Seattle Mariners (Elias) at Oakland Athletics (Chavez)
Roenis Elias will make his first career start and it owners just need to know that he’s a decent strikeout arm with walks-and-home-runs problems. He’s also never pitched in AAA. I would say this might be a good game for the Athletics bats to feast. Also, no player has more than four at bats in their career against Oakland starter Jesse Chavez, so we’re going into this one a little blindly.
Dustin Ackley (OF) – $5399
Oakland scored 10 runs yesterday so it was nice to see them get the bats going. With the uncertainty in the Boston game as far as rain goes, I don’t mind Oakland as a back-up stack team tonight. I can see the risk/reward in Chavez tonight but I would probably avoid using him.
Coco Crisp (OF) – $6620
Yoenis Cespedes (OF) – $8216
Jed Lowrie (SS) – $6064
