High Value Outfielders

Odubel Herrera $3300 – Herrera is hitting .275 with three runs batted in and five runs scored. He gets a great matchup against the Mets righty Zach Wheeler and his 7.45 earned run average. Wheeler has a real weakness versus left handed batters, allowing them to smash .428 against him this season. Herrera will look to jump on Wheeler and the Mets early in this one. ***

Andrew Toles $2600 – Toles is averaging just .229 at the plate, but has three home runs, six runs batted in, and six runs scored on the season. He gets a great matchup against the Rockies lefty Kyle Freeland, who is allowing left handed batters to hit .590 against him. The Dodgers are projected to score one of the highest run totals on the slate, so except Toles to be heavily involved in their offensive attack. **

Each one of my picks is ranked on a scale of one to five stars. The more stars that a pick receives represents the level of confidence I have in that selection. Players that receive five stars (*****) should be considered must start players, where as players with one star (*) are options that should only be considered in low price ranges.
