David Wright, 3B, at Phi (Morgan), $12: Oh, hey, look who's back, batting cleanup...

Wright hasn't actually played in forever, true. But that's the reason he's only $12. He's a lefty-mauler facing a less-than-stellar LHP, so that works. For his career, Wright has hit a ridiculous .341/.434/.574 against southpaws. I'm in at this price.

Kendrys Morales, 1B, vs. Bal (Jimenez), $14: Morales is dirt-cheap by first base standards, and he's homered twice against Ubaldo (and doubled once) in 16 career at-bats. Kendrys is also reaching base at a .390 clip this month, so it's not as if he's struggling.

Tucker Barnhart, C, vs. Det (Farmer), $7: As many of you know by now, I'm always dealing in the junk-catcher market. Here we have a minimum priced backstop who's been decent against righties (.279/.361/.395), facing a RHP who's been crushed by LHBs (28-for-74, 5 HR, 8 BB).

Neil Walker, 2B, at Mia (Koehler), $17: Walker has done most of his hitting — all 13 of his HRs, .796 OPS — against right-handers. Koehler, of course, is a completely un-threatening righty.

Greg Bird, 1B, vs. Hou (Feldman), $10: Bird is off to a decent start, clearly, having reached base safely in each of his last eight games. He's batting sixth for the Yanks against Feldman, and the price is right. If you're spending, say, $109 on pitching on Monday (deGrom and Iwakuma), then you're going to need to sketch in your roster with Bird and Barnharts.

Various Boston bats, at CWS (Samardzija): A few of the brand-name Red Sox sluggers have hit Samardzija well over the years. Ortiz is 3-for-6 (two doubles), Panda is 4-for-10 (two HRs), Hanley is 10-for-23. Find a spot for one or two of these guys. Samardzija has allowed 31 hits and 23 runs in 22.1 innings this month.

Nelson Cruz, OF, vs. Oak (Doubront), $23: No, he's not any sort of bargain. But he is a destroyer of worlds, with silly numbers for the season and even sillier stats in August (.351/.425/.818). And he makes left-handers cry (.369 AVG, 1.150 OPS).
