Today I am going to pick on one of the wort pitchers in the MLB so far this season. I’m picking on Alfredo Simon of the Reds. How am I picking on him? By picking the best hitter he’s facing and one of the best players in baseball, Robinson Cano. This is one of my favorite matchups this season considering you possibly have the worst pitcher in baseball pitching against one of the best hitters in baseball. Not to mention the fact that this matchup is happening at Great American Ballpark, which is one of the best hitting ballparks behind Coors field. Cano hasn’t been too hot as of late but expect things to turn for the better today with him. Cano will certainly be on-base and I expect at least 10 FanDuel points out of him today.

My last slugger, Corey Seager got a couple hits but unfortunately had no runs or rbi’s to back that up. Tonight, I’m rolling with a guy who is in the run for best SS in the league in Francisco Lindor. Normally, with the year Lindor is having, he would be an easy candidate for the all-star game. However, Correa and Bogaerts are having a huge start to the season which seems to take away the attention on Lindor. I have been a huge fan of Lindor since he got in the league and I’m picking him while he’s hot. He’s 15 for his last 46 which is just about a .333 average. He’s facing a very inexperienced pitcher, Tim Adleman, and I expect Lindor to take full advantage of him. Don’t be surprised if Lindor puts up his FOURTH straight 3 hit game….
