Total Bases

Hanley Ramirez
While it's true that Hanley's lost a step or two, you can't complain about his performance against left handed pitching this year. He's got a .402 wOBA against lefties this year, and that includes actual major league quality pitchers. On this night he faces Tyler Matzek in Coors Field. Oh, baby.

Michael Cuddyer
Cuddyer is simply a dynamic power hitter, and he particularly thrives at Coors. Haren's pitch to contact approach might work in the spacious Dodgers' home park, but it ain't gonna fly in the mile high air. I think Haren gets run from this game, and that Cuddyer is right in the center of it.
 

Hits

Robinson Cano
Cano has torn the cover off the ball this season, and while Cory Rasmus has some nice peripherals this year, it remains to be seen how those will translate away from the long relief role. Cano happens to hit righties better as well, but the main thrust of this ranking comes from the opposing pitcher.

Denard Span
With a 17.1% K + BB rate, Span tends to put balls in play. And when he does, he gets a hit about 32.1% of the time. That's mathspeak for "good at getting hits." And he's even better against righties than lefties. While Harang has been a little better than league average this year, it should stop Span from putting some hard hit balls in play.

Strikeouts

Corey Kluber
What's there to say about Kluber? 230 Ks against 46 BBs in 212.2 IP this year are purely ace numbers, and he's facing down a team that has struck out with the 3rd highest frequency of anyone in the majors. Kluber should go deep in this one, and if he does, a high K total feels like a lock.

Johnny Cueto
Speaking of ace, Cueto has really come into his own as a strike out pitcher this year. And he actually gets to face the Cubs, who are incidentally the single best match up in the league when it comes to opposing batter K%. These are two gems atop the K list today. I'll be playing them everywhere.
