Longoria had a solid 12 points in last slugger of the day. However, I wish I didn’t fade Bryant who ended up getting 20+ points. Tonight I’m rolling with a very obvious pick in Matt Carpenter. Whenever Simon is on the mound, I am immediately targeting players who are against him. Carpenter should be the biggest beneficiary out of the bunch tonight. Expect him to score you a couple runs and an extra-base hit or two for you tonight. Lock him in.

Harper played well yesterday going 3-5, unfortunately he had no extra base hits. Today I’m rolling with arguably the hottest hitter in baseball in Evan Longoria. Longoria just won A.L player of the week due to his absolute outstanding performance at the plate recently. He absolutely demolished the Twins in their 4 game series and has no reason to not keep that going tonight against Robby Ray in a friendly hitting park in Arizona. Longoria also hits lefties very well and Ray has been pretty below average so far this year. Over the last 10 games, Longoria is 16-39 which is a .410 batting average. Not to mention he has 6 HR’s in that span with 5 of those 6 being in the last 4 games. Lock in Longoria and look for him to get you a satisfying number of points.

I think today, the slugger is a no brainer. I’m rolling with Bryce Harper at a disrespectful price of $4,000. He is facing Jon Moscot who really should be a bullpen pitcher or in AAA because he has been absolutely awful. He sports a 7.13 ERA and that might honestly go up after facing the tough Nationals lineup at the friendly-hitting Great American Ball-Park. Now I know that Harper has been slumping lately, but he has a perfect matchup today to break out and go deep. I’m solely picking Harper because it’s greatness vs. Moscot. Whenever a player at the talent level is facing a guy like Moscot, I’m most likely 100% in. Enjoy Harper at $4,000 today. Moscot is as talented as a mascot. You might as well have Mr. Red on the mound today in full uniform.

We are starting off June with a bit of a wild card slugger in Giancarlo Stanton today but I’m confident for a couple of reasons. Stanton has been pretty bad this year and unlike his normal self, however, reports say that his side was bothering him and leading to his poor play. He just recently got off of the DL and is looking to bring his surging numbers back to the table. What a great way to regain that confidence by facing a guy like Jon Niese at home where he is batting 12-29 against him with FOUR homers. If Stanton is going to get back to his old self, it’s tonight. This game also draws my attention with an 8.5 total which predicts a high scoring game. Stanton is at a cheap $3,500 tonight and can easily power up a homerun for your fantasy squad. Lock him in and watch him get back on track.

Altuve was a big success and we will look to keep the slugger rolling tonight. I’m going with Matt Carpenter of the Cardinals with a fantastic matchup tonight against Wily Peralta. Carpenter is starting to come into form, having a 4-5 performance last game. His numbers are very impressive against Wily Peralta, batting 16-35 against him with 7 RBI’s and 3 HR’s. This game has a high total of 9, predicting that the Cardinals should be able to light up Peralta tonight at the friendly hitting Milwaukee ballpark. I expect Carpenter to be leading the crew in scoring seeing as he is leading off for the Cards and will be getting around the bases. Expect Carpenter to score a couple runs and get an extra base hit for you tonight. Lock him in at a very affordable price of $3,500.

Same idea today as Donaldson, only this time it’s with Altuve. He is priced under $4,000 due to his recent slump, but he is too good of a hitter to be this cheap. Especially, against an inexperienced lefty in Arizona. Arizona is a great hitters ballpark and the o/u is 9. Altuve is coming off of a 4-6 performance leaving his recent slump behind. Altuve will be coming into this one fresh, trying to pick up a slacking Astros team. Expect Altuve to be overlooked today, but produce great numbers for you. He will be all over the bases today and will score you a couple runs. Lock him in at a very affordable price today.
