Today we are back to a full-slate of action in the majors.
We have fifteen games, one pitcher I want to use and tons of gas cans.
I think pitching is a mess outside of Chris Sale, so we all probably need a little luck on our side with who we choose as SP2 tonight.
I am not beating around the bush tonight so let’s get to tonight’s Index options.
Wil Myers – 1B – San Diego Padres – $3,900
Analysis: Sal Romano’s days are numbered. He’s the Reds’ starting pitcher tonight against the surging Padres. Myers is a reverse-splits hitter facing a guy who allows a .367 wOBA this season. Myers has a .327 woOBA, a .216 ISO and a 37% hard contact rate. This game is at the Great American Smallpark, too, so the Padres might be a sneaky option as a stack tonight.
Daniel Murphy – 2B – Washington Nationals – $5,200
Analysis: Will he or will Rick Grimes not play tonight. We were in this spot last week, and Murphy was not in the lineup at nearly $1,000 cheaper. It was nauseating. Will he be in the lineup tonight? Will the Nationals play? Is there rain in the forecast? I digress though as Murphy owns Vance Worley with a .545 average (12-for-22) with 2 doubles and a triple with 2 walks.
