Daily League Sleepers: U-ball\'n Jimenez

Fantasy Baseball Daily League Sleepers, Value Plays, & MLB Daily Lineup Decisions for Fri. Aug. 23rd

by Michael Pichan (@FantasyNomad)

P Ubaldo Jimenez Indians has allowed two or fewer runs in each of his last five starts good for a 2.12 ERA, is coming off a one-hitter vs the A's and is facing a Maur-less Twins lineup. Twins have lost seven of last 10 and Deduno has an ERA over 7 for his last three starts and has been battling bicep tendinitis.

OF Carl Crawford Dodgers ($7,100, 7.1% of cap at Fan Throwdown- Play Now): Crawford has a hit in five straight games and is 21-for-45 with two home runs off Lackey over his career.

1B Anthony Rizzo Cubs  ($2,600, 7.4% of cap at Fan Duel- Play Now): All of our hitting projection algorithms have Adams in the green (just hover over his name here http://www.rotoinfo.com/?game=lineup )

2B Kolten Wong Cardinals ($6,100, 6.1% of cap Draft Day- Play Now): L/R matchup versus Kris Medlen, price has increased some but still very reasonable.

SS Jordy Mercer Pirates  is a punt option who is playing well, .368 (7-for-19) with a home run over his last five games

3B Brett Lawrie Blue Jays ($7,111, 7.1% of cap Draft Street - Play Now): Lawrie batting almost .400 in August and has hit safely in 22 of his last 24 games. Lawrie is 2-for-3 with a double and a home run in his career vs Lyles who has a home ERA over 6.50. A deeper discount to consider would be Indians Lonnie Chisenhall

C Carlos Ruiz Phillies ($2,500, 7.0% of cap at Fan Duel- Play Now): Moved down to fifth in the order, which should increase his RBI opportunities.
