Brandon Moss has four HRs in 21 PAs against Chris Young and a .408 ISO vs RHP this year

Chris Young has allowed 21 HRs in 53.2 innings, 14 of them to LHBs this season. He has actually handled RHBs well since last season (.257 wOBA), which may explain the absences of Molina and Piscotty tonight, but LHBs have torched him for a .383 wOBA and 39.9 Hard%. To make matters worse, Kendrys Morales will be roaming the large OF tonight in an NL park. Perhaps the Royals don't expect many batted balls to actually remain in the yard. Heavy exposure to as many LHBs as possible is recommended tonight. Chris Carpenter (162 wRC+, .271 ISO vs RHP since 2015) is tonight's top bat with a 225 wRC+ and 50 Hard% over the last week. Kolten Wong (103 wRC+ vs RHP since 2015) bats 2nd for around $3K on either site. Brandon Moss (176 wRC+, .408 ISO vs RHP this season) has four HRs in 21 career plate appearances against Young with a 100 mph aEV in three batted balls since last season. Even Garcia (128 wRC+ vs RHP since 2015) and Pena (91 wRC+ vs RHP since 2015) offer something at very low costs (minimum price on FanDuel) tonight.
