Yesterday the Nationals picked up their 6th win in a row as they beat the Mets. Â Bryce Harper is having an unreal season, proving he deserves the biggest contract in MLB history this offseason. Â The O’s beat the Red Sox, taking Wright out of the game by the 3rd inning. Â The back end of Boston’s rotation is sketchy, and they better pray for David Price to get back soon. Â Aaron Judge destroyed a ball 457 feet to help lead the Yankees big over the Pirates. Â The Yankee prospects are legit, and the league should watch out. Series are wrapping up today and we have a ton of afternoon games. Â Make sure you get your lineups in early if you want players in those games
Low-Scoring Play
Washington Nationals @ New York Mets – Scherzer vs. Wheeler should be the pitching matchup of the day. Â Without Cespedes I don’t fear the Mets lineup at all. Â Reyes and Granderson – who should be the spark plugs getting on base – are both batting under .200. Â Duda is striking out a ton – he’s now on the DL – and Bruce is a streaky hitter. Â The Nationals should win their 7th in a row as Harper leads the league in batting average. Â Usually I build my teams around two pitchers I like and cut cost on position players if needed. Â I might just start building my team around Harper, he’s that good.
Targets: Scherzer. Harper
High-Scoring Play
Boston Red Sox @ Baltimore Orioles – At this point unless its Sale pitching, anyone can score runs on Boston. Â The Orioles have been hitting a ton of home runs as their offense is looking good. Â They should take advantage of the Red Sox young pitcher, Rodriguez. Machado is batting just over .200 this year, he is a better hitter than that, look for him to start to pick it up and get on base.
Targets: Trumbo, Machado, Davis
Undervalued Plays
Giancarlo Stanton – MIA – OF – Stanton isn’t cheap, however he is undervalued. Â If you’re struggling to make a line up and can’t fit players like Harper, Betts, or Braun, look for Stanton, he is about $800-$1000 less and has just as many homeruns as them. Â Jackie Bradley Jr. costs more than Stanton, if you ask me I’m taking Staton 9 times out of 10 over him.
Aaron Judge – NYY – OF – Judge has been performing well for the Yankees. Â He is right behind Harper and Stanton in home run totals which is incredible to do. Â He only costs $ 3700 and could easily have a multi HR game.
