Garrett Cooper, Miami 1B/OF ($3.5K on DK, $2.5K on FD)
Hitting third since returning from the injured list, Cooper gets at-bats tonight against David Price as the bulk reliever in a bullpen game by the Dodgers. Averaging a home run every 14 at-bats against southpaws this season, Cooper carries a .321 average versus left-handed pitching with a .250 isolated power and a .959 on-base plus slugging percentage into this match-up. Do not fret as the bullpen cycles through, he's also hitting .333 for the season in Miami with four of his seven home runs. Giddy up.
Pavin Smith, Arizona 1B/OF ($2.8K on DK, $2.6K on FD)
Another multi-eligible player in a potential smash spot facing Antonio Senzatela at home. Outside of Coors, Senzatela gives up a .458 weighted on-base average (wOBA) to left-handed hitters and 14 of the 24 hits against him result in extra-bases. Smith rakes at home versus right-handed pitching owning a .317/.358/.538 slash line with seven doubles, two triples and four home runs driving in 11 over 116 plate appearances this year. Priced to produce, take advantage of a sneaky productive game in Arizona tonight.
Gavin Lux, Los Angeles Dodgers SS ($2.7K on DK, $2.3 on FD)
Bargains across the board this evening and the Marlins also plan on using a bullpen approach in tonight's match-up. David Hess opens up the game on the mound and Jordan Holloway could be the bulk arm in relief. Lux owns his best split advantage facing right-handed pitching on the road, batting .305 with four doubles, two triples and a home run over 108 plate appearances.
Alex Dickerson, San Francisco OF ($2.8K on DK, $2.9K on FD)
Gets Johan Oviedo (6.20 road ERA, 15.7 BB% versus right-handed hitters) in a sneaky spot at home tonight. Dickerson's been a bit boom or bust of late but popped two home runs in 14 plate appearances this month fueling a .462 isolated power. Hitting clean-up against the Cardinals, who enter this game with a tired bullpen, could end up in a lopsided Giants win and a Dickerson dong with everyone chasing runs in Baltimore.

Reese McGuire, Toronto C ($3.1K)
Speaking of Toronto bats, they face Matt Harvey in Camden Yards in tonight's highest run total on the slate. McGuire hits .314 against right-handed pitching this year with an on-base rate at 36 percent. He's also 2-for-4 with two doubles versus Harvey this year and if the humidity holds, could launch a home run on the road in a tasty match-up.

LaMonte Wade Jr., San Francisco 1B/OF ($2.9K)
Will lead-off in tonight's game and hit five of his seven home runs versus right-handed pitching in his home park. Since he sometimes leaves games for a pinch-hitter, Wade Jr. comes in below Dickerson in the recommendations but do not overlook his .364 isolated power against right-handed pitching at home or his .991 OPS. Pretty, pretty good. There's two-to-three times value lurking here even if he only accrues three plate appearances.
Brendan Rodgers, Colorado 2B ($2.8K)
Finally reaching his past prospect potential, Rodgers racked up two doubles while driving in a run last night and gets a southpaw in Arizona this evening. He's hitting .304/.381/.536 his last 15 contests with two home runs and seven RBI. In a limited sample, he also owns a robust .462 average on the road facing southpaws with two of his six hits resulting in home runs.
