Fantasy Baseball Daily League Sleepers, Value Plays, & MLB Daily Lineup Decisions for June 29th
by Michael Pichan (@FantasyNomad)
Â
P Ubaldo Jimenez Indians ($11,800, 11.8% of cap at Draft Day - Play Now): Ubaldo vs the White Sox or Joe Blanton vs the Astros, who ever is cheaper as their price tags vary across DFS. Both the White Sox and the Astros are low run producing teams that strike out often and both Ubaldo and Blanton have pitched better of late.
OF Josh Hamilton Angels ($62,000, 6.2% of cap at Daily Joust - Play Now): Hamilton has thrived off of Houston pitching this season going 11-for-38 (.289) with four home runs, a triple, and two doubles this season and is hitting over .430 the last seven days.
OF Marcell Ozuna Marlins ($7,095, 7.1% of cap at Draft Street - Play Now): Ozuna has a seven game hit streak going with three mutlti-hit games in that span with four doubles and a home run. The RHH Ozuna went 2-for-3 with a double the last time he faced LHP Eric Stults.
OF Nate Schierholtz Cubs ($7,400, 7.4% of cap at Draft Day - Play Now): Schierholtz is hitting .294 with 11 home runs off of right-handed pitching and he gets RHP Homer Harang tonight.
1B Justin Morneau Twins ($3,100, 7.1% of cap at Fan Duel - Play Now): Morneau his hitting .333 over his last seven days and gets the L/R matchup against Wade Davis and his near five ERA and over 12% HR/FB rate.
2B Neil Walker Pirates ($7,300, 7.3% of cap Draft Day - Play Now): Walker is batting .438 with a slugging over .800 the last seven games and will face Brewers Donovan Hand today.
3B Pablo Sandoval Giants ($4,560, 4.6% of cap at Draft Street - Play Now): For all the reasons I laid out yesterday, and I believe it is unlikely he will have two unproductive games in a row in Colorado.
SS Pedro Florimon Twins ($3,500, 7.0% of cap at Draft Kings - Play Now): Florimon hits better from the left side of the plate and gets a favorable matchup versus Royals RHP Wade Davis. Others that I like include J.J. Hardy vs Phelps, Zack Cozart vs Tepesch, and Jordy Mercer vs D. Hand
C Sal Perez Royals ($3,100, 8.9% of cap at Fan Duel - Play Now): Love Mauer today vs Wade Davis, but if he's out of your price range at 10-12% of cap consider the catcher across the diamond from Mauer, Sal Perez who will be facing rookie Kyle Gibson today. Perez has the highest average of any regular catcher over the past seven days along with three extra-base hits in those six games
