3. Dustin Pedroia-2B-Boston Red Sox: While some of his numbers go back a ways to before Scott Kazmir became a solid MLB starter, Dustin Pedroia has a well established pattern of success against the former-Ray.  Pedroia has been swinging a hot bat and will look to keep it rolling tonight against Kazmir as he looks to build on his 19-40 (.475) career mark against him including  five doubles, a triple, two home runs, and five RBI.

2. Jose Bautista-DH-Toronto Blue Jays: Bautista and the Blue Jays return home tonight after taking two of three in Washington.  Tonight, they’ll take on the Astros and veteran right-hander Roberto Hernandez.  Bautista is 7-17 (.412) against the starter formerly known as Fausto Carmona with just one single to go with three doubles, a triple, and a pair of home runs.

1. Yoenis Cespedes-OF-Detroit Tigers: Cespedes was forced to leave yesterday’s game with the flu, but if he is recovered enough to play tonight, you’ll definitely want him in your lineup.  The Tigers know White Sox starter Jose Quintana well and they’ve had success against him as evidenced by their three players on this list.  Cespedes leads the way, though, with a 6-9 (.667) career mark against Quintana.  The really exceptional part is that four of his six hits have been home runs and he also has a double giving him 19 total bases in just nine at-bats against Quintana. Hopefully those numbers help him have a rapid recovery and be back in the lineup tonight.
