Daily Dime: Going with McCullers, Richards, Arenado and Dickerson

Daily Dime: Going with McCullers, Richards, Arenado and Dickerson

Here are 10 DFS recommendations for Sunday’s slate on Yahoo but be sure to double-check the weather and lineups before first pitch approaches.

Lance McCullers, SP, at Ari (Ray), $44: He’s pitched better at home this season, although McCullers does own a 9.1 K/9 mark on the road. He gets to face a National League lineup (albeit in a strong hitter’s park) in what amounts to a must-win game for the Astros.

Garrett Richards, SP, at Tex (Hamels), $40: He’s allowed three runs or fewer in six of his last seven starts (and just four in the other), has a solid K rate and will be pitching for an Angels team with their season on the line. Richards is modestly priced, as there are 11 more expensive pitchers on Sunday’s slate.

Miguel Montero, C, at Mil (Lopez), $12: He has 12 homers in fewer than 300 at bats versus righties this season.

Justin Bour, 1B, at Phi (Buchanan), $14: He’s slugging .521 with 23 home runs over 332 at bats when facing righties this season yet remains cheap here.

Brandon Phillips, 2B, at Pit (Happ), $14: He owns a .412/.476/.1.059 line over 17 career at bats against J.A. Happ.

Nolan Arenado, 3B, at SF (Cain), $20: He’s finishing up a fantastic season in which he leads the National League in home runs and major league baseball in RBI. Arenado somehow has hit six homers over eight games at AT&T Park this season. The Giants as a team have totaled 53 over 80 games played there.

Carlos Correa, SS, at Ari (Ray), $19: He sports a .909 OPS against southpaws and will benefit from an extreme hitter’s park. Correa should be a lock to be in Sunday’s lineup with Houston trying to fight off the Angels for the final playoff spot.

Jarrett Parker, OF, vs. Col (Bergman), $11: The rookie has the platoon advantage and is dirt cheap.

Gerardo Parra, OF, vs. NYY (Pineda), $11: Another inexpensive outfield option, Parra is hitting .302 against righties while slugging .494 at home this season.

Corey Dickerson, OF, at SF (Cain), $13: He’s finishing up a highly disappointing year thanks to injuries, but he remains plenty productive against RHP, as he’s slashed .323/.351/.596 against them. Meanwhile, Matt Cain has struggled badly against LHB this season, serving up six homers over 24.0 innings with a .330 BAA and 1.83 WHIP.
