BUY ‘EM
Starlin Castro (10-for-21, 4 extra-base hits) and Anthony Rizzo (8-for-19, 4 HRs) are both worth the money today against Wily Peralta.
Jacoby Ellsbury (6-for-13) and Brett Gardner (5-for-12, 3 XBH) have both hit well against Wei-Yin Chen.
Coco Crisp (8-for-25) and Josh Reddick (7-for-21, 3 XBH) have both had a decent amount of success against Jeremy Guthrie.
Tommy Medica has been a lefty-killing specialist all year (.305/.359/.559), so he’s worth a stream against Yohan Flande.
Here’s a real sleeper: Jordy Mercer. He’s hitting .333/.366/.483 against lefties this year and faces southpaw Robbie Ray today.
SELL ‘EM
Alberto Callaspo (3-for-21), John Jaso (4-for-21) and Sam Fuld (1-for-11) have all struggled against Guthrie.
Billy Butler (4-for-25, 9 Ks) and Alex Gordon (3-for-22, 8 Ks) haven’t hit well against Jon Lester.
Casey McGehee has just one hit in 15 career at-bats against Adam Wainwright.
Pablo Sandoval is hitting just .197/.250/.336 against lefties this year, and he faces one of the best today in Chris Sale.
Adrian Gonzalez has a .498 OPS against lefties this year, so don’t pay too much for him against Mike Minor.
