Toronto Blue Jays (Dickey) at Detroit Tigers (Porcello)
As always, Dickey is avoidable (or a large GPP play at best). The lefty bats, as usual, are a good play though I might lean Francisco. The big guys are always a good play though I may lean Bautista. Aside from last night, manager John Gibbons has had a habit of batting Encarnacion fifth.
Juan Francisco (3B) – $5555
Jose Bautista (OF) – $8687
Porcello has pitched well this year but two things: he’s currently sporting a three-year high in both line drive rate and fly ball rate. That’s not going to play well against the Jays. With Dickey on the mound, I’m not going crazy over Detroit hitters. If they’re not cheap, I’ll avoid.
Rajai Davis (OF) – $6266
