PITCHER
Lance McCullers Jr., HOU at TEX ($10,800): I'm starting my lineup with consistency and that's what McCullers brings. He has at least 19 fantasy point in his last six starts and he already carved up the Rangers a month ago, striking out 10. That makes sense as Texas has a fairly high 22.5 percent K rate with a mediocre .323 wOBA against righties.
Jon Lester, CHC vs. STL ($10,600): The hope is that Lester forgets about his last start in which he was lit up for six runs, and there's no reason he can't. In his four starts before that, he struck out 33, including nine in a loss to the Cardinals. Now at home as a sizable favorite, he can turn that into a win against St. Louis, which has one of the worst wOBAs (.285) in the league against lefties.
CATCHER
Kurt Suzuki, ATL at CIN ($3,200): Suzuki has been R.A. Dickey's main catcher this season so expect him to get the call again Saturday. He's been solid in relief of Tyler Flowers this season with a .331 wOBA against righties, and that should be enough as a cheaper play. Scott Feldman has been inconsistent, allowing at least four runs in two of his last three starts to go with a .328 wOBA allowed against righties.
FIRST BASE
Justin Smoak, TOR vs. NYY ($4,200): Smoak is an easy choice against any lefty due to his .513 wOBA, .361 ISO and 4.8 percent K rate against them. Jordan Montgomery has been fine, but his 22.5 percent K rate against righties shouldn't be a huge factor and he still has a high 4.58 xFIP.
SECOND BASE
Scooter Gennett, CIN vs. ATL ($3,700): Gennett hasn't been reliable this season but he's been used more against righties, so he'll get a good spot here against Dickey. Gennett has a .358 wOBA against righties and while he strikes out a bit (24.1 K%), that may not matter against Dickey, who has a 6.3 percent K rate and 6.50 xFIP against lefties.
THIRD BASE
Marwin Gonzalez, HOU at TEX ($4,600): With the way Gonzalez has been hitting (at least two hits in six of last 10 games), it's an easy choice to use him against a righty as seen in his .459 wOBA and .374 ISO. Andrew Cashner continues getting deep into games, but his low K rate (8.8 percent) against lefties means Gonzalez will have his opportunities to get another two-hit game.
SHORTSTOP
Asdrubal Cabrera, NYM vs. PIT ($3,600): It's wise to grab at least one lefty against Tyler Glasnow and Cabrera comes on the cheap end. Glasnow allowed eight hits and five runs to the Mets in his last start and has allowed at least two runs in every start this season. Cabrera has a solid .333 wOBA against righties and has been even better since the start of May with a .402 wOBA.
OUTFIELD
Leury Garcia, CWS at DET ($3,600): This isn't the first White Sox player I'm recommending against Jordan Zimmermann. The hurler has struggled against both sides of the plate but has been slightly worse against lefties, allowing a .401 wOBA and 5.29 xFIP. As for Garcia, he continues to prove valuable at the top of the lineup, especially against righties with a .358 wOBA and .248 ISO.
Avisail Garcia, CWS at DET ($3,700): Between Garcia and Melky Cabrera ($3,900), Garcia has a bit more pop against righties, so that's the play here. His .358 wOBA and .222 ISO is good enough to take against Zimmermann, who has allowed at least four runs in seven of his last nine outings.
J.D. Martinez, DET vs. CWS ($5,100): With these two teams producing 20 runs Friday, we might as well try to go after them again, so here's a play on the Tigers. Martinez's early success is well documented with a .389 wOBA and .351 ISO against righties. His 23.5 percent K rate may not matter against Miguel Gonzalez, who has a 12.6 percent K rate against fellow righties to go with a 5.58 xFIP. Even better, Gonzalez has given up 25 runs in his last six starts.
