Small 7 game slate and I have 2 pitchers that I have listed. Both are in the value range, which allows more higher priced bats. Means has the potential for 20+ FPs in this matchup tonight and Pruitt could see 15-18.
PITCHERS
VALUE ARMS
Jon Means
Means has done a good job limiting power and HC to hitters from both sides of the plate. In his last 2 starts Means went 14 innings allowing 3 runs and striking out 11 hitters. Tonight he gets a Rangers team that struggles vs LHP and strikes out at a 26% clip. Looking at 6 innings, 1 ER and 7Ks.
Austin Pruitt
Over the last 2 games Pruitt has pitched 5+ innings and thrown around 80 pitches in each. He has been much better to LHHs limiting them in most categories and striking them out at a 25% clip. Keeps the ball on the ground around 50% of the time. Tonight he faces a Blue Jays Teams that has been cold as of late with a .216 average, 26% K rate and ranked 25th in HRs vs RHP over the last 14 days.
TEAM/S
Boston Red Sox vs Martin Perez
Perez started out the season well, but has been all over the place as of late. Red Sox hit well vs LHP and should tee off on him tonight. Mookie Betts leads the way with Bogaerts coming in next. JD Martinez has crushed LHP this year as well and Sam Travis has shown to hit LHP as well.
*Betts, Bogaerts, Martinez, Travis, JBJ or Leon
Chicago Cubs vs Chase Anderson
Anderson is a reverse splits pitcher who gets hammered by RHH’s. Can look at players like Castellanos, Baez. Bryant, Contreras and would add in Rizzo.
Low Ownership Baltimore Orioles
Os are hitting .319 vs LHP over the past 14 days. They have 5 hitters with a .200+ ISO.
*Mancini, Trumbo, Santander, Severino
Few combos and one offs
*Ryan Braun/Yasmani Grandal
*Max Kepler/Polanco or Rosario/Cron
*Josh Bell
