Daily Dime: The unstoppable Michael Brantley

Here are ten recommended Yahoo DFS plays for Wednesday, and yes, Virginia, they collectively fit under the Yahoo Daily cap. Be sure to double-check on lineups and weather before you make your final commitments.

Shelby Miller, SP, vs. COL (Flande), $44: The idea is to go with an affordable ace, keep money left over for hitting. Miller checks in as a strong -144 favorite, and the Rockies generally don’t hit much away from home (29th in weighted on-base average). Miller has a 2.01 ERA in his 12 home starts this year.

Jeff Locke, SP, at MIA (Narveson), $33: The attack-Miami theme didn’t work Tuesday, but we’re still talking about an offense that’s 28th in the majors in runs. Like Miller, Locke checks in as a -144 favorite. There’s a lot more volatility on this side, but I’m just hoping for a six-inning start, a lead, and hopefully a victory. And I'm excited about the eight bats I'm assembling.

Yadier Molina, C, at ARI (Corbin), $13: It hasn’t been one of his best seasons, but he’s been useful in August (.279, two homers, 15 RBIs, just four strikeouts). In this spot, he’s at home and in the platoon advantage (generally a good thing, though he’s been ordinary against lefties for 2015).

C.J. Cron, 1B, at DET (Verlander), $8: The Angels have to wonder why they didn’t utilize Cron all season. He’s on a ballistic .324/.363/.588 tear over his last 42 games, with nine homers. Justin Verlander has shown signs of life in the second half but I still don’t trust him.

Brandon Phillips, 2B, vs. LAD (Anderson), $16: He’s having a nice renaissance season, and remains handy against left-handed pitching (.308 average, .347 OBP) even if the pop isn’t the same. Phillips also has seven homers and six steals at home - not monstrous numbers, but useful ones. He’s slotted cleanup for Wednesday.

Matt Duffy, 3B, vs. CHC (Hendricks), $17: Kris Bryant is going to run away with the NL Rookie of the Year, but Duffy deserves to finish second or third. He has an .844 OPS against right-handed pitching and he’s an .826 stick at home. Get me to the bay.

Asdrubal Cabrera, SS, vs. MIN (Duffey), $16: I’ll have what he’s having - Cabrera is on a ridiculous .398/.436/.645 clip in the second half, with four homers in 24 starts.

David Peralta, OF, vs. STL (Lackey), $17: Does this feel like a heavy outlay to you? It shouldn't. Peralta is a dynamic offensive player against opposing RHPs (.311/.370/.547), and he’s slotted fourth in a deep Arizona lineup for Wednesday.

Khris Davis, OF, at CLE (Anderson), $17: The average hasn’t always been pretty, but he’s clocked nine homers this month, en route to a .608 slugging percentage.

Michael Brantley, OF, vs. MIL (Nelson), $19: Injuries held his pop and production down in the first half, though he still maintained a reasonable average. Finally healthy in the second half, the numbers are through the roof (.385/.453/.631). He might be the best pure hitter in baseball; sit back and enjoy.
