With the season winding down 🙁 some teams are just giving up and some are fighting for their lives. Though anything can happen in this game, the probability of an ace pitching deeper into a game or a hitter giving it his all is obviously greater in a team that has fight. We oddly have a full schedule (almost) of night games, but we're going to totally ignore 75% of the games on the schedule in favor of the aforementioned teams with fight.
Picks to Click for September 18, 2013:
SP Justin Verlander - He went seven strong innings versus Seattle last time out, and registered 12 K. Though they have wrapped up a playoff spot, the Tigers still have a shot for the best record in baseball, and after having a down year, Verlander is preparing for a deep playoff run.
1B Jason Giambi - Could this be it?? Could the Indians finally make the playoffs for the first time since Wild Thing Vaughn led them there? I don't know, but the Indians' grizzled veteran has some off-the-charts BvP stats versus Chen.
2B Dustin Pedroia - He's peaking at the right time for a surging Boston team.
3B Evan Longoria - By now, you know to get Longoria into your lineups when he faces a lefty. The icing on the cake is that the Rays are fighting, the Rangers are reeling, and the BvP numbers are off the charts.
SS Adrubal Cabrera - I expect the Indians to score a bunch of runs off Chen today, and Cabrera is near the price minimum. For a SS hitting near the middle of the order, I see him easily returning value far in excess of his price tag.
OF Michael Brantley - Lefty on lefty, but who cares? Chen isn't going to be in this game long anyways, but Brantley is nevertheless 9-for-17 off of him... That's a .529 average, so get him in your lineup.
