Introduction
Friday was a good night for my Swing for the Fences picks with five homers. I’ll look to continue the trend on Monday’s eight-game MLB slate where there a plenty of gas can pitchers to pick on.
Prices included for FanDuel and DraftKings to help find where the best value may be and positions are based on FanDuel.
So with that here is who will be swinging for the fences today…

Lineup
C – Buster Posey (SF) (FanDuel: $2,900 / DraftKings: $4,000) – I’m also okay with fellow catcher eligible Giant Nick Hudley if he is in the starting lineup with them both going against lefty Wei-Yin Chen who has allowed 2.05 HR/9 to righties this season.
1B – Jose Martinez (STL) (FanDuel: $3,900 / DraftKings: $4,300) – Martinez is hot with four homers over his last four games and will face Jordan Lyles who has served up two homers in three of his last four starts.
2B – Jonathan Schoop (BAL) (FanDuel: $3,100 / DraftKings: $3,300) – Schoop is a BvP special with three homers in 12 career at-bats against knuckleballer Steven Wright.
SS – Javier Baez (CHC) (FanDuel: $3,800 / DraftKings: $4,600) – Yes, Baez is ice cold at the plate right now but he offers immense power for a SS eligible player and I just have a hunch he goes deep tonight.
3B – Jose Ramirez (CLE) (FanDuel: $5,000 / DraftKings: $5,600) – Ramirez homered off White Sox righty Lucas Giolito a couple of weeks ago and has a .357 ISO against righties this season.

OF – David Peralta (ARI) (FanDuel: $3,100 / DraftKings: $4,200) – Peralta has a .383 wOBA and .243 ISO against righties this season.
