Make sure you check out our main picks article, as Brett touched on Martinez, Samardzija, Gonzalez, and Sale. They are all still very much in play and should be some of the more popular plays of the day. On the early slate, there are plenty of ways to go. If you feel like paying down a bit for a guy with crazy upside, take a look at Sean Manaea. The Athletics and Rays are playing a doubleheader today, with Manaea pitching in the later (4:00) game. Make sure he will accumulate fantasy points on the site you play him, as most sites will have a separate slate with this game on it. Manaea has been fantastic lately, topping 40 FanDuel points in 3 straight contests. He's striking out over 10 batters per 9 innings and only allowing a 3.71 xFIP. He's the real deal and while his K numbers may come down a bit, they certainly won't against this team. The Rays have struck out more than any other team vs lefties, at an insane 27.1%. They hold a pitiful .300 team wOBA and are basically inept against lefties. Steven Souza and Evan Longoria are the 2 bats to worry about, but Manaea has been incredible and just shut down an offense filled with guys like Josh Donaldson and Jose Bautista. I assume he'll be able to handle Longo in a pitchers park like Tropicana Field. All in all, there is always a lot of risk to target a young lefty like Manaea. However, on a day where ownership should be spread out, Manaea gives you a shot at 50 fantasy points at 5% owned.

While we haven't seen the dominant Marcus Stroman in a few weeks, he's showed a level of consistency that we haven't seen yet from him. He's working himself deeper into games and doing a great job of controlling the damage and big innings. He now moves into Safeco Field, which is a top 5 spacious ballpark in baseball. it plays right into the pitcher's hand and gives the opposing team a tough time to hit it out, especially at night. Stroman has sported a .294 wOBA against lefties and a .332 against righties. He's striking out close to 9 per innings, but still has his walk issues with a 2.64 BB/9. This Mariners offense isn't necessarily scary to righties, but they definitely have some firepower. Cano, Seager, and Cruz are all big worries and have the upside to go deep in any match-up. Afte them, you don't have much. Heredia, Valencia, and Motter are all lefty-specialists and strikeout a ton against right-handed pitching. The Mariners are implied to score less than 4 runs tonight, so Vegas agrees. If you're looking for a late night hammer on a slate with only a few options, take a look at Marcus Stroman.
