Boston Right Handed Bats: The Red Sox are facing the Yankees’ J.A. Happ at Fenway. Righties are slugging to a .834 OPS against Happ. Mookie Betts ($4,500) and J.D. Martinez ($4,200) are the best bets and the most expensive. Xander Bogaerts ($3,900) is probably the best value for assured production. Christian Vazquez ($2,800) is the best pure value, and is hitting .283 at home with a .789 OPS. Brock Holt isn’t right handed, but he’s a steal at $2,500 considering he hits .330 at home with a .855 OPS.
Angels Bats: The Angels are facing righy Dylan Covey of the White Sox and likely a lot of the sad White Sox pen as Covey hasn’t been pitching very much. When he does it is to a 6.88 ERA on the season. Mike Trout is back on track, but coming at a slight discount ($4,600). Double check that he is in the lineup as he had a slight toe issue that should be minor. Shohei Ohtani is dirt cheap at $2,900. Justin Upton has hit three homer in September and is also cheap at $2,900, a great play today. David Fletcher is a steal at 3rd base ($2,700), and has averaged over 6 FanDuel points per game in September, and multiple hits in five of his last seven games.
