 Today's Discounts:
  • P Mark Buherle Blue Jays ($255,000, 25.5% of cap at  Daily Joust - Play Now ): Originally was thinking Angels Jerome Williams, but his price tag has caught up to his recent success (top 3-5 SP at most sites 37% of cap). Buherle has allowed just three runs in his last two starts and struck out 12 (13 IP). Buherle gets a Padres team that has the sixth lowest average versus left-handed pitching in all of baseball. (Game Time 10:10 pm est)
  • OF Alfonso Soriano Cubs ($6,401, 6.4% of cap at Draft Street - Play Now ): Is 6-for-16 (.545) with three home runs and a double versus Ian Kennedy and is coming off a 10 plus Fantasy Point game Friday. (Game Time: 7:15 pm est)
  • OF Alex Presley Pirates ($3,200, 7.1% of cap at Fan Duel - Play Now): Good time for Presley to get called up as he 6-for-15 (.400) with two home runs and four total extra base hits off of Mike Leake in his career. Another bonus is that Presley is batting lead off tonight. (Game Time 8:10 pm est)
  • OF/1B Mike Carp Red Sox ($6,400, 6.4% of cap at Draft Day - Play Now ): Carp is batting in the two-hole and is 4-for-8 with a home run off of Phil Hughes in his career. (Game Time 7:15 pm est)
  • 2B Neil Walker Pirates ($4,900, 8.2% of cap at Fan Throwdown - Play Now): Walker is hitting .393 with three home runs, a double, triple and two walks in his last 28 at-bats. (Game Time 7:15 pm est)
  • SS Andrelton Simmons Braves ($2,800, 8.0% of cap at Fan Duel - Play Now):  Is 4-for-9 with two home runs and a double off of the lefty Gio Gonzalez in his short career. (Game Time: 7:15 pm est).
  • 3B Todd Frazier Reds ($7,185, 6.5% of cap at Draft Street - Play Now): Frazier has been in a funk of late, but I like the discount and the R/L matchup against Francisco Liriano who is due for some regression in his 0.0% HR/FB rate. (Game Time 7:15  pm est)
  • C Welington Castillo Cubs ($53,000,5.3% of cap at Daily Joust - Play Now): If you are looking for a punt option at catcher Castillo is your guy. When looking for a respecdtable "punt" option I look for a couple things: 1) a catcher that doesn't bat 8th or 9th. 2) hitter friendly park 3) Does Vegas see the game to be a high-scoring affair and 4) any BvP and/or L/R, R/L type matchup. Well Castillo fits three of the four things I look for. (Game Time 7:15 pm est)
