San Diego Padres (Ross) at Seattle Mariners (Young)
Tyson Ross is slowly turning into a top-tier pitcher in baseball, certainly no worse than a number-2 on just about any team. He’s an auto-start for me tonight. There might be concerns about his home/away splits but it’s not like the Mariners are bashers and they play in a nice pitcher’s park. As continues to be the case, Seth Smith is probably the only bat worth taking a look at.
Tyson Ross (SP) – $16,569
Seth Smith (OF) – $5566
I’m just staying away from the Mariners tonight. I don’t mind Young as a GPP pitcher tonight, he does have a good match-up and pitches much better at home than on the road. He just doesn’t strike enough guys out for him to be appealing in a cash game. The bats are a complete pass.
