This of course hinges on Springer returning to the lineup after getting hit in the head on Monday. If he plays, his numbers are insanely good. Loperfido is likely to play if Springer is out and his numbers are pretty good too, just a much lower sample size. Worth nothing that Wacha pitched decent in July, but Springer also has a .353 BvP against him.

TARGET MARKETS: H+R+R/TB (1u), HR (0.3u)

Quick note on the Target Markets section: These are the markets I’m going to be line/promo shopping for when the markets open up. Sometimes I will avoid them if they’re too juicy or the odds are just garbage (-130 and worse). Unit recommendation is a general guideline, but could change based on value.
