Ryan Braun is my slugger of the day facing Adam Conley of the Miami Marlins. Braun has been hot as of late, batting .466 in his last 9 games with 2 HR’s and 3 doubles. Braun is a lefty masher and is 4-5 against Conley in his career. Also, he’s at home where he bats a cool .350 at a field where the ball seems to fly out of the park. Braun is a tad expensive on Fanduel, but he’s worth it tonight. Expect Braun to put up a satisfying number.
Travis Shaw is my slugger for tonight’s slate. At a $3,000 salary price, he’s one of the top value guys out there. He’s hitting .333 in his last 10 games and has shown that he can hit the ball anywhere in the ballpark especially at Fenway Park. With the Red Sox putting up boat loads of runs lately and guys being on base left and right, Shaw should be able to find himself in that mix of production once again tonight. Can you say “Bye Panda”?
