High Value OF

Kevin Pillar-Toronto Blue Jays (3,100): Pillar has been showing signs of coming to life at the plate after being a offensive liability early in the season. He has multiple hits in six of his last nine games and has collected three home runs during that span as well. Since I think the Blue Jays will mash Andrew Nola tonight, look for Pillar to be a part of their production again this evening. ∗∗∗

Justin Upton-Detroit Tigers (2,900): Upton has been under-priced for a while, but he remains a nice bargain at under 3K tonight. He has hit safely in five straight bringing his average up to .230 for the season, but he has been better lately going 14-51 (.275) in June so far. He has usually hit lefties well and will try to continue his solid play this month tonight against the Royals’ Danny Duffy.∗∗

Cameron Maybin-Detroit Tigers (2,700): Upton’s teammate Cameron Maybin has even more dramatic splits against lefties coming into tonight’s contest going 15-37 (.405) against them with his only extra base hits of the season (two doubles and a homer) coming off lefties as well. Maybin started the season late, but he is making up for lost time and hitting .364 since joining the team in mid-May. At his price tonight, I love him in his matchup against Duffy. ∗∗∗∗

Aaron Hicks-New York Yankees (2,300): Hicks returns to Minnesota for the first time as a Yankee tonight and comes in with some momentum having gone 9-27 (.333) to start June. He isn’t known for his bat, but he should be motivated as he takes on his former teammate Kyle Gibson and the Twins tonight. ∗
