Pittsburgh Pirates (Liriano) at Los Angeles Dodgers (Beckett)
Liriano has gone back to bad Liriano and that means good things for a lineup that struggles against left-handed pitching. This Pirates lineup hasn’t been better than average for nearly a couple weeks now so they’re mostly avoidable. There are guys that do very well against righties, though, particularly Ike.
Ike Davis (1B) – $5399
Beckett is nearly $18K and that’s a lot. I know, no-hitter and all that. With that said, I don’t expect anywhere near that kind of performance from Beckett. They do have guys that kill lefties, though, even if most of the lineup sucks against them. Hanley has been scuffling but as far as slump-busters go, Liriano is near the top of the list.
Hanley Ramirez (SS) – $6934
Scott van Slyke (OF) – $4515
