Fantasy Baseball Daily League Sleepers, Value Plays, & MLB Daily Lineup Decisions for Sat. Aug. 18th

by Michael Pichan (@FantasyNomad)

P Hector Santiago White Sox ($9,200, 9.2% of cap at Draft Kings- Play Now): The left-handed throwing Santiago should be able to nullify the big left-handed bats in the Twins lineup as he has only allowed two home runs to lefties, while allowing 12 to righties. Santiago has a road ERA of 2.72 compared to a 4.28 ERA at home and is striking out more than a batter an inning as a starter (104 K's in 99.1 starter innings).

OF Norichika Aoki Brewers ($7,900,7.9% of cap at Fan Throwdown- Play Now): L/R matchup versus Homer Bailey whom Aoki is hitting .308 off of in his career.

OF Matt Joyce Rays ($3,600, 7.2% of cap atDraft Kings- Play Now): L/R matchup versus a favorable righty matchup in Blue Jays Scott Richmond.

1B Adam Dunn White Sox ($8,350, 8.4% of cap Draft Day - Play Now ): L/R matchup versus Twins RHP Samuel Deduno whom Dunn went 2-for-3 the last time the two faced off.

2B Jose Altuve Astros ($3.800, 7.6% of capDraft Kings- Play Now): Went 3-for-3 the last time he faced Angels starter Jason Vargas. Also consider Cardinals rookie Kolten Wong.

SS Ryan Flaherty Orioles ($4,176, 4.2% of cap at Draft Street - Play Now): Flaherty could be viewed as a "punt" option at shortstop today at under 5% of your cap and all seven of his home runs have come off of right-handed pitching.

3B Matt Dominguez Astros ($2,800, 5.6% of cap Draft Kings- Play Now): Matt Dominguez went 2-for-2 the last time he faced Angels LHP Jason Vargas. Vargas making just his second start since coming off the disabled list.

C Hector Sanchez Giants ($2,200, 7.0% of cap at Fan Duel- Play Now): The switch-hitting Sanchez is batting sixth and will be facing the unimposing Marlins' starter Tom Koehler.
