Let’s get into it!

Stud:

Trae Turner- Turner gets an elite matchup vs Kelly from Arizona. Feel like I go into this everyday but when spending up and paying the price that we are with Turner, they need to have a power and speed combo. Kelly is historically slow to the plate so this is an elite stolen base spot for Turner. I will be prioritizing him today.

Austin Meadows- Meadows will lead off for the Rays tonight, I like to target Meadows when hes hitting in this spot. For a leadoff hitter, Meadows packs a ton of punch. He is hitting in a friendly matchup vs Lyles that allows a .368 wOBA vs left-handed hitters!.

Value:

Yandy Diaz- Let’s stay in Tampa and go with my favorite value play of the slate Yandy Diaz. Diaz is hitting fourth for the Rays today. I want to be aggressive on the Rays today and the combo of Meadows + the middle of the order is very appealing. Yandy has the perfect combo of matchup and price that we love to invest in.
