Pittsburgh Pirates (Rodriguez) at Cincinnati Reds (Bailey)
I know the Reds’ offense hasn’t been very good this year, but it seems like starting Wandy Rodriguez at Great American Ballpark is akin to taking a run at the Death Star without knowing about the exhaust intake weakness. The Pirates haven’t fared very well against Homer Bailey in the past, though, so I will probably stay away from most of their hitters as well.
Russell Martin (C) – $5470
Those looking for a stack tonight should probably look at Cincinnati; Wandy has been ripped by some of these players in the past (and fairly consistently) and perhaps this offense is just starting to roll (that is a complete guess). I also like Homer tonight for his price.
Homer Bailey (SP) – $15,256
Todd Frazier (3B) – $5225
