2015: SIERA: 3.56 — K Rate: 12.7% — K/9: 4.7 — BB Rate: 4.0% — GB Rate: 63.1%

Batter Grind Down
Colorado
Troy Tulowitzki (FD: $4300, DK: $4400)
Position Eligibility: FD: SS — DK: SS
2015 vs. LH Pitching: wOBA: 0.571 — ISO: 0.263 — OBP: 0.526
2014 vs. LH Pitching: wOBA: 0.556 — ISO: 0.436 — OBP: 0.515
Analysis: Tulowitzki is one of the best hitters in baseball, especially when there is a left-handed pitcher on the mound. He has a .571 wOBA and a .263 ISO against southpaws this season. Shortstop is an awfully thin position tonight and Tulowitzki is easily the top choice if you can afford him.
Secondary Plays:
Nolan Arenado (FD: $3600, DK: $4100)
Position Eligibility: FD: 3B — DK: 3B
2015 vs. LH Pitching: wOBA: 0.274 — ISO: 0.105 — OBP: 0.333
2014 vs. LH Pitching: wOBA: 0.414 — ISO: 0.286 — OBP: 0.375
LA Dodgers
Joc Pederson (FD: $4200, DK: $4400)
Position Eligibility: FD: OF — DK: OF
2015 vs. RH Pitching: wOBA: 0.461 — ISO: 0.400 — OBP: 0.443
2014 vs. RH Pitching: wOBA: 0.293 — ISO: 0.000 — OBP: 0.387
Analysis: The Dodgers may be the top offense to target tonight, as they draw a terrific matchup against Chad Bettis at home. They will likely be a popular stack and for good reason. Pederson gets the nod as the featured play because all he does is hit home runs. He currently has a .461 wOBA and a .400 ISO against right-handed pitching this season.
Secondary Plays:
Adrian Gonzalez (FD: $4500, DK: $4500)
Position Eligibility: FD: 1B — DK: 1B
