Well how about that butt kicking the Jays took last night?  That was embarrassing, I hope nobody rostered Drew Hutchison in their DFS lineups, because boy that had to sting.  Tuesday's are awesome, you know why? Because every team plays on Tuesday, with no split schedule - so we really need to pick and choose our spots carefully.  I refrained from overloading on Nationals, Rockies, Diamondbacks, and Tigers for one reason - you don't need "expert advice" to know to take those players.   With that being said, I picked some players you might find interesting outside the mentioned teams.

All players prices are based on FanDuel pricing

SP - Jacob deGrom , New York Mets, $7,700 - I like deGrom as a tournament play, he has plenty of upside against a strikeout happy Mariners team.  He also has potential to get a win here since Erasmo Ramirez is taking the mound for the Mariners.

C - Buster Posey, San Francisco Giants, $3,300 - Posey is on fire right now, he is reminding us all why he is the "catcher God".  He faces Roberto Hernandez a right handed pitcher who struggles mightily against RHB.

1B - Mike Napoli, Boston Red Sox, $3,400 - Every time Napoli comes to Toronto he murders the Blue Jays, it's not even funny - maybe he has some ill will towards them for trading him before he ever donned a Jays jersey.  Napoli is a lefty crusher, and he gets a pretty weak one today in J.A. Happ, Napoli has tremendous GPP upside tonight.

2B - Anthony Rendon, Washington Nationals, $3,900 - Rendon did squat last night, but I am going to give him another go today against another lefty.

3B - Josh Donaldson, Oakland Athletics, $3,500 - The true lefty crusher gets Brett Oberholtzer today at home in Oakland.  Donaldson did cool off in June, but he seems to be picking up some steam again, enjoy the low price while you can.

SS - Starlin Castro, Chicago Cubs, $2,800 - I really like Castro tonight against Eric Stults.  Stults has terrible road splits, and Castro's price has come down so much as of late this is actually a great value price.

OF - Jacoby Ellsbury, New York Yankees, $4,000 - It's really hard to fade Ellsbury right now, he is stealing bases, getting hits, and even hitting for power.  His price has gone up since yesterday, but its justified.

OF - Carlos Gonzalez, Colorado Rockies, $3,600 - CarGo has been pretty quiet since returning from is DL stint, but he is still one of baseballs best players.  I am not a big fan of Jordan Zimmermann, and though I don't expect the Rockies to light him up, CarGo is a great play.

OF - Dayan Viciedo, Chicago White Sox, $2,800 - Viciedo is a perfect BVP play tonight, he absolutely murders Bruce Chen every time they face one another.  I expect Viciedo to hit cleanup, and be a great value GPP play.

As always please check lineups and weather conditions before rosters lock, nothing is worse than having inactive players on a daily fantasy roster.

Come join me and other FakeTeam writers along with the whole SB Nation in some DFS fun, turn $2 in to $1200.
