Cincinnati Reds (Simon) at Los Angeles Dodgers (Greinke)
Seven of nine Simon starts have resulted in two earned runs or less and five of nine in one earned run or less. I would start him tonight against most teams but the Dodgers aren’t one of them. If I can fit him in the budget I don’t mind Mesoraco but there aren’t many good hitters to target against Greinke otherwise.
Devin Mesoraco (C) – $5884
Greinke is at a discount today and I’m not sure why. It seems fishy but I just can’t say no to him tonight. I’m not excited about their hitters facing Simon, though, so I will probably shy away from the expensive hitters.
Zack Greinke (SP) – $20,498
Matt Kemp (OF) – $5439
