MLB Fantasy 6/15
We are back with another edition of MLB Fantasy Tonight! It is Friday so that means that every single team is playing. There are no day games today as every game will take place tonight. There are so many interesting match-ups so let's get started by looking at the pitcher position.
J Arrieta P 8200. It has been a good year for Jake Arrieta in his first season with the Phillies since leaving the Chicago Cubs. Arrieta has an ERA of 2.97 and a WHIP of 1.18. Although he is facing the first place Milwaukee Brewers tonight from the NL Central, Arrieta is VERY familiar with this line up as he has faced them a ton over the years as a Cubs pitcher. I like him to strike out double digits tonight and get the win.
A Rizzo C/1B 4100. Anthony Rizzo has been swinging the bat very well after a terrible start to the season. His back is all healed up and playing in the warm and humid weather has helped him get loose and get his swing going again. I really like him tonight against the fast ball throwing Cardinals pitcher, Michael Wacha. I think Rizzo will connect on a deep ball that will end up in the stands for a home run.
D Murphy 2B 3400. This is my must play tonight. Murphy spent most of the season on the DL but is healthy and back into the line up. He should be ready to go after getting his nerves out in his first start of the season. There is tremendous value at this price and he should punish Aaron Sanchez who has really struggled for the Toronto Blue Jays.
A Judge OF 4800. The stat line for Aaron Judge so far this year is ridiculous. He is playing great and has ripped 18 home runs with an on base % of .396 and a slugging % of .564. I really like him tonight at home against Nathan Eovaldi and think he will get home run 19 at Yankee Stadium. There may be high ownership with Judge tonight but that does not scare me from using him.
Good luck tonight in fantasy baseball. It should be a wild one with the entire MLB in action. Thank you for following @steemsports and you can find me @npl77
Great article. I like most of the plays. Rizzo certainly has some great numbers vs. Wacha. I'll be focusing mostly on Charlie Morton tonight along with Ross Stripling from the Dodgers. Feel like both are in elite spots but I guess it depends on what site you play (pricing). I also am interested in playing players from the Pirates, Rockies, and Indians. Not sure if you've checked out my blog before but I provide more "stack" related content. Great stuff, good luck tonight!
