Total Bases

Jose Bautista
What a spot for Joey Bats today. He faces a retread lefty Chris Capuano in Yankee Stadium. If you are looking to fill those total bases with one swing of the bat, look no further. Bautista is in the top ten in the league in mashing against lefties with an OPS over 1.1000 and a crazy high 210 wRC+. Capuano hasn't been in the majors this season and gets kicks around to different teams for a reason. Yankee Stadium will do Bautista favors in the power department and this guy will be at the top of my total bases category for sure.

Khris Davis
Could make a case for a couple of the Brew Crew today but I'm going to go off board a bit with a guy who's rather quietly killed lefties this season. His .982 OPS on that side of the split is awesome and though he strikes out a ton, he doesn't walk much. That's kind of important in this format because you don't want his non-K PA's to be him taking free passes. You want him swinging away. And against Jon Niese I think you can expect him to have the bat on the ball.

 

Hits

Andrew McCutchen
Tyler Matzek is a lower K, lower walk lefty pitching in Coors against one of the true masters of this side of the platoon split. McCutchen has a low .900's OPS against lefties and that's with a .255 Babip in that split. That's kind of insane and when the Babip regresses you will see him vault up to the top of the league again. Coors is a great place for this to happen and I love him for multiple hits today and you could easily put him in the total bases category today.

Robinson Cano
Cano is a low strike out, low walk guy as well and that's a great spot to collect hits. Especially against a guy like Bud Norris who doesn't send many guys down on strikes. That's solid for Cano who, while having significant power issues, still has his bat on the ball enough for us to play him in this category.

 

Strikeouts

Clayton Kershaw
Chris Sale
Going complete chalk here and you should as well. There are a couple other decent options but no one rates anywhere close to these two aces. Kershaw is striking batters out at an insane 11.67 K/9 rate and even against the Cards who don't strike out as much, can be counted on for a ton of swings and misses on any given day. Meanwhile, Sale doesn't have quite the K rate, but that's only by comparison to one of the true greats. Sale is still a high K guy who limits the walks allowing him to go deep in games. I will have these two dudes in the top two spots for sure.
