Daily Dime: Salazar, Harper, Braun and more
As always when playing Yahoo Daily Fantasy Baseball, be sure to check the final lineups and the weather.
I’m concentrating on Wednesday’s later batch of games.
My full lineup:
SP: Danny Salazar $52
SP: Jameson Taillon $31
C: Brian McCann $12
1B: Adrian Gonzalez $9
2B: Daniel Murphy $17
3B: Todd Frazier $11
SS: Tim Anderson $17
OF: Bryce Harper $17
OF: Brandon Moss $16
OF: Ryan Braun $18
Salazar has won each of his last five starts, when he’s posted a 2.53 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP with 32 strikeouts over 32.0 innings. He gets a Braves offense that’s scored the fewest runs in baseball this season…It’s a short slate Wednesday evening, so options are fairly limited. Taillon has been a bit shaky since joining Pittsburgh, but he remains a strong prospect, and his price is reasonable at just $31. The Pirates are up against a pitcher in Wade Miley making his first start while returning from the disabled list with a shoulder injury.
McCann is at home facing a righty and is the ninth-priced catcher…Gonzalez reached base in all four plate appearances Tuesday and remains dirt cheap…Murphy leads the National League in batting average and faces a shaky pitcher in Logan Verrett…Frazier is on pace to finish with 44 homers and 103 RBI. He’s at home, and there are 10 third basemen more expensive than him Wednesday…Anderson is still searching for his first walk, but he’s hit well since getting called up and is locked into the leadoff role.
Harper has a homer and two steals over his past three games and still owns an .898 OPS despite a recent slump. He’s awfully tough to pass up against a right-handed pitcher at $17…Moss sports a .275/.365/.688 line against RHP this season. That 1.053 OPS would rank second in all of baseball overall…Braun is at home and facing a pitcher making his MLB debut.
Good luck with your contests Wednesday.
