Brian McCann- C- ATL- Idea- McCann didn't start last night's game so that means it's highly likely he will be in this afternoon's lineup. That gives him a good matchup with his .302/.353/.500 slash line against RH pitchers in his...

Colin Moran- 3B- PIT- Idea- Moran's slash line against RH pitching is solid at .270/.331/.460. With Brandon Woodruff's .279/.350/.415 career slash line against LH hitters, Moran is a bargain at his price. Value Play- Draft Kings salary $3500 JT Riddle-...

Ramon Laureano- OF- OAK- Idea- Laureano is riding a 7-game hitting streak in which he has gone 10-for-26. He has also exhibited some reverse splits. Against RH hitting he has a slash line of 263/.317/.414. Mike Leake has had challenges...

Melky Cabrera- OF- PIT- Idea- Cabrera has been successful no matter which hand the ball is coming at him from, but against southpaws he is slashing .351/.368/.541. This bodes well for him facing Eric Lauer and the .287/.346/.496 slash line...

Jhoulys Chacin- P- MIL- Idea- Chacin will be facing an injury-depleted Washington lineup that leans heavily righthanded. This plays into Chacin's strength. Last season he owned a .178/.244/.284 slash line against RH hitting. This year it is .235/.307/.426, not as...

Justin Bour- 1B- LAA- Idea- Bour hit 18 of his 20 homers last year against RH pitching. His slash line against them was .242/.356/.463. Heading into last night's game he had slugged 3 homers in 64 ABs against righties. Aaron...

Jorge Polanco- SS- MIN- Idea- The switch-hitting Polanco had a .317/.387/.457 slash line against RH pitchers in 2018 and has started even hotter against them against this year (.371/.430/.743.) Facing Dylan Bundy who posted a .319/.385/.553 slash line against LH...

Yan Gomes- C- WAS- Idea- Gomes posted a slash line of .288/.363/.477 against southpaws in 2018. Drew Pomeranz was .301/.401/.546 against RH hitters. Pomeranz allowed 12 homers in 57.1 IP against them, all the homers he gave up last year....

Yan Gomes- C- WAS- Idea- Gomes posted a slash line of .288/.363/.477 against southpaws in 2018. Drew Pomeranz was .301/.401/.546 against RH hitters. Pomeranz allowed 12 homers in 57.1 IP against them, all the homers he gave up last year....

Greg Bird- 1B- NYY- Idea- Bird has had reverse splits for the last 3 seasons and in the small sample of 2019 that trend has continued. So far he is posting a slash line of .286/.375/.714 against LH pitchers after...

Ben Zobrist- 2B- CHC- Idea- Last year, the switch-hitting Zobrist posted a .295/.377/.452 slash line against RH pitching. Jameson Taillon had a .265/.334/.403 slash line against LH hitting. This matchup falls in Zobrist's favor, and his price and flexibility at...

Dylan Bundy- P- BAL- Idea- Could the Orioles end up actually winning the first series of the year with the Yankees? Part of that depends on whether Bundy can overcome his wretched spring (7.89 ERA) and perform as he did...

Looking around the camps of the Orioles, Brewers, and Rangers There were a couple breakout players for the Brewers, one from the bullpen and one at 1B. Josh Hader had shown a flash of what was to come in 2017,...

Notes and News from around Spring Training camps Rotate Out the Barrel Milwaukee has a fairly long list of pitchers to fill out their 2019 rotation, but there are still question marks out there. The Brewers didn't sign and free...

Looking around the camps of the Orioles, Brewers, and Rangers In a team flush with youngsters, there are a few veterans left in the Orioles' camp. Chris Davis is perhaps the one with the most to prove. His season of...

Ryan Braun- OF- MIL- Idea- Braun has had a power surge recently, with 5 homers in his last 4 games, and has a .250/.347/.532 slash line against southpaws for the season. Daniel Norris has allowed 6 homers in 31.1 IP...

Harrison Bader- OF- STL- Idea- In 109 ABs against LH pitching, Bader has a .303/.381/.532 slash line and 5 homers. Andrew Suarez has had some issues against RH hitters, with a .277/.338/.500 slash line against them. Value play- Draft Kings...

Ryan Borucki- P- TOR- Idea- The Orioles are 26th in MLB in OPS against southpaws. A couple of their best performers this season against LH pitchers (Manny Machado and Danny Valencia) are no longer with the team. This gives Borucki...

Billy McKinney- OF- TOR- Idea- Entering last night's game, McKinney had 3 homers in 45 ABs against RH pitching since joining Toronto. His slash line against RH pitchers as a Blue Jay was .356/.444/.644. ON the mound will be Adam...

Trevor Cahill- P- OAK- Idea- When he has pitched in the pitcher-friendly Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum this season he has looked like the second coming of Cy Young. With a .156/.215/.247 slash line and 0.85 ERA there has been a sharp...

Maikel Franco- 3B- PHI- Idea- Franco has had success against RH pitchers, with a .292/.329/.515 slash line against them. The matchup against Marco Estrada and his .280/.333/.538 slash line with 14 homers allowed in 64.1 IP against RH hitters is...

Evan Longoria- 3B- SF- Idea- Longoria has a .299/.339/.547 slash line with 7 homers in 117 ABs against southpaws. He has a good chance of improving those numbers facing Martin Perez. The Rangers' lefty has allowed 13 runs in his...

Tony Kemp- OF- HOU- Idea- Kemp has a .289/.378/.461 slash line against RH pitching. Felix Hernandez hasn't thrown a quality start since June 25th and has a slash line of .254/.331/.522 against LH hitters, with 12 homers allowed in 59...

Omar Narvaez- C- CHW- Idea- Narvaez owns a .300/.364/.453 slash line against RH pitchers. The recently-traded Lance Lynn has posted a .293/.404/.470 slash line against LH hitters this season. Give Narvaez an edge in this matchup. Value play- Draft Kings...

Gerardo Parra- OF- COL- Idea- Although he has been cold recently, Parra still owns a slash line of .325/.378/.450 against RH pitching. Frankie Montas brings a .286/.345/.515 slash line against LH hitters to Colorado. This gives a distinct edge to...

Ben Zobrist- 2B- CHC- Idea- Zobrist owns a .302/.409/.462 slash line against RH pitchers. This bodes well in his matchup against Luis Castillo and his .280/.351/.525 slash line against LH hitters. Zobrist's availability for the OF is a plus. Value...

Adeiny Hechavarria- SS- TB- Idea- Hechavarria has feasted on southpaws this season, to the tune of a .373/.411/.392 slash line against them. Wei-Yin Chen has been largely ineffective against RH hitters, with a slash line of .307/.398/.543 facing them. A...

Bartolo Colon- P- TEX- Idea- Yes, Colon has been hit hard in 2 of his last 3 starts, but he seems to be in a pattern of a solid start following a bad one. His last one was 8 runs...

Gerardo Parra- OF- COL- Idea- Parra has been swinging a hot bat of late. With a slash line of .326/.364/.432 against RH pitching he is in a great position to keep his streak going. He will be facing Zach Godley...

Austin Romine- C- NYY- Idea- Romine has been getting some fairly frequent playing time and has made the most of it. He currently has a 10-game hitting streak that goes back to April 30. He has a .382/.500/.618 slash line...

Christian Villanueva- SD- 3B- Idea- Villanueva has been hot of late and his price is not reflecting that. He has three multi-hit games in his last four contests with 3 HR over the same time period. He will have the...

Tim Anderson- SS- CHA- Idea- Anderson's extreme splits of 2017 have continued into 2018. His .333/.381/.615 slash line against southpaws bodes well against the .288/.362/.569 Mike Minor brings into the matchup. Value play- Draft Kings salary $2800 Corey Kluber- P-...
