Here are some of the players the Touts are using to try to secure a trip to the 2020 Tout Daily Championship.
Phil Hertz (BaseballHQ, @prhz50)
Pitcher: Ross Stripling – Not really enamored with any of the choices tonight, but I’ll go with Stripling and hope the Dodgers let him go long enough for the win.
Hitter: Bryce Harper – Harper’s always been a hitter who can go on big streaks – he’s been on a roll, and I think he’ll keep it up for awhile.
Todd Zola (Mastersball, @toddzola)
Pitcher: Brandon Bielak – Went five innings last time, albeit with just one strikeout. Giants more productive than expected, but for the price I’ll use Bielak as SP2.
Hitter: Travis d’Arnaud – He hasn’t showed it this season, but d’Arnaud is plug and play with a lefty (Montgomery) on the hill. Plus, stacking Braves big time.
Jeff Boggis (Fantasy Football Empire, @JeffBoggis)
Pitcher: Dylan Bundy – Apparently Bundy only needed a change in scenery to from the east coast to the west coast to salvage his career. I’ll take him at a decent price tonight at $9,700. He’s averaging over a strikeout per inning, to go along with his 2.08 WRA and 0.60 WHIP.
Hitter: Fernando Tatis Jr. – Tatis Jr. has 6 home runs in the last 7 games. Time for him to start a new streak tonight! Salaried at $5,800, he does not come cheap, but he’s averaging 14.1 fantasy points per contest.
Jeff Erickson (Rotowire, @Jeff_Erickson)
Pitcher: Zack Wheeler – I figure most people will be on either Scherzer or Stripling – I’m hoping to be a little different with Wheeler and Plutko.
Hitter: Jose Martinez – Martinez’s $4,000 salary helps me afford Trout, Harper and Realmuto, and is against LHP Martin Perez with the wind blowing out in Fenway.
Little late to the party, I went with the pitching duo of Josh Lindblom at a cheap $5,800 and am pairing him with Max Scherzer. I’m liking Seattle’s Kyle Lewis tonight at $4000 vs. a lefty in Texas.
