Kennedy's litmus test
POS | NAME | OPP | FPPG | SALARY |
---|---|---|---|---|
C | Martin Maldonado (LAA) | vs. TOR | 4.7 | 34K |
SS | Corey Seager (LAD) | at ARI | 12.3 | 56K |
3B | Nolan Arenado (COL) | vs. SF | 14.5 | 73K |
OF | Charlie Blackmon (COL) | vs. SF | 10.5 | 63K |
P | Ian Kennedy (KC) | at TEX | 19.6 | 74K |
Kennedy has been a surprise this season, notching a 2.37 ERA with 19 strikeouts over 19 innings. The Rangers swing freely, but they are still a formidable offensive unit at home. Arenado and Blackmon could excel against LHP Matt Moore inside of Coors Field. Maldonado is a cheap play that could come across to score if he can get on base for the top of the Angels' lineup.
An Edwing sighting
POS | NAME | OPP | FPPG | SALARY |
---|---|---|---|---|
C | J.T. Realmuto (MIA) | at SD | 10.8 | 45K |
SS | Francisco Lindor (CLE) | at CWS | 14.6 | 51K |
1B | Edwin Encarnacion (CLE) | at CWS | 8.0 | 55K |
OF | Mike Trout (LAA) | vs. TOR | 14.7 | 69K |
P | Tyler Skaggs (LAA) | vs. TOR | 10.3 | 62K |
Encarnacion has busted out his patented home run trot only twice this season. Against SP Mike Pelfrey, though, Eddie's parrot could be out for a stroll. Trout continues to rake and should feast on Toronto SP Casey Lawrence, who is making his first major league start. Skaggs will come away with an easy victory if his offense does most of the work.
