Oakland Athletics (Milone) at Boston Red Sox (Lester)
Tommy Milone hasn’t pitched well since his first start of the year and I don’t want to bank on him turning it around at Fenway. Lester has pitched well enough that I’m not really enthused about the A’s bats today, though there I’m interested in their catcher.
Derek Norris (C) – $5115
Lester has a price that makes him a top-5 pitcher today but I think I’d rather shell out a bit of extra cash and get either Tanaka or Wacha. The Sox don’t have many hitters that have killed lefty pitching so far this season but there are a couple of nice values in those who have/traditionally do.
Xander Bogaerts (SS) – $5691
Jonny Gomes (OF) – $5885
