Well, Sunday was a tough day. I lo$t my 50/50 contest by 0.20 of a point. Alex Cobb was a great pick even though he didn’t get the W. Luckily, Justin Masterson was highly drafted across most teams so it didn’t affect us that badly. However, we probably would have cashed if it weren’t for his implosion. Another great value pick was Alexei Ramirez as he scored us 14 points. I hope he wins his next marathon. With that being said, off to Monday’s card we go. It’s a small card, only 5 games on schedule, so lets make the be$t out of the games we are dealt.
Here are the plays for Monday 4/7.
Auction values based on Draftkings salaries
SP 1 – Scott Kazmir $9000 – I know we played the Twins yesterday with Masterson, and Kazmir isn’t as talented as Masterson (anymore), but the Twins need to cool off eventually…. Right?
SP 2 – Corey Kluber $7300 – He is my late card pitcher of choice. Kluber had a terrible outing last time around, but he should bounce back against the Padres – they can’t hit for sh*t and he has high K potential which is very crucial in daily fantasy.
C – Sal Perez $3900 – Playing against lefty Matt Moore at home, I think he should do well and he’s averaging 12FPPG (small sample I know).
1B – Brandon Moss $3500 – Good matchup for Moss against Correia. You can slide him into the OF if you like, he bats clean up against righties and he should get his opportunitie$.
2B – Ben Zobrist $4300 – Career .400 batting average versus Jason Vargas. I like looking into career matchups between hitters and pitchers – that and the 2B options today are pretty weak.
3B – Trevor Plouffe $3100 – Plouffe has been swinging a decent bat so far this season. He was a sleeper pick last year that didn’t live up to the hype, so this year we will call him a post hype sleeper, ya sure.
OF 1 – Shin-Soo Choo $4700 – People with lisps hate him, and so does John Lackey. Now say his name three times fast.
OF 2 – Nick Markakis $3900 – Yeah this pick might be getting cute with the lineup, but he’s been excellent against Tanaka SR. Take the ri$k on The Friendly Greek.
OF 3 – Coco Crisp $4100 – Leading off for a very good offensive team is also great. You know what also is great? Being named Coco Crisp.
Ending words, by now you must realize that all the picks I give out aren’t a complete roster (minus yesterdays), these are all what I consider value picks and you can plug them in to your lineup whichever way you please. Good luck!
