Chicago Cubs (Hammel) at Pittsburgh Pirates (Cumpton)
*Check the weather before game time for this game.
Jason Hammel has just been carving up most of the opposition that he’s faced this year and he doesn’t have a bad match up tonight against the Pirates. Rizzo seems like he’s a pretty safe bet tonight if he can fit into budgets, but I also like Starlin Castro’s price tonight. The shortstop is one of my top plays at SS for today.
Jason Hammel (SP) – $15,998
Anthony Rizzo (1B) – $8054
Starlin Castro (SS) – $5424
This just doesn’t look like a good night for the Pirates. Cumpton is avoidable and they face a pitcher who had just four earned runs and two walks in 13.2 innings against them earlier in the season.
