C: Ryan Doumit – Valued at 6.6K, the switch hitting catcher has raised his season batting average because of his recent play.  He is batting over .320 over the last two weeks with 2 homeruns.
1b: Carlos Lee – Lee is having a solid season as he is batting .300, and in the last 13 games he is batting .340.

2b: Darwin Barney – After mightily struggling earlier in the season, Barney has be on fire.  He has raised his season average to .270, and is batting .340 over the last two weeks.  He faces a left in Wandy Rodriguez today.

3b: Mark Trumbo – After going 2 for 5 yesterday, Trumbo is just shy of .340 batting average for the season, and is batting over .400 in the last two weeks.
SS: Alcides Escobar – Quietly, the little shortstop for the Royals is batting over .300 this season.  He has no power, but is batting .361 over the last two weeks.

OF: Andrew McCutchen – By far, the hottest player in baseball right now.  4 homeruns in the last 6 games, and he is batting .420 in the last two weeks.  Looks like his early season struggles are a thing of the past.
OF: Josh Reddick – After getting the night off yesterday, The former Red Sox part time outfielder has been tearing it up in Oakland.  (.277 batting average with 11 homeruns this season)

OF: Brennan Boesch – After a slow start, Boesch is batting over .300 in the last two weeks and faces a RHP today (Zach McAllister).
U: Nelson Cruz – A very streaky player, but he is batting over .330 in his last two weeks with 11 RBIs, and faces Kevin Millwood today. 

U: Nick Markakis – After he started the season with an ugly slump, Markakis has 5 homeruns and 13 RBIs in the last two weeks.
SP: Charlie Morton – The Mets offense has been struggling of late, and Charlie Morton has been solid of late.  Morton is 1-1 with a 3.75 ERA in his last two starts and he is only 7.4K.

SP: Scott Diamond – The White Sox rank in the bottom half of every offensive category, and Diamond is 3-0 with a sub 2 ERA in his last two starts.
SP: Doug Fister – Even though he is 0-2, Fister has a 1.59 ERA in his 4 starts this year.  He is priced at just under 11K, and we believe the Tigers will score enough runs off Zach McAllister to earn Fister the win.

RP: Joel Hanrahan – Hanrahan has converted 5 straight save opportunities to take his season total to 10 saves with a sub 3 ERA.  We believe Morton will get the win while Hanrahan will close out the game against the Mets today.
