C: Rod Barajas – After a very sluggish start to his season, Barajas has turned it around lately by hitting .363 with 3 homeruns in the last two weeks.  In addition, he is less than 5K making him a steal.
1b: Prince Fielder – Prince is usually hitting well above .300, but his average has been climbing because he is 7 for his last 9 in the last two games.  Keep playing Fielder if he stays this hot for 7.5K.

2b: Freddy Galvis – Utley’s replacement has been hot of late after starting the season with a batting average in the low .200s.  Galvis is batting .314 in the last two weeks with 2 bombs and 10 RBIs.  Too make Galvis an even better option, he is less than 6K.
3b: Mark Trumbo – 4 for his last 8, Trumbo has his season batting average at .313 now, and he is hitting .339 over the last two weeks.

SS: Jose Reyes – Reyes is only 6.4K?...This makes sense due to his awful start, but Reyes is 11 for his last 30 with 5 stolen bases.
OF: Adam Jones – A 5 category guy, Jones has put himself in the MVP talks already with his unbelievable start to the season.  He is 4 for his last 11 with 2 stolen bases.

OF: Shin-Soo Choo – 4 for his last 9 with a homerun, Choo seems to have found his stroke as he is also batting .347 in his last 13 contests.  He faces the struggling Gavin Floyd today.
OF: Giancarlo Stanton – Ok, this guy hits massive bombs that should count for two homeruns.  He is 7 for his last 12 with a homerun and 5 RBIs in his last 3 games. 

U: Martin Prado – 8 for his last 15, Prado all of a sudden is hitting .333 on the season as he has been a hitting machine of late.  He faces a lefty today in Gio Gonzalez.
U: Corey Hart – Hart now has 10 homeruns on the season, and he is batting .289 over the last two weeks to raise his season average to .264.

SP: Kyle Drabek – 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA in his last two starts, his season ERA is now 3.27.  We understand he faces the Rangers today who have the best offense in the MLB, but Drabek has been very good lately and he is under 8K. 
SP: P.J. Walters – Coming off a complete game victory in his last start with 8 strikeouts, Walters is 2-1 with a 2.95 ERA.  He is valued at 8K, and faces the Tigers today.

SP: Brain Matusz – The young lefty for the Orioles has won his last 3 starts, and he has won 4 of his last 5 starts.  A week and a half ago, he faced the Royals and went 6 innings with 3 earned runs to lead the Orioles to victory.  We expect a similar stat line today.
RP: J.J. Putz – Picked up his 10th save of the season today, and we think he picks up save number 11 today vs. the Brewers.
