We're Having a Fire Sale!
| POS | NAME | OPP | FPPG | SALARY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P | Chris Sale (BOS) | at TOR | 38.6 | 97K |
| C | Roberto Perez (CLE) | at MIN | 1.3 | 35K |
| SS | Francisco Lindor (CLE) | at MIN | 16.5 | 53K |
| 3B | Jose Ramirez (CLE) | at MIN | 14.7 | 50K |
| OF | Andrew Benintendi (BOS) | at TOR | 11.4 | 56K |
Sale enters Thursday's matinee matchup with the struggling Blue Jays with 29 strikeouts to five walks in 21 2/3 innings and just three earned runs allowed; if he's not in your lineup, you're probably not going to win. Lindor and Ramirez are a tad underpriced given their strong slash lines to date. Benintendi has a bit of a contrarian flare; he could help create some separation if most of your competition opts for the more proven OF in Mookie Betts.
Houston's Battery
| POS | NAME | OPP | FPPG | SALARY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P | Lance McCullers (HOU) | vs. LAA | 18.3 | 40K |
| C | Brian McCann (HOU) | vs. LAA | 11.3 | 50K |
| 2B | Jose Altuve (HOU) | vs. LAA | 10.5 | 63K |
| 1B | Miguel Cabrera (DET) | at TB | 9.4 | 63K |
| OF | Mookie Betts (BOS) | at TOR | 11.3 | 64K |
With a discounted Houston duo of McCullers and McCann, the opportunity to roster high-impact batters really opens up. Cabrera, Altuve and Betts combine high-average approaches with base-clearing power -- and the latter two fill out their dynamic offensive profiles with base-stealing speed.
