Chris Johnson Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Jorge de la Rosa had a high walk rate (9.8%) and has allowed a lot of hard contact (35.0%). Estimators three runs below his ERA (7.61) are still above four, but the one thing he has been able to do throughout his career is miss bats at around a league average rate (19.4 K% career, 23.0% this year). The Marlins have an 88 wRC+ at home and 15.6 K-BB% vs LHP. On the road, in a not terrible spot, de la Rosa could serve as a reasonable near punt, who's likely to be ignored by most other players, in secondary spot on two pitcher sites if paying up for one of the big three tonight. If not using him or on one pitcher sites, RHBs have a .345 wOBA with a 33% hard hit rate since last season, though we have to factor Coors into that. Giancarlo Stanton (109 wRC+, .244 ISO vs LHP this season) has started to pick up the pace (179 wRC+ last seven days) and is still very affordably priced tonight. Marcell Ozuna (223 wRC+, .339 ISO vs LHP this season) may be the top bat here. The cheap play (because you'll probably need several tonight) is Chris Johnson. He hasn't been good (93 wRC+ vs LHP this season), but he is batting 5th and has a 57.1 Hard% over the last week for less than $3K.
