Houston Astros (Peacock) at Oakland Athletics (Chavez)
Brad Peacock will be making his first start of the season, and he’s a nice arm with some upside. I think his price should be a lot lower than it is, though, so I will just avoid him for today. Especially because he might not be fully stretched out just yet. I will be avoiding Astros hitters against Jesse Chavez today, as well.
Chavez has looked very, very good so far this year and for some reason his price tag is still fairly cheap. I think it’s fair to say that he’ll have a very high ownership rate today, but those that avoid him will be losing out on a lot of value regardless. Josh Reddick is really starting to heat up as well, making him a nice value today.
Jesse Chavez (SP) – $14,802
Josh Reddick (OF) – $4624
