by Michael Pichan (@FantasyNomad)

P Chad Gaudin Giants- ($5,000, 10.0% of cap Draft Kings- Play Now ):Gaudin is 5-2 on the season with a 2.64 ERA over 81.2 innings. Gaudin has a home ERA of just 1.96 at home while opponents are hitting just .209 with no home runs.
OF Andy Dirks Tigers ($5,069, 5.0% of cap at Draft Street - Play Now): The left-handed hitting Dirks is batting sixth and has a home run off the right-handed Indians starter Corey Kluber
OF Oswaldo Arcia Twins ($7,400, 7.4% of cap at Fan Throwdown - Play Now): Arcia is batting fifth for the Twins and you get the L/R matchup versus the righty Jeremy Guthrie
1B Paul Konerko White Sox ($2,400, 8.4% of cap Fan Duel- Play No ): Konerko is 13-for-35 (.371) with two home runs in his career off of Andy Pettitte.
2B Marco Scutaro Giants ($2,400, 5.5% of cap Fan Duel- Play Now): Scutaro is batting leadoff and gets a favorable matchup versus Brewers Tyler Thornburg.
SS Jurickson Profar Rangers ($5,300, 5.3% of cap at Draft Day - Play Now): The switch-hitting Profar and the Rangers are facing struggling Angels starter Jerome Williams
3B Alex Rodriguez Yankees ($3,000, 6.0% of cap Draft Kings- Play Now): I am not a personal fan of A-Roids, but on a night with so few games he is worth considering, mainly at Draft Kings where his price tag has started off low, especially compared to other sites where he is closer to 9% of your cap. Rodriguez, as I'm sure you have heard, is batting fourth and will face left-hander Jose Quintana in hitter friendly Cellular Park.
C Ryan Doumit Twins ($2,700, 7.8% of cap at Fan Duel- Play Now): Doumit was the top hitting catcher, in terms of average at .364, over the last seven days going into yesterday's game and has a favorable matchup versus Royals Jeremy Guthrie
