The following Spotlight Hitters were selected by Awesemo.com’s Director of Content Josh Engleman. Please check back later for notes/additional picks from Awesemo himself.
Jose Ramirez
FD: $4500
DK: $4800
The Indians are one of my top team to stack today, and Jose Ramirez is the best play from that bunch. Whether he’s hitting from the left or right sight of the plate, Ramirez is always solid, sporting what is essentially the same slash line. A match-up with the slightly homer-happy Kevin Gausman awaits.
Marcus Semien
FD: $3600
DK: $3400
This play works on both sites, but it’s significantly better for the DraftKings crew. Semien has a discount price against Matt Moore and the Rangers. Moore is…not the best, and Semien has shown pop versus lefties throughout his career, as evidenced by his career .194 ISO. The A’s have the second highest implied total outside of Coors, which makes Semien an excellent play at shortstop tonight.
Wil Myers
FD: $3100
DK: $4700
Now, for the FanDuel faithful, I give you Wil Myers. The Padres are severely under-priced heading into Coors, and Wil Myers looks to be the biggest benefactor of that discount. Chad Bettis struggles to miss bats, which generally makes for a long night in the thin Colorado air. I’ll end up with a lot of Wil Myers tonight.
