Buy 'Em
- Jacoby Ellsbury is 20-for-46 with seven extra-base hits in his career against Jeremy Guthrie.
- Jose Tabata is 14-for-33 (.424) with four XBH lifetime against Kyle Lohse. Teammate Neil Walker (.333/.459/.600 in 30 at-bats) has also hit well against Lohse.
- Marlon Byrd is 7-for-12 with a homer and a double in his career against Johnny Cueto.
- You always want Derek Norris in your lineup when the A's are facing a lefty. He's hitting .322/.414/.559 against southpaws this year, so use him against Wei-Yin Chen. Fellow AL West catcher Mike Zunino (.310/.355/.534) has also enjoyed success against lefties, so he's worth a stream against Erik Bedard.
- Brock Holt has killed lefties to the tune of a .395/.426/.535 line this season. He's a good bet to produce atop the Red Sox lineup against Drew Smyly.
- Drew Stubbs has majorly favorable splits at home and against lefties. He gets both today when he faces Hyun-jin Ryu in Colorado.
Sell 'Em
- Mark Teixeira is just 2-for-21 lifetime against Guthrie.
- Brandon Phillips is just 4-for-30 with seven Ks against Cole Hamels.
- You're not going to bench Hunter Pence, but the Giants might. Pence is just 3-for-26 with seven Ks in his career against Jon Niese.
- Ian Desmond offers little value against lefties, hitting just .170/.250/.277 against them this year. Even against Eric Stults, he's a risk.
