Texas Rangers (Harrison) at Houston Astros (Keuchel)
Sure, Matt Harrison has a nice ERA in his three starts since returning from injury (2.87) but he’s also giving up over a hit per inning and has as many walks as strikeouts. It’s only Houston, but at his price ($16.8K) I think I’ll stay away for this one. I’m not going to target too many Texas hitters against Dallas Keuchel today, though.
Alex Rios (OF) – $7074
Keuchel has pitched very well so far this year and he has a very nice price today. The problem is that the Rangers are a top-5 team (as of today) against lefties this year and that’s a pretty big concern. I’ll have him in GPP lineups but will probably shy away from cash games. I’m not high on many Houston hitters either.
Jose Altuve (2B) – $7155
