Total Bases Jose Abreu Miguel Cabrera They face off against each other tonight. I'm happy to throw them in the top two total bases slots and then turn the game on the enjoy. Both are facing off against decidedly below average pitchers in Kyle Lobstein and Chris Bassitt. That this game could get high scoring from both sides means we should see chances for extra plate appearances and I'm always willing to target sluggers like these guys against mediocre arms. ScoreStreak is a great format in these slots because we aren't salary constricted and the only real question is who to put in the higher slot. I'm going Abreu simply because the splits against lefties are out of the box this season. Granted, there's some luck involved, but you don't put up his production on luck alone. He rakes lefties and I'm all over these plays. Hits Jose Altuve Derek Holland has been pretty solid since returning from the DL, but Altuve's season long splits are really too much too pass on when it comes the hits category. He strikes out only 8% of the time against lefties and walks even less. The ball is in play so much for Altuve on this side of the split that the hit expectation becomes significantly higher than most of his peers. Even with the tough matchup I think you need to have him somewhere in your hits column. Derek Jeter F@#$ it. And I'm a Red Sox fan. Won't get to write about him in the daily sense for much longer, he's still a tougher out for lefties in terms of contact and the ballpark helps him some. He's run bad against lefties this season with a .260 Babip and his contact rate is over 80% in this split. So there's some case to be made. Strikeouts Francisco Liriano Not the best matchup for the guy in one sense because the Braves are actually decent against lefties...
