P Wei-Yin Chen, Mia, $37 (at SD) – We have only one true upper-tier ace in action on Monday (Scherzer), and that guy is dealing with a terrifying matchup (Cubs). So I'm simply chasing wins, picking on light-hitting rosters. San Diego currently ranks No. 29 in baseball in on-base percentage (.292).

P R.A. Dickey, Tor, $35 (vs. Phi) – Again, I'm win-chasing. The Phillies rank last in MLB in team OBP (.286) and next-to-last in runs (198), so it's not as if Dickey is facing a powerhouse. He's allowed only two runs over his last two starts, and hasn't really delivered an ugly line since April.

C Jonathan Lucroy, Mil, $17 (M. Cain) – When you spend only $72 on your pitching, you can afford a luxury catcher. Lucroy is slashing .303/.362/.512 on the season and he's facing a guy with a 1.43 WHIP.

1B Miguel Cabrera, Det, $20 (J. Shields) – Historically, Miggy has treated Shields like a piñata, going 19-for-55 with eight doubles and two homers. Shields of course has been dreadful in his last two starts, allowing 16 hits, 17 runs and five homers over just 4.2 innings.

2B Jason Kipnis, Cle, $17 (E. Volquez) – Kipnis has reached base at a .370 clip so far in June, and he has a nice enough history against Volquez (6-for-17, 3 XBH, 2 BB).

3B Adonis Garcia, Atl, $11 (D. Wright) – Originally, I thought he'd be feasting at the Alfredo Simon fantasy buffet, but the Reds have shuffled their rotation. Fine. Garcia will instead face a pitcher who's given up 11 runs in his 10.0 innings of work this season.

SS Jean Segura, Ari, $15 (M. Bolsinger) – Segura is 6-for-16 over his last four games and he's 5-for-8 lifetime against Bolsinger. This feels like guaranteed points.

OF J.D. Martinez, Det, $21 (J. Shields) – I'll refer you to the Cabrera blurb above for details on the recent performance of James Shields. Martinez has been almost unstoppable at the plate lately, stringing together four straight multi-hit games (and seven in his last nine).

OF Bryce Harper, Was, $19 (K. Hendricks) – If the Cubs simply want to pitch around Harper again, that would be fine. I'll take the free points. If instead Hendricks is throwing hittable pitches, I like those odds, too.

OF Michael Taylor, Was, $8 (K. Hendricks) – Taylor is hitting .333 in June and he's 4-for-9 over his last two games. And hey, he's eight bucks. I needed a bargain-bin batter.
