Los Angeles Dodgers (Haren) at Arizona Diamondbacks (Cahill)
Haren has looked very sharp so far this year and looks like the pitcher of four years ago, not last year. He’s going into a bee’s nest in Arizona, though, so it’s about how much risk can be afforded for this one. The prices against Cahill are a bit high, but justified.
Adrian Gonzales (1B) – $8198
Carl Crawford (OF) – $7481
Dan Haren (SP) – $16,086
I am not starting Cahill, maybe for the rest of the year (it’s a bit of hyperbole, but not really). There aren’t many D’Backs hitters with a track record against Haren so with the way he’s been pitching, combined with the lack of history, I will avoid most Arizona hitters today.
Aaron Hill (2B) – $4957
