Los Angeles Dodgers (Beckett) at Cincinnati Reds (Leake)
Beckett might still have some name recognition because of his no hitter, but he also has a 1.55 WHIP with three home runs allowed in his two starts since then. Not that the Reds are to be feared but Beckett isn’t as good as some might think he is and certainly not at a price that puts him on par with Hisashi Iwakuma. Matt Kemp is starting to heat up so he should be in a lot of lineups.
Matt Kemp (OF) – $4391
Leake has pitched well this year but I just can’t start him against the Dodgers. I’m not going after many Reds hitters tonight except for maybe Bruce, who has had a decent week and may be starting to finally come around.
Jay Bruce (OF) – $5792
Billy Hamilton (OF) – $5558
