MLB Triple Play Contest is a Staple at DraftTeam
Happy Tuesday, everyone. What could be happy about a Tuesday? Simple. DraftTeam holds a $2,000 MLB Tuesday Triple Play contest every week. If that doesn’t alter your perception of this day, we don’t know what would. What’s that? Free beer? Well, yes, we suppose that would work, too.
Let’s get you set for play on Tuesday, July 21.
Just over a month ago, we advised picking up Yankee 3B Alex Rodriguez ($10,583). He needed just one more hit to join the 3,000-hit club. Sure enough, he homered that night to hit the mark. On Tuesday, however, we’re going to avoid A-Rod. He came out of the break playing impressively (see video below).
Now, he is just 1-for-8 with five Ks in the last two games. More importantly, Rodriguez has always struggled against Baltimore SP Wei-Yin Chen (2-for-13 with five strikeouts). Yes, ARoid is enjoying a tremendous comeback season. If you’re looking for a 3B for Tuesday, spend a bit more and get Kyle Seager ($11,363). You can thank us tomorrow.
At the beginning of the season, we talked about Washington SS Ian Desmond ($4,745). He was the only big leaguer with three straight 20-20 seasons. We wondered what he had planned for 2015, the final season of his contract. Well, this was obviously not what he had in mind.
We’re past the 90-game mark now. Desmond has yet to reach double digits in homers or steals. His batting average has plummeted to career worst levels. He’s struggled to hit his way out of a wet paper bag.
Yet, we are going to recommend him as a sneaky cheap option. Yes, Desmond has to face the nasty Jacob DeGrom. However, we like the life his bat showed Monday. He smoked a two-run dinger and singled to snap a 3-for-44 skid. Desmond is someone that’s feasted on Mets pitching at Nationals Park (.339 in the last 16 games there), so take that into consideration as well.
DFS Notes
- Tonight marks the MLB debut of SP Aaron Nola ($14,693), one of the top prospects for the Phillies. The seventh overall pick from last year has soared through the minors very quickly, and we like his matchup tonight (vs. TB).
- Seattle SP Taijuan Walker ($19,142) was on a major roll as July began. However, in his last two starts, the bubble has burst. He pitched 11 innings, allowing 13 hits, 12 runs, 11 earned runs, and 3 home runs. His ERA has risen a half a run based on this pair of duds.
- Los Angeles Dodgers SP Clayton Kershaw (next scheduled to pitch Thursday) was looking somewhat human in late-June. However, he is really rounding into form since then. He has allowed just two earned runs over his last 31 innings.
