Houston Astros (McHugh) at Minnesota Twins (Deduno)
I’ll be avoiding both pitchers in this one.
The Astros have cooled off a bit, averaging a shade over 3.5 runs per game in the last seven games. They have a good match-up in Deduno but there aren’t a lot of hitters I’m excited about regardless.
The Twins, conversely, are averaging just a bit under 5.5 runs per game in their last seven games and that could bring a lot of value to today’s lineup. I’m not a believer in McHugh and many of the Twins hitters have pretty good prices today. They are solid for a GPP stack and I will otherwise have at least one of them in a lot of lineups.
Dexter Fowler (HOU-OF) – $5999
Oswaldo Arcia (MIN-OF) – $6324
Joe Mauer (MIN-1B) – $4085
Eduardo Escobar (MIN-SS) – $3140
