Daily Fantasy: Baseball Line Up of the Day

I am going to to go with a showdown line up for today. The Red Sox and Astros are playing a four game series in Houston.

Here is my game one line up on Draft Kings. I spent pretty much my entire allotment on an Astros heavy line up.

Line Up:

Jose Altuve, 2B, Astros ($10,000)

Andrew Benintendi, OF, Red Sox ($9,800)

Carlos Correa, SS, Astros ($8,600)

Marwin Gonzalez, 1B/OF ($5,700)

George Springer, OF ($9,200)

Max Stassi, C, Astros ($6,400)

Total Spent: $49,700

Line-Up Thinking: My line up thinking is simple. Drew Pomeranz has been struggling thus far this season for the Red Sox. Pomeranz has an ERA of 6.75. While he has struck out 31 batters in 32 innings, he has also walked 19 batters during that same span. Pomeranz is prone to giving up the home run ball and in a small park like Minute Maid Park, it makes sense to go with an Astros heavy line up. That is why I drafted Altuve, Correia and Springer. Benintendi has been hot of late so he is the only Red Sox hitter I drafted.
