Underdog Fantasy Daily Pick’Em Entry – August 31
Ozzie Albies – Higher than 0.5 Singles
Albies has been hot lately for the Braves. The switch hitting second baseman has five hits in the last two games, and all five of them are singles. If you want to peel it back a bit further, he’s hitting .338 through the month of August and doing so with only eight extra-base hits. The match-up with the Dodgers will be a bit tougher than what he’s been facing, but one single certainly seems easy enough.
Joan Adon – Less than 2.5 Earned Runs
In three of Adon’s last five starts, he’s held opponents under this 2.5 number. The best part of all of that? The fact that one of those starts, his last one, was against the same Marlins team he faces today. In fact, he held them scoreless over six innings and held them to just three hits with no walks.
The additional bonus here is the lack of walks he’s had lately. Over four starts this month, he’s only walked four guys, which means the Marlins are going to have to earn their runs. And that’s something they haven’t been doing a lot of as of late.
Matt Manning – Higher than 17.0 Pitching Outs
On one hand, looking at pitching projections against the Yankees as they heat up can be kind of scary. However, Manning has been a stable force for the Tigers. He’s allowed only one earned run in his last three starts combined. That’s 17.2 innings of work. Because their bullpen hasn’t been world class, they’ve let him get deeper into games. He’s only failed to hit this mark one time in his last five starts – so I say he does it again at home on Thursday.
