Danny’s Picks for the RealTime 50/50 Challenge, June 15, 2018

Want to take on the Creativesports 2.0 staff, braino-y-braino, at  DFS?

Well, you can indeed at RealTime Sports, matching up against my Creativesports 2.0 mates and me, and get some bragging rights in the process.

Tune in here daily, as we pick up the Creativesports 2.0 gauntlet where you can play our daily 50/50 game ($5) or come right after us — for we will rotate experts — on Fridays in the free Beat the Experts contest. Beat us and you can win $2, and that might be easier than you think!

There are deals on pitching today, with starters riding hot streaks facing off against less-than-fearsome hurlers and lineups. The weather looks to be cooperative across the slate, with a little rain possible in Atlanta but nothing to bench Freddie Freeman over.

Seth Lugo ($3500): Feel free to substitute Ross Stripling here, but I’m taking the converted Mets reliever fresh off six innings of two-hit ball with eight Ks and no walks against the monster Yankees lineup last week. The righty is sitting on a 1.77 ERA and 0.85 WHIP on the year with 47 strikeouts against just nine walks. He’s up against the struggling Diamondbacks and Zack Godley.

Miguel Andujar ($3400): The price is right on the 23-year-old third baseman, who has impressed during his rookie season, as if the Yankees deserve even more break-out players (Gleyber Torress is a similar DFS deal). Over the past month, Andujar is hitting .338 with a 1.063 OPS, five homers and 14 RBI. The underlying stats back up Andujar’s production thus far, plus he doesn’t like to walk — more swings for us.
