Small Sample Size Special: As the Red Sox continue their series at Fenway, David Ortiz-DH-Boston Red Sox is a power option to consider even though he’s in a lefty-lefty matchup. Ortiz has had success against Rays’ starter Drew Smyly and comes into tonight 5-10 in their previous meetings with a double and a home run.

10. Jose Bautista-OF-Toronto Blue Jays: The Blue Jays and Yankees continue to battle atop the AL East tonight on ESPN after the two teams split the first two games of the series. Joey Bats is a good play for tonight as he takes on Ivan Nova who he has gone 7-19 (.368) against in the past with a pair of doubles, a home run, and six RBI.

9. Brandon Crawford-SS-San Francisco Giants: One of the best games for batter vs pitcher numbers in on the West Coast where the Giants are visiting the Padres. Andrew Cashner takes the mound for the Padrews which sets up well for Brandon Crawford to be a sneaky fantasy play at SS. Crawford is 5-11 (.455) in his career against Cashner including a homer, a pair of RBI, and a pair of walks as well.

8. Freddie Freeman-1B-Atlanta Braves: The Braves are also playing a divisional series as they take on the Mets this week at Citi Field. Tonight Atlanta faces veteran Bartolo Colon who Freddie Freeman has had success against in the past going 9-20 (.480) with three doubles and two RBI.
