San Francisco Giants (Cain) at Los Angeles Dodgers (Greinke)
Cain had a bad year last year but he still managed OK numbers against the Dodgers, posting a 3.64 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in five starts. But considering how he looked in his first outing, and the fact that those really aren’t that great of numbers, I will avoid Cain today. I would avoid Giants hitters against Greinke, as well.
One guy that has absolutely worn out Cain in the past is Andre Ethier; in 68 career at-bats against him, Ethier is batting .441 (though only one home run). I would look for a couple cheap options to round out GPPs as well.
Andre Ethier (OF) – $5959
Juan Uribe (3B) – $4652
Good luck and here’s today’s lineup!
