PITCHERS:
Sonny Gray (vs TB)
Rays have the fourth-highest K-rate (25.9%) over the month of September… 1-1, 2.66 ERA in three starts vs TB, 25 Ks in 20.1 innings… At least 34 FDP in 14 of his last 17 starts… Free strikeouts vs Logan Morrison, who is in a terrible slump and has bad BvP against Gray
Lance Lynn (vs CHC)
Cardinals are -195 favorites in Vegas today… Cubs clinched the NL Central last night, so there’s not much motivation for them to play in this game and you’ll see that by the lineup they have put out tonight
Danny Duffy (vs DET)
Royals are -200 favorites, clearly a good sign… At least 7 Ks in five of his last six starts
STACKS:

CATCHERS:

Platoon advantage vs Norris and should have plenty of RBI opportunities
Evan Gattis (@BOS)
Tough matchup vs E-Rod, gets the platoon advantage in ideal hitting conditions for a righty
Bruce Maxwell (@TEX)
$2900 DK/$2700 FD… Major park upgrade
FIRST BASEMEN:
Matt Carpenter (vs CHC)
7-for-23, 2 HR vs Hendricks
Greg Bird (vs TB)
3 HR, 7 RBI over the last four games
Hanley Ramirez, Mitch Moreland (vs HOU)
Affordable on both sites- Ramirez: $3600 DK/$2500 FD, Moreland: $3500 DK/$2700 FD
Albert Pujols, CJ Cron (@CHW)
Strictly for HR upside, few more possible RBI opportunities
Josh Bell (@WSH)
Good value on both sites, $3600 DK/$2400 FD
SECOND BASEMEN:
Daniel Murphy (vs PIT)
Nova struggles against lefties and on the road, what a combo
Jose Altuve (@BOS)
Tough matchup against E-Rod, but he does have the platoon advantage and great hitting conditions for a right-handed bat
Whit Merrifield (vs DET)
Hitting leadoff for a team poised to have a big night… Also has the platoon advantage vs Norris
Jed Lowrie (@TEX)
Pay up to be contrarian
THIRD BASEMEN:
Will Middlebrooks (vs OAK)

Elvis Andrus (vs OAK)
9-for-16, 2 XBH vs Manaea
Alcides Escobar (vs DET)
8-for-14, 3 XBH (1 HR) vs Norris
OUTFIELDERS:

* Davis: 3 HR, 6 RBI over the last six games… No strikeouts in 22 plate appearances
* Joyce: 8-for-24, 4 XBH (1 HR) vs Gonzalez
George Springer (@BOS)
Tough matchup, but Springer has always done well against lefties
Melky Cabrera (vs DET)
Still affordable ($3800 DK/$2900 FD) and batting in the top-third of the order
Andrew McCutchen, Starling Marte, Gregory Polanco (@WSH)
* McCutchen: 15-for-36, 6 XBH (3 HR) vs Jackson… Better value on FD ($3300)
