Thanks to Brain Dozier’s heroics in the ninth inning against the Tigers, my FanDuel Survivor Pool team lives to fight another day! Â Wieters and Cole also contributed to the cause. Â The next round isn’t until July 17th. Â Comment below if you’re also still alive in the pool and which players have helped you the most. Â In light of it being the weekend and that I have two lineups to give tonight I’ll keep the analysis short. Â Don’t forget to check about 10 minutes before first pitch for any possible scratches. Â Here are my lineups for today:
4:05 Lineup
Pitcher: Dallas Keuchel $10,400
Catcher: Evan Gattis $3,400
First Baseman: Joey Votto $3,300
Second Baseman: Brandon Phillips $2,800
Third Baseman: Nick Castellanos $2,600
Shortstop: Adeiny Hechavarria $2,300
Outfielder: Charlie Blackmon $4,400
Outfielder: Melky Cabrera $2,800
Outfielder: Colby Rasmus $2,700
Keuchel has won four of his past five starts and Tampa hasn’t been hitting well which is a great combination for points from the pitching slot. Â Melky Cabrera has at least one hit in every game in the month of July. Â My Ultimate Gut Call for this lineup is Nick Castellanos. Â Ever since Cabrera went down his production has really picked up.
On to my evening lineup:
7:15 Lineup
Pitcher: C.J. Wilson $7,900
Catcher: Matt Wieters $2,800
First Baseman: Albert Pujols $4,300
Second Baseman: Cesar Hernandez $3,000
Third Baseman: Manny Machado $4,300
Shortstop: Xander Bogaerts $3,000
Outfielder: Hunter Pence $3,000
Outfielder: Justin Upton $2,700
Outfielder: Jacoby Ellsbury $4,000
With Wilson having a somewhat favorable matchup against the Mariners, I was able to stock up on some of my favorite hitters who have been on hot streaks in Wieters, Machado, and Bogaerts. Â My Ultimate Gut Call is Justin Upton. Â Tonight will be his second game back from injury and I feel he will have a big game against Colby Lewis and the Rangers pitching staff. Â Pence and the Giants also have a very favorable matchup against the Phillies tonight.
