Ortiz ended up playing decent for us getting 12 fantasy points. I was watching him live when he flew out to the warning track. Missed a homer by 5 feet! On to tonight where I’m rolling with another Red Sox player in Xander Bogaerts. Bogaerts has been arguably the BEST player in the MLB this year. There is nothing he can’t do and is starting to hit for power which can get pretty dangerous. For Xander to be priced under 4K tonight is criminal. He’s playing in a game that has a huge total of 10.5 runs and is facing an awful pitcher. Expect Xander to get you a boat load of points tonight. Lock him in.

Catellanos was a big let down in a high scoring game last night, looking to move on to tonight and David Ortiz. There is nothing that Ortiz can’t do at the plate and he has a great matchup tonight against Kevin Gausman. He’s 7-16 against him with 2 homeruns. I love the spot he’s in at home with a high o/u. Expect Ortiz to produce for you tonight.

I’m staying cheap tonight seeing as I’m paying up for Bumgarner. I like the spot Nick Castellanos is in tonight against a hitting prone pitcher in Miguel Gonzalez. Castellanos is batting clean-up tonight and I expect him to have guys on base almost every time he is up tonight. The o/u is 9 in this game so there will definitely be some scoring going on. Castellanos is in a good spot to hit you a homer tonight or even just an extra-base hit.

Tonight I’m going with a guy who seems to be getting back to his old self. This guy is Jose Abreu. He draw a great lefty vs. righty matchup tonight against Matt Boyd. Boyd is very inexperienced and hasn’t impressed me enough to not ride Abreu’s hot streak. Abreu is 14 for his last 39 (.359 avg.) in his last 10 games. Out of those 10 games, he has 6 multi-hit games which shows me that he is seeing the ball very well. There are a couple other good first base options tonight, but Abreu is my favorite out of the bunch. Lock him in.

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.
