DFS MLB Hitting Coach April 27

Matt Wieters:  Should be back in the lineup after sitting out last game.  Has taken Moore deep twice, and should be hitting in the middle of the lineup.

Nick Hundley:  Faces a left and in Coors tonight.  Like him more than Cervelli, but not a must play due to cold start.

Christian Vazquez:  If punting catcher, I like Vazquez if in the lineup.  Boston has a high run total, and Vazquez’s doubles can turn into a HR tonight.

Francisco Cervelli:  Recorded his first SB on the season last night, and thinking he can get first HR of the year tonight.  Safest cash game catcher of slate.

Mark Reynolds:  Pitt had the majority of long balls last night, and the Rockies have multiple players that can go deep tonight with Reynolds being one of them.  He is 6-15 with 2 HR’s vs Neise in his career.

David Ortiz:  Missed out on the Boston run parade last night, but will get his chance to contribute tonight against Norris.  He has already taken Norris deep twice, and thinking it will be for a third time tonight. Boston makes for a nice stack tonight.

John Jaso:  Mercer got the leadoff spot last night, and tonight will be Jaso’s turn.  Has hit safely in 9 of last 10 games.

Paul Goldschmidt:  Will be low owned due to high price, but Vegas has Arizona as favorites with a high run total.  Has also taken Wainwright deep before.  

Neil Walker:  Going back to the well with Walker tonight.  He hits most of his HR’s on the left side, and Met’s are in another nice position tonight.  Met’s make for sneaky stack tonight.

Starlin Castro:  Perez is a pitcher that can be picked on, and Yanks/Rangers have second highest total of night.  Castro has been batting in the middle of the order, and will have opportunity for a big night.

Jason Kipnis:  Many will say wait and see what the young Berrios will do, but I like the spot Kipnis is in tonight.  Second may be a punt play position tonight, and Kipnis can help make your GPP lineup different.

Jean Segura:  If going with Zona stack, Segura should be part of it.  If not, still take a look.  BvP special going 9-18 lifetime vs Wainwright

Todd Frazier:  Disappointed last night, so going back to him tonight as low owned GPP option.  Has taken Estrada deep twice in 14 AB’s.

Travis Shaw:  Won’t be as sneaky as last night, but in another great spot tonight vs Norris.  If stacking Boston, Shaw should be part of it.

Nolan Arenado:  Price is up there, but hard to pass up a lefty killer at Coors if you have the salary.

Justin Turner:  Dodgers offense should tee off vs Nicolino tonight so going back to Turner recommendation.  Will bat in heart of lineup and gets to face a lefty.

Elvis Andrus:  Just like Castro, Elvis will be in spot to produce in high total game.  Also, is 10-22 lifetime vs C.C.

Addison Russell:  Wind blowing in at Wrigley so not on the power hitter, but Russell makes for a GPP sneaky play if Cubs offense plays pepper with Jungman.

Xander Bogaerts:  If paying up, I like Bogaerts more than Story.  The Boston stack looks nice tonight,  and Xander has hit safely in six straight with four of those as multi-hit games.

Trevor Story:  Story will be popular play at home vs a lefty and he should be.  I feel his price his too high, but can’t argue against rostering him.

Adam Jones:  BvP special going 11-24 with two HR’s vs Moore.  Mini-stack with Wieters and Trumbo can be sneaky.

Nelson Cruz:  4-11 with two HR’s vs McHugh.  Dissapointed last night with only 2 singles, but makes for low owned GPP play tonight.

Michael Conforto:  Like him slightly more than Granderson tonight. Has multiple hits in 3 of last 4 games, and a double in 3 straight.

Ian Desmond:  Picking on C.C. with Rangers isn’t the worst idea, and Desmond seems to be heating up with 5 hits over last 3 games.  Should be batting in middle of lineup tonight.

Ryan Raburn:  Redemption game in Coors after being ejected in last game he played.  Not a must play, but always a HR threat vs a lefty.
