Here is my line up on Draft Kings for today. I went with a Classic Line up. I spent my allotted $50,000 on the 1:05 games.
P: Carlos Martinez, Cardinals at Reds ($9,300): Martinez got off to a tough start against the Marlins in his return but I fully expect him to bounce back today against a Reds team he’s owned in the past.
P: Clayton Richard, Padres at Marlins ($7,300): The ground ball specialist has a quality match up against a Marlins line up that is top three in baseball in ground ball outs.
C: Brian McCann, Astros at Rangers ($3.200): McCann is in a timeshare with Max Stassi so there is no guarantee he starts today. If he does, I like him against Matt Moore. McCann has struggled against lefties in his career but Moore can’t jam him inside and will leave something over the plate.
1B: Paul Goldschmidt, D-Backs at Rockies ($5,600): Goldy is hitting everything in sight now. He has had a monster weekend at Coors Field and I expect that to continue today.
2B: Josh Harrison, Pirates at Cubs ($3,800): Jay Hey does so many things well. He always finds himself on the score sheet. A solid play today against Kyle Hendricks.
3B: Colin Moran. Pirates at Cubs ($3,800): Staying with the Pirates theme. I like the value here, especially against Hendricks.
SS: Jean Segura, Mariners at Rays ($4,800): Segura is once again proving he is one of the top hitters in baseball. I love this match up against hard throwing Nathan Eovaldi. Eovaldi can be wild at times.
OF: Teoscar Hernandez, Blue Jays vs. Orioles ($4,300): Hernandez power has subsided a little bit he is a doubles hitter who gets on base and always seemingly produces points.
OF: Eddie Rosario, Twins vs. Angels ($5,200): Rosario is having a terrific season thus far. One of the most under used player in DFS in my opinion. I really like the match up today against young Nick Tropeano of the Angels.
OF: Trey Mancini, Orioles at Blue Jays ($3200): I was running out of money so I went with the best available bat in Mancini. He has hit the ball well at the Rogers Centre so I am banking on that here.
