Miami Marlins (Alvarez) at Washington Nationals (Gonzalez)
I am not really that high on Henderson Alvarez today, partly because he’s not likely to get the win but mostly this: There aren’t any significant samples against Nationals hitters, but most samples there are, the Nats have smashed the bejeezus out of Alvarez. I am avoiding Marlins bats against Gio, as well.
Gio is a very good option today at home against Miami but two things about this: He’s pretty expensive and he’s going to be widely owned. Those looking to separate themselves in GPPs should probably avoid him. I do like a lot of the Nationals hitters though.
Denard Span (OF) – $6161
Nate McLouth (OF) – $5334
