Time to get under the hood and locate where today’s action is. With the Cincinnati Reds looking like The Big Red Machine of old lately, it’s time to ride the machine. We also can’t ignore the possibilities in Baltimore/Toronto, we’ll dive into all the hitting plays after the jump, but let’s kick things off with SP Max Fried at $8,000. With at least 5 innings in each of his past 10 appearances dating back to June 6th and facing the newly horrendous, Washington Nationals, Fried will definitely be worth a shot today and is a great place to start building your lineups.

Zach Plesac, SP: $7,400
Plesac has had a tough run of late, but this opponent could turn his fortunes around.
Joey Votto, C/1B: $4,100
Votto has been scorching hot his last 30 games, batting 320 with 13 home-runs.
Ji-Man Choi, C/1B: $3,000
Choi will look to up an 11.5 barrel rate and a .246 expected average in this hitters haven.
Mike Moustakas, 2B: $2,500
At $2,500, as long as Moustakas is in the line-up in this potent offense, he is a worthy play.
Brandon Lowe, 2B: $3300
Even though Lowe is hitting for a “low” average, a career-high 12.9% walk rate demonstrates strides toward being a more balanced hitter.
Austin Riley, 3B: $3,500
Riley continues a two-week hot stretch that’s seen the third baseman go 22-for-55.
Abraham Toro, 3B: $2,500
In seven games for Seattle, Toro is slashing .440/.500/.920 with three of his nine homers on the season.
Wander Franco, SS: $3,000
Franco has been on an impressive tear as he’s produced a .319/.373/.447 slash line over the 51 plate appearances covering his previous 12 games.
Gleyber Torres, SS: $2,900
Torres has gone 6-for-15 with three doubles, five RBI, a run and a stolen base across the last four games.
Jesse Winker, OF: $4,100
Winker is off to a scorching start to August, hitting .421 (8-for-19) with six extra-base hits in six games.
Adam Duval, OF: $3,200
The 32-year-old has seen his slash line sag to .228/.283/.470 across 368 plate appearances, but he’s been productive in the counting stats with 23 home runs, 74 RBI, 44 runs scored and five stolen bases this season.
Nelson Cruz, OF: $3,500
