High Value Outfielders

Aaron Judge $3100 – Judge is hitting .250 with four home runs, 11 runs batted in, and nine runs scored on the season. He is averaging 12.33 fantasy points per game in 13 games played and has one of the hottest bats on the Yankees. He gets a fantastic matchup today against the White Sox righty Dylan Covey, who allows right handed batters to hit .439 against him. Covey only strikes out 4% of his opposing batters, basically guaranteeing that Judge will make contact with some pitches, and it seems like every time he gets a hold of one it goes for extra bases. *****

Steven Souza Jr. $2900 – Souza is hitting .321 with two home runs, ten runs batted in, and eight runs scored on the year. He is averaging 11.44 fantasy points per game and gets a good matchup against the Tigers righty Jordan Zimmerman. Zimmerman allows right handed batters to slash .369 against him and will be dragging a 5.06 earned run average into Tropicana field. ***

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.
