Los Angeles Angels (Shoemaker) at Kansas City Royals (Vargas)
I like Shoemaker a lot tonight. The Royals had a nice little run but now they have 19 runs in their last eight games. His price is exceptional so I think he’s close to a must-start tonight. Trout is a very good anchor (though insanely pricey). I’m not chasing against Vargas again, though. I’ve learned my lesson.
Matt Shoemaker (SP) – $12,930
Mike Trout (OF) – $10,050
Grant Green (OF) – $4118
Vargas has been solid but even at his price, I can’t trust him fully against the Angels. The only hitter that can probably be trusted from the Royals right now is Gordon. The rest are completely avoidable.
Alex Gordon (OF) – $6032
