Kansas City Royals (Vargas) at Seattle Mariners (Maurer)

Vargas is one of my favorite starters today. His price puts him as a very cheap third option while the Mariners just are not a good team against lefty starters. I’m not overly excited for the Royals hitters, even against Brandon Maurer.

Eric Hosmer (1B) – $6722

Alex Gordon (OF) – $5775

Jason Vargas (SP) – $11,758

I will be avoiding the Mariners altogether today. Maurer hasn’t proven to be a competent starter yet and the Mariners don’t offer up anything special against the lefty Vargas.

Good luck and here’s today’s lineup!
