3. Welington Castillo-C-Arizona Diamondbacks: Castillo has slumped a big after his power-surge early in the month, but he actually has good career numbers against Pirates’ ace Gerrit Cole who the Snakes face tonight. Castillo is 4-11 (.364) with a double and a pair of RBI against Cole in their previous meetings, so Castillo is a solid option to save money with as long as he gets the start tonight at PNC Park.

2. Logan Morrison-1B-Seattle Mariners: While you wouldn’t think that facing southpaw Cole Hamels is a good matchup for the left-handed hitting Morrison, he actually has a solid history and could earn the start against his former NL East opponent tonight in Arlington.  LoMo is 9-24 (.375) in his career against Hamels including three doubles and a pair of RBI.

1. Jason Castr0-C-Houston Astros: Catcher can be a tricky fantasy spot to fill, so give Jason Castro a look tonight since he has a good history against Rays’ starter Erasmo Ramirez.  In his career, Castro is 3-6 (.500) with a double, home run, and three RBI against the Rays’ righty.
