Valencia has a 97.5 mph aEV vs Martin Perez on nine recorded batted balls
The A's have just a team 95 wRC+ vs LHP, but are a bit of a stars and scrubs lineup with the top half of the lineup pulverizing LHP with each of the top three above a 150 wRC+ and .250 ISO and Khris Davis (117 wRC+, .242 ISO) not far behind. Valencia has a 97.5 mph aEV against Perez on nine recorded batted balls. While there's some value in all of these bats in Texas against a pitcher whom RHBs have a .342 wOBA against with 12 HRs this season, it's even more so the case on FanDuel where they are all below $3.5K. Players may consider adding Brett Eibner (126 wRC+, .244 ISO vs LHP this year) for the minimum on FanDuel.
The Royals have four batters with a 120+ wRC+ vs LHP, three with a .200+ ISO also
Cole Hamels has a career high 83.2 LOB% that's kept his 2.87 ERA well below his SIERA (4.16), xFIP (4.10) and FIP (4.27). In additiona, he's been incredibly inconsistent from start to start in terms of strikeouts (four or less in three of his last four starts), walks (at least three in three of his last four starts) and HRs (11 of his 16 over a seven game stretch in May and June). There are enough strong pitchers on the mound tonight that he should be an easy enough fade at a high cost and the Royals striking out just 17.7% vs LHP. He's not someone we'd normally think about attacking either, but the Royals have four RHPs with a wRC+ above 120 against LHP this season, all costing $3.6K or less on either site with three of them carrying an ISO above .200 vs southpaws as well. Those are Kendrys Morales (129 wRC+, .239 ISO), Cheslor Cuthbert (124 wRC+, .214 ISO), Paulo Orlando (121 wRC+, .091 ISO) and Brett Eibner (156 wRC+, .250 ISO vs LHP), who bats eighth, but costs the minimum on FanDuel.
