2013 Fantasy Baseball Daily Fix: August 30
DraftKings Team of the Day
Today I’m playing in a Triple Up contest where the top 12 finishers out of 40 participants can make a little cash. Also, it’s not too late to get involved in daily fantasy baseball at DK, and they’re also starting their NFL and college football games as well. So don’t forget to claim your deposit bonus when you sign up.
| Player | Matchup | Salary | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| SP – Julio Teheran | Miami | 8,200 | Marlins worst team against righties by far |
| SP – Taijuan Walker | Houston | 7,500 | It seems like a lot of rookies are having success in their debuts this season so I’ll roll the dice here. The Astros are 27th in wRC+ w/ 25 % Ks vs. righties |
| C – Yadier Molina | F. Liriano (L) | 3,600 | So cheap even though he’s top-scoring healthy catcher |
| 1B – Chris Davis | CC Sabathia (L) | 5,300 | Usually don’t spend big at 1B, but Davis at NYY at 5,300 is a good value |
| 2B – Kyle Seager | Brad Peacock (R) | 4,500 | .898 OPS on the road this year |
| 3B – Alex Rodriguez | Miguel Gonzalez (R) | 4,200 | .917 OPS vs. righties this year |
| SS – Jose Reyes | Ervin Santana (R) | 4,300 | Not a lot of good options, but Reyes has .360 OBP vs. righties |
| OF – Josh Hamilton |
Wily Peralta (R) | 4,200 | .443 OBP, 9.5 PPG in last 11 |
| OF – Allen Craig | Liriano | 4,100 | 1.143 OPS in last 11 |
| OF – Austin Jackson | Zach Mcallister (R) | 4,000 | .930 OPS in last 11 |
