Everyone who started Alex Wood yesterday (us included) knows about this. That being said, even with a huge regression in that area, the Padres still stink. It would just bring them closer to the pack rather than historically bad. The peripherals on Teheran are excellent this season and his control allows him to go late in games. This is a price thing too. Kershaw and Sale are bank busters. Teheran falls in the next level and the matchup dictates a play here. Chris Sale - FD 10500 DK 12300 DD 21950 SS 32400 If I had to pick between the big boys of Sale and Kershaw, I think today I’d go Sale. I know Kershaw is from some other planet where they genetically engineer pitchers. But the price is simply too high. Sale on the other hand, while expensive, faces a Twins team that strike out 21% of the time and ranks in the middle of the pack against lefties. Sale is striking out almost 10 batters per nine and walking next to no one. The xFIP is in the high 2’s and he’s a solid play today in all formats. Jake Arrieta - FD 7700 DK 9600 DD 17200 SS 27400 He doesn’t have the strikeout upside of the guys mentioned above because his matchup with the Cardinals sets a slightly lower expectation on that front. But the Cards aren’t a good hitting team in general. The rank in the lower third of the league in team wOBA against righties. Arrieta has been nails this season with a 9.85 K/9 and 2.79 xFIP (2.12 ERA). Tom Koehler - FD 6300 DK 6800 DD 13450 SS 18400 This one is all about price and matchup. Koehler is by no means a good pitcher. He’s simply average with an xFIP in the mid 4’s. His strikeout rate is in the mid 7’s and his peripherals are just *meh. But the...

If you have any questions, just email us dailyfantasysr@gmail.com or shoot us a tweet @dailyfantasysr     Total Bases Jose Bautista What a spot for Joey Bats today. He faces a retread lefty Chris Capuano in Yankee Stadium. If you are looking to fill those total bases with one swing of the bat, look no further. Bautista is in the top ten in the league in mashing against lefties with an OPS over 1.1000 and a crazy high 210 wRC+. Capuano hasn't been in the majors this season and gets kicks around to different teams for a reason. Yankee Stadium will do Bautista favors in the power department and this guy will be at the top of my total bases category for sure. Khris Davis Could make a case for a couple of the Brew Crew today but I'm going to go off board a bit with a guy who's rather quietly killed lefties this season. His .982 OPS on that side of the split is awesome and though he strikes out a ton, he doesn't walk much. That's kind of important in this format because you don't want his non-K PA's to be him taking free passes. You want him swinging away. And against Jon Niese I think you can expect him to have the bat on the ball.   Hits Andrew McCutchen Tyler Matzek is a lower K, lower walk lefty pitching in Coors against one of the true masters of this side of the platoon split. McCutchen has a low .900's OPS against lefties and that's with a .255 Babip in that split. That's kind of insane and when the Babip regresses you will see him vault up to the top of the league again. Coors is a great place for this to happen and I love him for multiple hits today and you could easily put him in the total bases category today. Robinson Cano Cano is a low strike out, low walk guy as well and that's a great spot to collect hits. Especially against a guy like Bud Norris who doesn't send many guys down on strikes. That's...

Pitchers Alex Wood - FD 7700 DK 7700 DD 14650 SS 23000 Congratulations to Alex Wood, the winner of the daily "Who gets to pitch against the Padres?" sweepstakes. The Dads are the very worst team in the league in wOBA, are one of the top 5 in the league in terms of most strike outs, and just traded away their best hitter. Wood has been very solid this season in his own right - featuring around a K per inning and showing pretty good control as well. All in all, he seems like the clear start of the day. Note - you could also make a case for Jesse Hahn strictly in terms of upside. The price is right, and the Braves are pretty K happy. Zack Greinke - FD 9400 DK 9800 DD 18250 SS 27900 I'm going to go against the grain today and not recommend either Felix or David Price. Neither has a dynamite match-up, and while they are both capable of a great night, I'd prefer to spend more on hitting and go for Greinke. It's another time where you could make a case for Greinke or Lincecum, but I'm going with the Zack attack on the basis that he simply has a lower floor on any given day. The Giants' best hitters all hit from the right side of the plate, and the park is right tonight for Greinke to put up a big night. Zack Wheeler - FD 7300 DK 7800 DD 13500 SS 23200 I'm sticking with Zacks who spell their names with a K for my 2nd and 3rd slots tonight. The Brewers have a fairly solid offense, but like the Giants, their best hitters are righties. Gallardo isn't the pitcher he once was, with reduced Ks and a similar amount of walks, and Wheeler should be in a nice position for a win as well. Also considered: Jesse Hahn, Wade Miley   Catchers Miguel Montero - FD 2800 DK 3900 DD 8300 SS 6400 It's a less than ideal day in the catcher department, with a lot of big names facing either tough pitchers...

If you have any questions, just email us dailyfantasysr@gmail.com or shoot us a tweet @dailyfantasysr     Total Bases Andrew McCutchen Why get crazy here right? All of the stars are aligned for this guy to have a huge game and there aren't even any salary cap issues to worry about here. He's facing a lefty in Coors and that's pretty much all you need to know. But if you feel like you need to know a little more, know this: McCutch is OPS'ing over 1.000 against lefties this season and Brett Anderson is a dude who pitches to contact. This can be a poison pill in Colorado and McCutchen is in such a great spot. Anderson strikes out less than six batters per nine and has an xFIP near four. Why think too hard about this one? Mike Trout Speaking of guys who destroy lefties. Have you heard of Michael Nelson Trout? He's pretty good on this side of the platoon split. His 187 wRC+ and .438 wOBA against southpaws is something we dream about in situations like this: facing the Drew Smyly's of the world. Smyly's xFIP is over four and though he can strike some ("some" being the operative word) batters out, this is still Trout we are talking about.   Hits Jose Altuve If you play anyone else in the top hitters spot, you are simply doing it wrong. Altuve is a hit machine. He never strikes out. Walks even less and is having a fantastic season. He's among the best hitters in the league against lefty pitching with an OPS in the mid .900's thanks in part to a high Babip, but also due to a career platoon split that much favors facing lefties. Oh, and good news: Brad Hand stinks. Howie Kendrick Another guy I'll be targeting against Smyly, Kendrick profiles different than Trout (duh) but makes an advantageous play on this side of the split. His 143 wRC+ against lefties is thanks in large part to his LD% against lefties, a contact rate that plays perfectly to this style of DFS play. Should be able to eek...
