Pitcher
Lucas Giolito (CWS): $9,400 vs. KAN
A first-round selection in 2012, it’s been a long journey for the right-hander. It looks as if he’s finally delivering on the high praise that’s been following him around since then. Taking on a Royals team who isn’t particularly special in any one area, shouldn’t be too difficult a task for the streaking Giolito. Having gone 7+ innings in three of his past four outings, he has shown the ability to navigate lineups. He’s accrued 50+ FanDuel points in that same timeframe, showcasing his upside. His price is still in a range worth rostering, so roll with him in this one.
Jeff Samardzija (SFG): $6,600 @ MIA
The righty Samardzija is mispriced and is set to take on a club ranked dead last in runs scored, wOBA, and wRC+. He’s a steady arm who may lack major upside but can still produce above-average fantasy performances; especially when taking on the likes of the Marlins. Don’t let the fact that he pitches for the Giants deter you from rostering him. He’s pitching in a spacious NL ballpark against perhaps the weakest lineup in the bigs, don’t overthink it.
Catcher/ First Base
Miguel Cabrera (DET): $2,900 @ BAL
No longer playing up to his Hall of Fame caliber, Miggy can still be a useful fantasy contributor if played in the correct situations. A date against Dylan Bundy in Camden Yards certainly falls into that category. Cabrera’s lack of power to this point in the season has been somewhat concerning but he’s still getting on base at a .377 clip. Bundy’s propensity for giving up the long-ball gives Cabrera the upside he has been lacking to this point.
Second Base
Derek Dietrich (CIN): $2,700 vs. PIT
Continuing his hot start to the 2019 campaign, Dietrich’s price has not corrresponded to his production. This game will be held in Great American Ballpark, which is hitter-friendly to say the least. He’ll be taking on right-hander Jordan Lyles who has been impressive, but is not someone to completely shy-away from. Rostering Dietrich while he’s still in this salary range is a savvy move.
Third Base
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (TOR): $2,800 @ TAM
Still not sure why his price sits below $3,000 but while it is, take advantage. He hasn’t torn the cover off the ball just yet but his talent is clearly evident. Tropicana Field isn’t great for hitters but his power plays anywhere. There will soon be a day where fantasy players wish they could get him at a price like this so be sure to lock him in while you still can.
Shortstop
Corey Seager (LOS): $3,100 vs. NYM
Another player with an exciting skill-set who is priced too low. Seager was recommended last week and he finds himself in another advantageous situation here. Rostering Dodgers has been a successful strategy for many, and Seager looks like one of the better bargains on this slate. He takes on a left-hander in Steven Matz, and in his career, Seager holds a .276/.344/.437 line against southpaws. He may go under-owned due to those who assume he has negative platoon splits.
Outfield
Raimel Tapia (COL): $3,000 vs. ARI
A leadoff hitter playing in Coors Field with a total of 12.5, while only being priced at $3,000 is an auto-play. Tapia has prospect pedigree but has never really gotten an exenteded look until this season. He’s been making the most of his opportunity and is riding a modest six-game hitting streak. Right-hander Merrill Kelly toes the rubber for Arizona, and is not someone Tapia should have much trouble handling. His lineup slot is secured due to the recent Charlie Blackmon injury, giving him even more leash to prove his worth at the big league level. He’s an exciting play on this slate and could pay off in a big way.
Jackie Bradley Jr. (BOS): $2,500 vs. CLE
As home favorites with a total of 9.5, the Red Sox will certainly be in play on Tuesday night. Bradley Jr. has been struggling this season after entering the campaign with some well-deserved hype. The downside in rostering JBJ is his lack of to-date production and low lineup slot. However, he’s been finding his stroke as of late and when he’s going right, he flashes the ability to contribute in a variety of ways. The lefty has a pop and speed skill set which has a strong chance of showing up in this one.
