Pitcher
- Matt Harvey – NYM – $10700
Of all the top starting pitchers on the mound Thursday night, Harvey has the most upside. Harvey is winless in his last five starts, but that is largely due to a lack of run support. He is a capable of going deep into games and piling up a high strikeout total. He is the biggest favorite on the night, according to Vegas.
Other Notables
- Jake Arrieta – CHC – $9600
- Gio Gonzalez – WAS – $8700
Catcher
- Robinson Chirinos – TEX – $2900
Chirinos sat out yesterday’s game because of a sore right hand, but he should be in the lineup on Thursday. He has a favorable righty/lefty matchup tonight and is batting .303 against LHP vs. just .162 against RHP.
Other Notables
- Yasmani Grandal – LAD – $3100
- Salvador Perez – KAN – $2200
First Base
- Joey Votto – CIN – $3600
Votto is batting .347 on the road this year, compared to .230 at home. He has eight HR and 19 RBI against RHP compared to just two HR and nine RBI against LHP. He has a favorable matchup on the road against RHP Aaron Harang tonight. Over his last seven games, Votto is batting .333/.438/.778 with thee HR and seven RBI.
Other Notables
- Carlos Santana – CLE – $4100
- Lucas Duda – NYM – $3900
Second Base
- Chase Utley – PHI – $2800
Utley got off to a slow start this season but has finally gotten his AVG up over .200. He batted .256 in the month of May and is 3-for-7 (.429) in two games in June. With his price tag being what it is, Utley presents good value tonight.
Other Notables
- Jason Kipnis – CLE – $4600
- Daniel Murphy – NYM – $3500
Third Base
- Evan Longoria – TB – $3200
Longoria is batting .318 against LHP this season and presents good value at that price tag. He is a solid veteran hitter who can always come through with a big hit on any given night.
Other Notables
- Todd Frazier – CIN – $4400
- Joey Gallo – TEX – $3300
Shortstop
- Alcides Escobar – KAN – $2300
I typically don’t like to spend big money on middle infield position players, and Escobar presents good value at SS tonight. Escobar went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored yesterday against Cleveland.
Outfield

- Jay Bruce – CIN – $3100
- Joey Butler – TB – $2700
Moss is currently on a four-game hitting streak and is batting .379/.400/.690 with two HR and three RBI in his last seven games. He is averaging 4.68 FDP over his last four contests.
Bruce had three walks last night against the Phillies and was 2-for-3 in the first game of the series. He has seven HR on the season and is always capable of making it eight.
Butler is currently on a five-game hitting streak, including three multi-hit games. Over his last seven games, Butler is hitting .345/.345/.621 with two HR and four RBI. He is a .349 hitter on the road and a .333 hitter against LHP.
