Andrew Albers Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections
Andrew Moore scratched Saturday; Andrew Albers will start in his place
Moore has officially been scratched from his start in tonight's game against the Los Angeles Angels due to reported neck spasms. In his place, Andrew Albers will receive the starting nod for the Seattle Mariners this evening. Considering that Albers is a left-handed pitcher and a marginal downgrade from Manaea in terms of pitching ability, the Angels now suddenly become a more intriguing offense to target and the Los Angeles righties should see a noteworthy boost to their projected values on Saturday night's slate.
Felix Hernandez likely to be limited to 50 pitches tonight
As of a few days ago, the plan has been for Felix Hernandez to throw 50 pitches in his return from the DL tonight with Andrew Albers to follow. Hernandez hasn't pitched in a month and a half due to a shoulder issue. Unable to pitch in rehab games because the minor league season is over, tonight is essentially his rehab start, not that Texas is a particularly favorable spot for him either way. Hernandez's 10.4% Barrels/BBE is the highest on the slate, despite a hard hit rate and wOBA below the league average against batters from either side. He's kept RHBs grounded on 57.8% of batted balls, 20.9 points higher than against LHBs. Albers has pitched just 27 major league innings this year, with a 17.2 K%, 36 GB% and 5.7 Hard-Soft%. He had a 19.6 K-BB% in 120.2 IP at AAA this season (17 starts, nine relief appearances).
Maybin OUT as Tigers try to do better against Ranaudo with top run projection for second straight night
The Tigers tanked on the juicy James Shields matchup last night, but get a second shot at a terrible RHP in Anthony Ranaudo tonight. Batters from either side have a .350+ wOBA and 33+ Hard% through 74.1 big league innings over parts of the last three seasons. Detroit is once again the top projected offense on the board (5.74) and while this is a lineup that's a bit costly up top, they nearly all project well here, but may have a bit more value on FanDuel where they're a bit cheaper across the board. Cabrera (156 wRC+, .220 ISO vs RHP since 2015) and J.D. Martinez (140 wRC+, .245 ISO vs RHP since 2015) are the top bats, though Justin Upton (115 wRC+, .205 ISO vs RHP since 2015) has been coming on with a 197 wRC+ over the last week and still costs just $3.2K on FanDuel. Value seekers may want to look at Saltalamacchia (91 wRC+, .208 ISO vs RHP since 2015), who homered last night and Tyler Collins (103 wRC+, .172 ISO vs RHP since 2015), replacing Maybin in the second spot.
Struggling Indians projected for 5.67 runs against LHP who hasn't had a major league start since 2013
Cleveland faces their second straight LH offering from the Twins and while they've really struggled against LHP recently and are down to a 98 wRC+ with a 9.6 HR/FB against them on the season, they are still the second best home offense in baseball (121 wRC+) and face a pitcher making his first major league start since 2013. Andrew Albers is a low strikeout arm and has a bit of a platoon split, where 221 RHBs have a .334 wOBA with eight HRs against him in his career, mostly in 10 starts from 2013. Cleveland bats are projected for the second most runs tonight (5.67), but are more reasonably priced than normal, likely due to recent struggles. While only Jose Ramirez (118 wRC+ vs LHP this season) has a wRC+ above 92 over the last week, Napoli (147 wRC+, .260 ISO vs LHP since 2015) and Guyer (156 wRC+, .199 ISO vs LHP since last season) remain the best options here. Both have been struggling, but Guyer costs just $2.9K on FanDuel. Chris Gimenez has shined in limited work against southpaws since last season (142 wRC+, .309 ISO) and costs the minimum on FD for those looking to punt Catcher. Leadoff man Rajai Davis has just an 80 wRC+ vs LHP this season.
