Texas Rangers (Saunders) at Los Angeles Angels (Richards)
Saunders is a pass tonight. The same goes for most of their hitters. I don’t have a ton of faith for the rest of the season in Richards but until he starts to regress (maybe he doesn’t) I’m going to stay away from the bats tonight here for Texas.
Mike Trout has just gone bananas and if there’s any way to get him in lineups, he’s a must-start. There are other guys on this team that I love tonight too and they are much cheaper than the Rockies stack. This makes the Angels ideal for a stack tonight. I don’t mind Richards tonight, either, but will probably go with Shields at that price point.
Mike Trout (LAA-OF) – $9522
Erick Aybar (LAA-SS) – $5577
Howie Kendrick (LAA-2B) – $4922
