Congratulations! Your roster is valid. Click the "Save Team" button to submit.
C: Jonathan Lucroy – First of all he faces Jason Marquis…and over the last two weeks he is batting almost .400 with 9 RBIs.
1b: Carlos Lee – Batting .327 in his last 13 games, and he faces a struggling Colby Lewis.
2b: Adam Kennedy – Kennedy is batting a solid .360 over the last two weeks, and he has a cheap value at 6K.
3b: Alberto Callaspo – He is valued at less than 5.5K, and he is batting over .300 in his last 10 games with a homerun, 7 RBIs, and 6 runs scored.
SS: Elliot Johnson – Johnson has been on fire lately for the Rays at shortstop (.390 with 2 homeruns and 2 stolen bases over his last 12 games).
OF: Andrew McCutchen – Finally McCutchen is hitting like he did last year.  He is batting .440 with 5 homeruns over the last 2 weeks.  He was lacking power earlier this year, but now everything coming off his bat is either finding the gap, or heading out of the park.
OF: Raul Ibanez – The old guy has been hot of late, and has found the power stroke.  5 homeruns in his last 11 games, and he faces a righty today.
OF: Nelson Cruz – He has finally found his stroke this season.  Cruz is batting .340 over the last two weeks with 2 bombs, 13 runs scored, and 9 RBIs.
U: Dustin Ackley – The former #2 overall pick is batting over .300 in his last 10 games, and the lefty hitter faces a righty today in Guthrie.
U: Dustin Pedroia – Pedroia loves lefties and faces Cliff Lee today.  Also, Pedroia is batting .316 with 2 homeruns over the last 2 weeks. 
SP: Jeremy Guthrie – In his last start, he threw 5+ innings with no earned runs.  Furthermore, he faces the Mariners today. 
SP: Derek Lowe – A new start in Cleveland seems to be exactly what he needed.  He is 2-0 with a sub 2 ERA in his last 2 starts, and he faces one of the worst offenses today in the Marlins.  Oh ya, and he is less than 10K.
SP: Wade Miley – Miley faces KC today, and he is 1-1 with a 3.16 ERA in those two starts with 11+ innings.  Once again, he is less than 10K.
RP: Joe Nathan – The Rangers play the Astros today, and we expect a Ranger victory by 3 runs with Nathan “putting the nail in the coffin” in the 9th for an 8-5 win.
