6/1/16

 

Let’s start June off with some HUGE WINS

Ortiz is expensive tonight, but is basically the chalk at 1^st base.   He is in Camden tonight against Mike Wright.  Lefties are hitting .354 against Wright this season and Ortiz has 2 home runs in only 5 AB’s vs Wright.  His price is so high that his ownership may be slightly down. 

 

Scherzer is a huge favorite on the board and Grinders has him finishing with the most DFS points tonight.  I personally will be fading him in GPP’s.  In 13 innings vs Philly this season, Scherzer has allowed 12 hits, 4 ER, 2 HRs, and 14 K’s.  These are good numbers, but not worthy of paying top dollar in my opinion.  He is safe, and head to heads or 50/50’s he’s your guy, but I don’t think he will be on the roster of the winning GPP’s tonight.

 

Me likey Shoemaker as a nice GPP play tonight with big K potential.   He has 23 strikeouts in the past two outings, and has career 0.46 ERA against Detroit in 3 starts.  The Tigers do strike out a lot, and if he can shut down Miggy and V mart, he could be looking at another 10K night, and at his price, that has a huge value.  Detroit’s bats can always catch fire, and Shoemaker could absolutely get shelled, but the potential is there if things go his way tonight

 

The Yankees stink, but the fear that McCann or Beltran take Sanchez deep tonight is enough for me to stay clear of this one.

 

I love Ozuna tonight against Niese in Miami.  I also would throw Stanton in if he plays (doubtful)

 

Lester has a pretty good matchup on paper, I just feel he is overdue for a shelling.

 

My other BALLSY GPP play tonight is actually Robbie Ray.  Houston strike outs almost 30% against Lefties, and Ray has pitched well OUTSIDE of Arizona this season.  Altuve and a red hot Springer really scare me, but if he can avoid damage from these guys, there are plenty of K’s to be found deeper in this lineup.  If you want Rockies galore, you need to get cute tonight……………….

 

Archer has been a mess this year, and has some pretty crappy BVP against MY Royals.  Alcides Escobar is all or nothing, but I will take a shot on him tonight leading off.  I’m also gonna ride The Cain/ Morales Train as well.  Tampa kills lefties, Duffy is not a smart play.

 

The Rockies put up 47 runs last night with 100 Home Runs, they get Lamb tonight.  GROSS.  I went with the lefties last night, I will swith it to the righties tonight.  DJ, Story, Arenado, Raburn, and Garneau  will be my stack.  Remember, The Reds bullpen is the worst in MLB, so ANY Colorado player is a GOOD play tonight.  They are gonna be HUGELY owned, but if they score another 15 PLUS, I’m gonna nut punch myself for fading this game.

 

I think King Felix is a very safe play tonight along with Scherzer.   Padres don’t scare anyone. 

 

A few Cheaper plays:  Bourn, Revere, Harrison, Buetera and some of the cheaper Arizona bats when lineup is announced.  (If you want to pivot off Ortiz, Goldschmidt is my go to guy tonight.  He’s heating up, and overdue for a multi-homer game)
