Tampa Bay Rays (Archer) at Baltimore Orioles (Chen)
Some may shy away from pitchers going into Camden Yards, but so far this year Archer has done an exceptional job at getting the ball on the ground (57.1-percent in this young season). If he can keep that number anywhere close to that at least for tonight, he stands to be a very good value for his price. Zobrist has a good track record against Chen so I’ll have him in most of my lineups, too.
Chris Archer (SP) – $14,398
Ben Zobrist (2B) – $6066
Grant Balfour (P) – $2399
Considering most pitchers tonight are fairly cheap, I’ll look for better options than Chen pitching at home. I don’t know if I’m very excited to target Orioles hitters going up against Archer, either. I’d rather just look for cheap values to help with GPP lineups.
J.J. Hardy (SS) – $4646
