My full lineup (for all games starting after 4 pm PT):
SP: Noah Syndergaard ($56) - A top 5 fantasy ace, and the hardest-throwing one at that. Even against a surging Royals team, pay the premium
SP: Colby Lewis ($39) - Has delivered a Quality Start in nine of his past 10 outings, and a Win in four of his past six turns
C: Yadier Molina ($8) - 7-for-16 (.438) in his career against Cubs RHP Jason Hammel
1B: Paul Goldschmidt ($24) - Has homered in three of his past six games, and is 1-for-3 with a HR in his career against Toronto RHP Marco Estrada
2B: Devon Travis ($12) - Bat has caught fire with 12 hits in his past six games, including two home runs and four doubles - faces Tampa Bay rookie LHP Blake Snell, who allowed eight hits and three walks in 3.1 IP in his last outing (his second MLB appearance)
3B: Todd Frazier ($13) - Has been ice cold of late, but he does have 19 home runs on the season and is facing Boston RHP Clay Buchholz, who has allowed 12 home runs in his 56.2 IP as a starter this season
SS: Corey Seager ($16) - Enters contest on a five-game hitting streak that includes multiple hits in each of his past three games - he'll host Washington RHP Tanner Roark, who owns a 4.07 ERA on the road (vs. 2.25 at home)
OF: Joc Pederson ($13) - Pederson has 13 home runs on the season, including five in his past nine games - he's also hit 12 of his long balls against righties, and he'll face Washington RHP Tanner Roark
OF: Michael Taylor ($9) - Taylor has been hot in June, with a 1.026 OPS for the month, and he's been especially strong against southpaws on the year (.912 OPS) - he'll face Dodgers LHP Scott Kazmir (4.64 ERA)
OF: Brett Gardner ($8) - Gardner gets a home tilt (where he owns an OPS mark that is more than 250 points higher than his road clip) against Colorado RHP Chad Bettis, who has produced the eighth-highest road ERA (5.52) among starters this season
