5. Starlin Castro-SS-Chicago Cubs: The Cubs-Cardinals rivalry is always a great game to watch, and Starlin Castro should give his owners some extra incentive tonight.  He is 11-33 (.333) in his career against Lance Lynn with three doubles, a triple, and four RBI.

4. Brian McCann-C-New York Yankees: While McCann doesn’t have the power numbers of his teammate Carlos Beltran against Mark Buehrle, he has hit for a very solid average and makes a good play tonight.  In his career he is 11-27 (.407) against Buehrle with three doubles, a home run, and four RBI.

3. Adrian Beltre-3B-Texas Rangers: Beltre can go on absolute tears and should be lined up to contribute solid production tonight in Houston as the Rangers wrap up a three-game set against their in-state rivals. In his career, Beltre is 5-10 (.500) against Astros starter Samuel Deduno with a double, triple, and a pair of home runs.

2.  Jason Heyward-OF-St. Louis Cardinals: On the opposite side of the Cards-Cubs rivalry from Starlin Castro, Jason Hayward should be in a good place to produce tonight as he takes on Jon Lester.  Heyward is 7-12 (.583), with four doubles, and a home run against Lester in his career, so don’t be afraid to roll with him even in this lefty-vs-lefty matchup.

1. Victor Martinez-DH-Detroit Tigers: In one of the most unusual batter vs pitchers splits of the day, V-Mart absolutely owns Chris Sale of the White Sox who usually makes the entire lineup he’s facing a big “AVOID” from a fantasy perspective. That’s definitely not the case for Martinez though, who is 15-32 (.469) in his career against the White Sox ace with three doubles and three home runs.
