C: Brian McCann – The power hitting catcher for Atlanta is having a down year, but today we are playing him because we have a hunch he is due.  It’s a low risk high reward since he is less than 7K and facing a righty.

1b: Casey McGehee – During his current 6 game hitting streak, McGehee is 10 for 23 with two homeruns.
2b: Aaron Hill – Fresh off his 4 for 4 performance with the cycle yesterday, Hill is batting over .400 in the last two weeks and he is valued only at 6K.

3b: Brandon Inge – Looks like the Tigers made a mistake in letting go of Inge.  He is batting .292 with 2 homeruns and 13 RBIs over the last two weeks.  He is also under 6K.
SS: Andrelton Simmons – The recent rookie call-up for the Braves has been unbelievable at the plate.  He is 10 for his last 19, and he is batting .333 on the year.

OF: Jason Kubel – Kubel is batting .295 on the season with 40 RBIs, and he hits righties extremely well, and today he faces Erasmo Ramirez.
OF: Colby Rasmus – 6 for his last 10 with a homerun, Rasmus faces Tyler Thornburg who makes his first career major league start today.

OF: Ryan Braun – Braun is batting .333 with 5 homeruns and 12 RBIs in the last two weeks.
U: Mark Trumbo – Now with 16 homeruns and 42 RBIs this year, Trumbo is batting .319 and having a breakout year.

U: Albert Pujols – Pujols is batting over .300 in the last two weeks and faces a lefty today in a struggling Barry Zito.
SP: Chien-Ming Wang – In his last start, Wang went 5 innings and gave up only 2 runs to record his 2nd win of the year.  Today, he faces the Rays and their offense is in the bottom half of every offensive category.

SP: Scott Diamond – Diamond faces one of the worst offenses in baseball (Pirates), and he is 5-2 on the year with a 2.13 ERA.
SP: Mark Buehrle – We understand Buehrle is facing a tough offense today in the Red Sox, but Buehrle is coming off of back-to-back quality starts, and his season ERA is only 3.41.  Furthermore, he is under 9K.

RP: Heath Bell – Now with 14 saves on the season, Bell has settled in nicely in Miami, and he has not given up a run in his last 9 appearances.
