Total Bases Mike Trout Brad Peacock is just dreadful and I'd expect Trout to have a day against the guy with a mid 4's xFIP. The only thing that has me just a little concerned about using Trout against such a bad pitcher is that Peacock walks tons of guys. That limits what Trout can do just a little with the bat considering we are targeting only total bases. But the matchup is choice and Trout is as good as it gets. Giancarlo Stanton Has spent this season establishing himself as the kind of guy who likes to murder lefty pitching. Like horror show, nightmare kind of murdering. He's got an OPS over 1K in that side of the split to go with a 198 wRC+ and other-worldly .455 wOBA. That spells some bad news for Jon Niese today. Niese isn't bad, but Stanton makes up for it by causing permanent damage to southpaws. Hits Jose Altuve Gets a bit boring recommending him day after day. But if you've played him he's been pretty much the man with at least one hit in his last nine games and three multi-hit games thrown in there. Today he faces the lefty C.J. Wilson putting little Jose in a good spot. He's crushing lefty pitching this season with a crazy 87% contact rate in that split. That spells a lot of hits and he should be able to snag at least one today. Jose Reyes Our system really hates Jeremy Hellickson today against the Jays. Kind of thinks he's going to get rocked. I'll put money on Reyes being part of it. He has a decent contact rate against righty pitching and Hellickson has...

Pitchers Zack Greinke - FD 9700 DK 10700 DD 19050 DFSTR 8600 Stephen Strasburg - FD 9500 DK 10800 DD 20100 DFSTR 8200 I'm lumping these guys together for a reason. First off, our system has them at around the same points per dollar multiplier on both FanDuel and DraftKings. They are both priced under Scherzer and Sale (who face each other) and both have prices falling because of some recent performance issues. The concerns for both are real though slightly different. Greinke has seen a dip in strikeouts since revealing he was dealing with some elbow discomfort. And Strasburg's been a human roller coaster, mixing in equal parts pitching gems and nightmares. Greinke has the better matchup against the Padres, though the strikeouts do concern me. Strasburg faces a middling Mariners team in a good ballpark. I wouldn't say either is a sure thing, but I think they are both in solid spots considering the prices and upside. I suppose the downside is there for both, but at these prices relative to the rest of the pitching field, I think you can swing it. Jake Odorizzi - FD 7800 DK 8200 DD 14850 DFSTR 7300 Despite some recent offense, the Red Sox still do rank in the bottom third of the league in offense against righties on the season. I'm not inclined to think many of their offensive woes have been solved, especially considering they remain committed to playing the young guys. Odorizzi's turned in a solid season with his biggest benefit coming from the K upside. He strikes out about 10 batters per nine. The walks are little high for my taste, but the opponent leaves a great deal to be desired. If you are looking in the middle tier, or someone to pair with a higher priced arm, he's the way...

For their price, I'm not recommending either Clayton Kershaw OR David Price today (cue scary music). Nope. I won't do it. Going to give you some killer value plays instead. Enjoy! Julio Teheran - FD 7200 DK 8100 DD 15050 DFSTR 7900 Gallardo has actually put up some decent peripherals this year, and while's not the strikeout machine he once was, he still rates fine in that category. The big sell here, though, is the match-up. In case this is the first baseball game you are aware of in the 2014 season, the Padres are an historically bad offense - posting a .276(!) wOBA while striking out nearly 22% of the time. Just as our projection system guessed, the luster has been coming off of Despaigne for some time now, and I expect that to continue with a Gallardo W in this one. Also considered: If you must spend, I like Corey Kluber. I also could consider taking a risk of Mat Latos. Catchers Buster Posey - FD 3500 DK 4400 DD 10000 DFSTR 9300 Posey's been short of his historic self this season, but he's still posting an .849 OPS against left handed pitching. And that's all left handed pitching. Tonight, he gets to face Franklin Morales. And I get it, Morales is a major league pitcher, which means he's one of the best 200 pitchers in the world or whatever. But he might be solidly ranked exactly #200. His 80 Ks and 54 BBs in 118 IP are atrocious, and Posey and the Giants should make quick work of him. Devin Mesoraco - FD 3100 DK 3800 DD 7150 DFSTR 3000 The price has dipped from Mesoraco's in-season peak, but it's not totally clear why. The guy has been an animal against right handed pitching this year, posting a .384 wOBA and hitting for serious power - with 16 homers in 264 plate appearances. And I might have been quick to call Morales the worst starter in the bigs - Turner's peripherals are equally grizzly, and he's pitched...

Pitchers Johnny Cueto - FD 10200 DK 11400 DD 19050 DFSTR 10800 Even with xFIP trailing the ERA by about a run I'm still content to play Cueto in cash games today at higher prices because his peripherals have been solid this season and even with a little luck he's still been a damned good pitcher. The abnormally low ERA has his price inflated a tad though it's in an acceptable range considering the Cubs are about as bad as it gets against righty pitching. They rank only above the Padres in team wOBA and San Diego is catching them. Cueto will most likely be a big cash game play because the rest of the field has its question marks. Alex Wood - FD 7900 DK 8200 DD 15750 DFSTR 8600 Another guy with a great matchup. The good news on Wood is he's coming with very similar peripherals as Cueto against an equally crappy team, but at significantly lower prices. Wood is striking out more than 8.5 batters per nine and walking less than three. The xFIP is in the low 3's over an extended run this season. The Mets are brutal against lefty pitching, coming in at 28th in the league against lefties. I see Wood as much better for the dollars on a day when pitching is weaker across the board. Madison Bumgarner - FD 9600 DK 10000 DD 20600 DFSTR 11600 He's a little lower on the list, but I think he makes a real solid play today. The Rockies are a totally different team away from Coors. On the road they rank in the bottom third of the league in team wOBA. After a brutal game against the Pirates, Bumgarner's last four starts have been tight and his last game against the Cubs was a GPP delight. James Paxton - FD 5500 The Rangers hit lefties well, but he's coming so cheap on FanDuel that the risk is completely acceptable. He has solid strikeout and walk rates to go with a low threes xFIP. Cheap enough with the other factors. Jason Hammel - FD 6600 DK...
