San Francisco Giants (Cain) at Chicago White Sox (Danks)
I’m avoiding both pitchers here tonight. Cain is mediocre and Danks, while he has pitched better of late, is getting a team that is tied for fifth in the National League in wRC+ against lefties this year.
The Giants have their fair share of players that have hit lefties well this year but Brandon Crawford leads the team in wRC+ against LHP at 192 (no other position player is above 150). His price and match-up make him nearly a must-start today. Adam Eaton is on a good little tear for the White Sox right now but other than him, there aren’t guys I’m really targeting from this lineup.
Hunter Pence (SF-OF) – $7531
Brandon Crawford (SF-SS) – $5414
Adam Eaton (CWS-OF) – $5892
Adam Dunn (CWS-DH) – $5437
