C: Carlos Ruiz – Ruiz has been on tear lately which has raised his season average over .300.  He has hit 4 homeruns and had 16 RBIs in the past two weeks.  Furthermore, he faces Miguel Bautista (almost a 10.00 ERA)

1b: Kendry Morales – A strong candidate for comeback player of the year, Morales has been en fuego lately batting over .350 in his last 13 games.

2b: Dustin Pedroia – He loves lefty pitchers and he will tee off today as he faces Duffy from the Royals.

3b: Mike Moustakas – Moustakas faces Bard who has been one of the better pitchers for the Sox this year, but at 7K we have to play him because he is batting .350 over the last 2 weeks.  Have to play the hot stick.

SS: Jed Lowrie – His price keeps going up, but he might be the hottest hitter of late (.413, 4 HR, 11 RBIs over the last 2 weeks).

OF: Giancarlo Stanton – Did you see his blast two nights ago.  That ball has still not landed.  He has so much power (5 homeruns over his last 12 games), and we are hoping he sends another into orbit tonight against the AAA call up Rodriguez. 

OF: Angel Pagan – Usually known for his speed, Pagan has brought his big boy stick this year as he has 4 homeruns; 3 of which have come in back to back to back games two weeks ago.  He’s under 7K which is a great play. 

OF: Andres Torres – The speedy Mets’ outfielder is batting .363 in his last 7 games.

U: Lance Nix – Another hot bat, Nix platoons with Wigginton.  Today the Phils face the Righty Baustista so Nix will get the nod at first.  He is batting almost .400 over his last 14 games.

U: Hunter Pence – After a slow start to the season, Pence has hit in 9 of his last 10 games, and he faces Bautista today (almost a 10.00 ERA).

SP: Randall Delgado – Delgado is not off to the start he would want to have, but let’s be honest, either are the Cubs.  The Cubs are 12-17, and are 25^th in the MLB in runs scored this season.

SP: Jake Westbrook – Arizona has one of the better offenses in the league, but it’s very hard not to start a pitcher who is under 10K and has a 2.12 ERA.

SP: Aneury Rodriguez – Yes we understand this is a gamble, but The Marlins have one of the worst offenses in baseball.  Combine that with Rodriguez’s price of 7.5K, and you have a solid play. *Yes we understand we have Stanton in our lineup who faces Rodriguez.  We believe Stanton will have a good game, but Rodriguez should still be able to get his value.

RP: Brett Myers – The Marlins can’t score runs which means we are hoping The Astros turn the ball over to Myers for the 9^th to seal the deal (after Rodriguez throws 6 innings and only gives up 1 run…)
