I actually like Santana today at home against the struggling Tigers line up.
We’re back and we’re going with a classic line up. Here is how spent our $50,000 on Draft Kings.
Line Up
P: Erwin Santana, Twins vs. Tigers ($7,000): Santana hasn’t been great since his return off the D.L but he’s at home today and he faces a struggling Tigers line up.
P: Masahiro Tanaka, Yankees vs. Rays ($8,000): Tanaka is a risky play even against the Rays. He gives up home runs at home but he could also fan 10 and be dominant. I’m hoping that’s the case today.
C: Wilson Ramos, Phillies vs. Mets ($4,100): Ramos is back and healthy and I’m back on the Ramos express. He will croak Mets pitching in this series.
1B: Justin Smoak, Blue Jays at Royals ($4,100): Smoak is heating up and is a solid play this weekend. The Royals starting rotation is awful and the Blue Jays Line up should take advantage of it this weekend.
2B: Whit Merrifield, Royals vs. Blue Jays ($4,000): Merrifield is the only Royals worth playing right now in DFS. He is a solid cross category producer.
3B: Colin Moran, Pirates vs. Cubs ($3,600): Moran hasn’t been very good at the plate since the all break but he’s a great value at this price. Especially because he’s facing Jon Lester who is struggling mightily of late.
SS: Ahmed Rosario, Mets at Phillies ($3,200): Rosario isn’t a great play but the Mets have a doubleheader today and the Phillies ate trotting out the immortal Ranger Suarez in the first game.
OF: Justin Upton, Angels at Rangers ($5,500): Upton has picked up the slack in Mike Trout’s absence and has led a mediocre line up the past two weeks. A weekend in Texas hitting in the heat makes Upton a quality DFS play.
OF: Bryce Harper,Nationals at Cardinals ($5,500): I had enough money left over to splurge on outfielders so I went with Harper against Luke Weaver. Weaver has good stuff but also struggles at times. Fingers crossed that he struggles today.
OF: Giancarlo Stanton, Yankees vs. Rays ($5,300): I don’t like the match up against Blake Snell but I do like the righty versus lefty match up so I went with Stanton.
