Daily Dime: Paying up for Jose Fernandez and stacking Blue Jays

Daily Dime: Paying up for Jose Fernandez and stacking Blue Jays

As always when playing Yahoo Daily Fantasy Baseball, be sure to check the final lineups and the weather.

My full lineup for Wednesday’s later slate:

SP: Jose Fernandez $56

SP: Mike Leake $34

C: Russell Martin $10

1B: Prince Fielder $11

2B: Kolten Wong $7

3B: Josh Donaldson $25

SS: Troy Tulowitzki $13

OF: Adam Jones $14

OF: Stephen Piscotty $21

OF: Chris Young $9

Fernandez is 18-1 with a 1.61 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP at home during his career...Leake has been a disappointment so far since joining St. Louis, but the Cardinals are -170 favorites against the Phillies, and obviously he should improve moving forward...Martin is off to a horrendous start, but that’s why he’s just $10.

Fielder is another player off to a slow start, and his current pace of 48 runs scored, 12 homers and 102 RBI would be quite the odd line if he finished with that. There are 16 first basemen priced higher than him, including Ryan Howard...Wong has been terrible but is the cheapest second baseman available. He shouldn’t be forgotten about.

Donaldson is on pace to hit 52 homers this season, and Colby Lewis is very homer prone, already serving up seven over just five starts (31.0 innings) so far this season...Jones has been a disaster so far, but that’s why he’s just $14, and he’s facing lefty CC Sabathia who owns a 5.06 ERA and a 1.69 WHIP with an average fastball velocity of just 88.2 mph (and a 7.3 SwStr%). He seems like the biggest bargain of the day.

Good luck with your contests Wednesday.
