BOOKMARK: Sporting News Fantasy
I know he didn’t grade out exceptionally high in this Playbook, but I really like Dustin Ackley tonight. Here is a guy who has been getting on base (.381 OBP), riding a five-game hitting streak, owns a .555 wOBA over his last five games, is striking out just 6.7 percent of the time and has been relatively unlucky of late as well (.222 BABIP in his last five games). I am going to have Ackley all over the industry tonight, that is for sure.
I’ve also decided to not pay for Kershaw, but instead pivot to Scherzer. He’s not a far drop, he’ll save me a little bit of money and he has a much inferior opponent (Phillies for Scherzer, Rockies for Kershaw). Joe Kelly is the guy that really intrigues me on two-pitcher sites tonight. I love guys who have a new pitch that they have been dominating with and who are underpriced based on previous career mediocrity.
