If you’ve ever wished that all the baseball games in a day started at the same time, you come pretty close to getting that wish today with almost all the MLB action start at just after 7:00 PM.  There are a pair of afternoon games and four late starts, but the other nine games will all get underway at just about the same time.  With so many games at once, they’ll be plenty for fantasy baseball owners to focus on, so lets get our daily fantasy baseball lineups ready with a look at the top 10 batter vs pitcher matchups to target on this Saturday, August 15.

Each morning of the baseball season, you can find this kind of post here on Fansided highlighting the top 10 batter vs pitcher matchups of the day.  I choose my top options each day based on the batter’s individual history against the probable starting pitcher they are scheduled to face. Just because a batter has a good history against the opposition starter doesn’t guarantee future results, but batter vs pitcher history is definitely an important factor to factor into your start/sit decisions whether your putting together a daily fantasy baseball lineup or looking to boost your season-long team.

For all Fansided’s fantasy baseball coverage check out the fantasy baseball hub. If you have any questions about our coverage in general or specifically about your lineup for today, you can find me @FansidedFantasy on Twitter where I’ll be happy to help you out any way that I can.

If you are looking to try out the daily league fantasy baseball league format, one option to consider is FanDuel where you can find daily competitions for each day of the MLB season. You can get there by clicking the link in the box above or the link at the end of the post. FanDuel is just one of the many sites you can play daily fantasy baseball on, and each format varies a bit based on scoring and roster structure.

There are a good number of young arms taking the field today, so the track records for today’s top 10 are a bit shorter than for my usual picks. However, there are some players who have had some good success in their limited meetings against their opponent today, so we’ll start with some small sample size stars before finishing with some big bats with some power in their past.

I do my best each morning to include a variety of positions and teams to help you find as many fits as possible. It’s a busy evening schedule this Saturday, so let’s jump in to today’s top ten batter vs pitcher matchups to attack.
