Every day this season, our team shares who we believe has the best chance to leave the yard. From one-off plays to core parts of daily stacks, we hope this fun article will help you build winning lineups along the way.
Today’s Picks
James: Fernando Tatis Jr. – “Merrill Kelly has allowed 12 home runs on the year but nine of them have come to right-handed hitters. Righties have the split advantage here, hitting .43 points higher and slugging .107 higher than lefty bats. I was going to go through the whole process of explaining why I like player X against player Y, but nah. Fernando Tatis homered in his first three at-bats on Friday – Tatis hits balls far and hard. The Diamondbacks are a bad team and a worse team on the road. Diamondbacks pitching is not good. Fernando Tatis is very good. That’s all I got today folks, good luck out there.”
Zach: Tommy Pham – “There are only four games on the main slate today and based on the rules of this article I have to select players from the main slate. That doesn’t leave too many hitters to choose from especially when James already selected the best home run threat on this slate in Fernando Tatis Jr. With Tatis Jr. off the board I am going to pivot to his teammate Pham as Merrill Kelly sucks as James talked about and Pham is hitting the ball well right now. Pham went deep last night for the Padres and now has seven extra-base hits including two home runs in his past seven games.”
Jared: Max Muncy – “Muncy’s been an xBH machine since come off the IL recently, and homered last night off Tommy Nance late in the game to prove he’s back to health. Well, he faces Alec Mills this evening who is allowing LHB to slug .512 against him for his career with a .378 wOBA and 14 HR in 70 career IP (320 TBF). That’s a pretty easy situation for me to invest in for one of the league’s most powerful hitters – who thankfully is eligible on the main slate tonight. Lock and load.”
