Daily Dime: Loading up on various Padres, Mets and Brewers

We've got action at Coors Field on Tuesday, with a pitching matchup that shouldn't scare anyone away (Morrow vs. Matzek). You know what to do. Additionally, a few of MLB's worst starters are on the bump. Plenty of matchups to exploit today, gamers. As always, we urge you to view the weather reports and double-check lineups before finalizing selections.

Wil Myers, OF, at Col (Matzek), $3700 at FanDuel: Myers is off to a respectable start this season, plus he's coming off a three-run, 2-for-6 performance on Monday. Colorado starter Tyler Matzek has allowed a .300/.369/.454 slash to RHBs over 22 career big league appearances, so multiple Padres are in play on Tuesday. Even this dude...

Jedd Gyorko, 2B, at Col (Matzek), $2900: Gyorko has been getting himself on base in recent games, and he's 4-for-7 in his career against Matzek with a double and a pair of walks. At this price, I'm interested.

Derek Norris, C, at Col (Matzek), $3000: Norris is a disrespected fantasy commodity who finds himself in a nice situation, typically batting either second or fifth for San Diego. He doubled twice against the Rockies on Monday, crossing the plate three times in a 3-for-5 performance. Assuming he starts tonight, Norris should give us another five or six plate appearances at Coors.

Carlos Carrasco, SP, at CWS (Noesi), $9100: Carrasco's last outing did not go as planned, as he allowed a pair of first-inning singles and was removed after taking a liner to the face. Not good. But he avoided significant injury, and he returns to the mound to face the dreadful Hector Noesi (soon to be replaced by Carlos Rodon, hopefully). Despite the fact that Carrasco is on the road, it's tough not to like his chances to collect a W.

Adam Lind, 1B, vs. Cin (Marquis), $3300: Lind has been plenty productive in the opening weeks (.302/.400/.488), and, well ... just look at the matchup. JASON MARQUIS, you guys. I'm playing a few Milwaukee-heavy daily lineups on Tuesday, featuring Lind and Khris Davis ($2600).

Jake Marisnick, OF, at Sea (Walker), $2600 : Marisnick is dirt-cheap and hitting well at the moment (.324/.351/.529), plus he gets to face a struggling 22-year-old starter. The only issue with Marisnick is that he does his hitting at the bottom of Houston's order, although that's obviously less of a concern in the A.L. He offers pop, speed and an appealing price-tag.

Daniel Murphy, 2B, vs. Atl (Cahill), $3100: Oh, hey, look: Trevor Cahill is in action on Tuesday. Set the controls; fire at will. You'll want a few shares of the Mets' lineup, I'm thinking. Murphy hasn't exactly been locked in (.502 OPS), but we know he's much better than his current numbers. Facing Cahill, I'm giving Murphy a good shot at his first multi-hit game of the year.

Wilmer Flores, SS, vs. Atl (Cahill), $2700: Flores has homered in two of his last three games, going 4-for-11 with five RBIs during that stretch. And again: Cahill on the mound. Yes, please. Flores is a reverse-split guy, much better against RHPs than lefties, so don't get hung up on handedness.

Francisco Liriano, SP, vs. CHC (Wood), $8400: Liriano has really pitched well in his first two starts (0.77 WHIP), without a win for his efforts. He'll face a young Cubs lineup full of guys who've barely seen him (and others who can't touch him. Starlin Castro is 2-for-20 with six Ks against Liriano). Chicago is an ascending team, sure, but this is a degree-of-difficulty matchup.

Michael Bourn, OF, at CWS (Noesi), $2500: Bourn is 4-for-7 lifetime against Noesi with a homer and five RBIs. It feels as if they entire world is 4-for-7 against Noesi, honestly. Please try to have a few shares of Cleveland's batting order on Tuesday.
