Tampa Bay Rays (Moore) at Kansas City Royals (Vargas)
This is another game that could be threatened to get rained out, though judging by the forecast it might just get a later start.
Matt Moore has had a lot of trouble with the Royals in his limited showing against them, with an ERA over 6.00 and a WHIP over 1.80 in two career starts. There isn’t one particular player that has killed him, but as a team they have hit .347 off of him with seven extra-base hits. There aren’t many Rays I am high on right now but for one.
Ben Zobrist (2B) – $6403
I am probably never taking Jason Vargas in DFS this year and that streak will continue tonight. One interesting note about him from last year is that no left-handers hit a home run off of him, so regardless of if they start or not, guys like James Loney and Matt Joyce can hit the bricks. There are good, cheap right-handed options for the Royals in this one, though.
Alcides Escobar (SS) – $3356
Danny Valencia (3B) – $5786
