Quite a day for pitching with Scherzer, Sale, and Syndergaard on the mounds. Will Keuchel throw 14 strikes instead of 14 hits that should have been strikes? Yankees’ and Indians’ hitters will probably be popular targets today, so let’s look at some bargain bargains that can separate you from the others.

Note there is a chance of thunderstorms in Miami.

Tyler Austin ($3200): Austin’s .509 SLG and .826 OPS against Southpaws gives the young First Baseman a good matchup today against Matt Boyd’s 4.33 ERA.

Eduardo Escobar ($4300): Escobar hits more for average (.278 avg) than home runs, but is playing in the hitter friendly Great American Ball Park where he just hit his 16th home run. The Switch Hitter will face Luis Castillo who struggles against lefties.
