Pitchers Jose Fernandez - FD 10500 DK 10200 Victiv Yahoo 32 We had Fernandez as the play of the slate last time he pitched and dude didn't disappoint. He struck out nine over seven innings in a dominant performance against the Reds. That game had the added bonus of going in Miami, a true pitcher's haven while this one is going in Philly, anything but. Though the Phillies rank dead last in the league against righties this season, so that helps. Fernandez is an ace plain and simple. His K rate is more than a batter an inning and he limits the walks by just kind of never allowing them. He's a favorite for the win today and the price hasn't fully caught up to his ace levels since coming back from injury. Play him without much hesitation. Masahiro Tanaka - FD 9700 DK 9500 Victiv Yahoo 25 Finally turned in a strong performance right before the All-Star break going 7 2/3 innings while striking out six against the A's. His peripherals remain fantastic this season with a 5:1 K:BB rate while striking out more than a batter an inning. It's not those numbers that make me wary, but rather his elevated pitch counts thanks to going deep into counts with seemingly every batter. Today though he faces a bottom-feeding team against righties in the Mariners who rank 24th in the league while striking out 22% of the time. Wish the game wasn't in Yankee Stadium, but eveything else lines up for Tanaka. Julio Teheran - FD 8200 DK 8100 Victiv Yahoo 25 Think you can target some righty pitchers on the cheap against the Cubs because of their strikeout tendencies. Teheran is only a GPP play for my money, but does get a boost in K expectation because the Cubbies go down on strikes more than 25% of the time. They also haven't been all that great against right handed pitching in general this season, ranking 23rd in the league. Teheran's struggled some but looked good in his last outing against the Phillies. Slightly consider Jorge de la Rosa as a GPP play against the Padres in Petco.

Catchers Buster Posey - FD 4400 DK 4100 Victiv 5700 Yahoo 17 Posey still rakes lefty hitters and over the last couple...
