Houston Astros (McHugh) at Kansas City Royals (Guthrie)
McHugh is actually averaging over a strikeout an inning this year which is good. The Royals strike out the least against righties of all teams in the MLB, though, so his realistic upside is limited tonight. Not a bad choice, but not a target of mine. George Springer is on a tear but I’m not sure how much his strikeout is conducive to consistency.
George Springer (OF) – $7621
Marwin Gonzalez (3B) – $3347
Even against the Astros, I don’t trust Guthrie (they did tag him for four earned in six innings back in April). The only Royals hitters I really trust for tonight are in the outfield and even then I’m not too excited about them at all.
Lorenzo Cain (OF) – $5253
