Phil Hughes-Twins-SP
Phil Hughes went 7.2 IP and gave up 3 ER on 7 H, 1 BB, and 3 K in the loss to the Royals. Hughes has gone back to the old Hughes after his breakout 2014 season. Hughes has once again gone back to giving up home runs again (1.59 HR/9). He is primarily a fly ball pitcher who throws mostly fastballs. Unfortunately, this is a recipe for disaster for someone who averages just 91 mph on his fastball. It looks more and more like 2014 was an outlier and Hughes is a very limited fantasy option at this point. He is only barely usable in AL-only leagues.
Chris Colabello-Blue Jays-OF
Chris Colabello was 1-5 with a RBI in the win against the Marlins. Colabello is hitting .349 with 4 HR and 20 RBI in 31 games. He has also thrown in 2 SB as well. Colabello had a hot start to 2014 in which he had 3 HR and 27 RBI through the first month, but didn't do anything the rest of the way. He is benefiting from an unsustainable .463 BABIP and if you can get anything for him, I would deal him while he has value, because he is unlikely to maintain this level of success.
Lance McCullers -Astros-SP
Lance McCullers went 7 IP and gave up 3 ER on 4 H, 0 BB, and 7 K in the loss to the White Sox. McCullers has been better than expected in his short stint in the major leagues. McCullers has a 2.31 ERA, 10.88 K/9, and an excellent 4.83 K/BB ratio. McCullers has shown good control and the ability to miss bats. He is primarily a two-pitch pitcher with a fastball and curve. His change-up has good movement, but he still lacks control and confidence in the pitch. It will be interesting to see how the league reacts to McCullers a second time around, because it is hard for two-pitch pitchers to maintain long term success.
Brian Dozier-Twins-2B
Brian Dozier was 1-3 and got caught stealing in the loss to the Royals. Dozier is slashing .268/11/28 with 3 SB. Dozier posted a 20/20 season a year ago, albeit with a .242 AVG. Dozier is never going to win a batting title, but he is still a useful fantasy entity. Dozier's .266 AVG is propped up by a .297 BABIP, because his contact has dropped from 84% to 78% and his SwStr% has increased from 6% to 9%. He will see a regression in his batting average, but the power is legit. Hopefully he can swipe a few more bases to make up for the drop in average.
DFS Plays of the Day
Rajai Davis-Tigers-OF
Rajai Davis has been playing mostly against LHP, which takes advantage of his platoon splits. He has posted a .374 wOBA and 141 wRC+ against LHP this year. Davis also has the ability to steal bases and Jon Lester's inability to throw over has led to numerous stolen bases this year. Davis will have the platoon advantage, plus lineup spot, and the ability to steal bases. This makes Davis an excellent play on Tuesday. Fanduel Value: $2,900
