring team in the majors. Leake's pitch to contact approach should favor the free swinging Dodgers - who should put up a ton of runs in short order. Also considered: Francisco Liriano, Ian Kennedy   Catcher Wilin Rosario FanDuel 3100 DraftKings 4000 DraftStreet 5826 Mike Minor is a fine pitcher, but pitchers a heck of a lot finer than him have been humbled and then some by Coors Field. Rosario makes his living hitting left handers at home, and given te lack of other terrific options, I'll be playing him heavily. Derek Norris FanDuel 3000 DraftKings 3800 DraftStreet 7087 Norris rocks a nearly 1k OPS against left handed pitching, and while the park and pitching match-up leaves something to be desired, you just have to trust me on this one - guys with platoon splits like Norris can hit all but the very best opposite handed pitchers. Carlos Ruiz FanDuel 2500 DraftKings 3900 DraftStreet 4593 Chooch is nearly platoon neutral, and he's terrific at home...

If you're interested, here are today's daily picks: Check em out.   Pitchers Stephen Strasburg FanDuel 9900 DraftKings 11400 DraftStreet 23010 Going chalkity-chalk-chalk here. Really no way around it. I do know the case against Strasburg today and it involves the career home/road splits. He's a better pitcher at home, plain and simple. His career ERA is a half run worse on the road where he also doubles his walk rate. Who knows why these things happen, but they have. And you need to be aware of it. That being said, if you are going to play him on the road this is for sure a spot to make it happen. The Giants strike out about 23% of the time against righties and AT&T park is a pitcher's delight. Even with the home/road idea I'm still totally fine playing Strasburg today. Tony Cingrani FanDuel 7500 DraftKings 7700 DraftStreet 15003 After Strasburg the pitcher pool thins out rather quickly so a quick disclaimer: I don't think Cingrani is very good. What I'm betting on here is that the Dodgers are even worse. LA ranks second to last in the league against lefty pitching sputtering to a .278 team wOBA against that hand. They strike out a bunch and really drop off a cliff in terms of talent after about the fifth hole. With Puig out the Dodgers get considerably worse, leaving only Hanley and to some extent Van Slyke as threat. (Kemp has been worse against lefties over the last year) Cingrani has a K upside along with some control issues. This is merely an upside play as he can walk the ballpark. But the Dodgers aren't good right now. Dan Haren FanDuel 7300 DraftKings 8100 DraftStreet 15297 On the other side of things, the Reds also suck offensively. They rank dead last in the league against right handed pitching. And I wouldn't say there is any silver lining on the horizon. The Reds are a bad team without any real big time threats in the line up. Sure Bruce has power and...

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...
