Daily Fantasy Baseball Hitter Analysis Thursday 8-16-2012
Posted on Aug 16th, 2012 07:58 AM
After getting shutout in their last three games the Marlins offense scored 9 runs yesterday against Roy Halladay and the Phillies bullpen. They picked the perfect time to find their offensive rhythm as they start a series against the Rockies at Coors Field today. They’ll face Alex White today, who they scored 4 earned runs against, over six innings, last time they met. Feel free to deploy any reasonably priced player on the Marlins or Rockies today as they’ll be plenty of runs to go around for both teams.

Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks to Click

Jose Reyes (SS | Marlins): Reyes has been the model of consistency over the past month. His 26 game hit streak came to an end last Thursday, but he’s already started up a new 5 game hitting streak. He’s 2 for 3 against Alex White with 2 RBIs. Get him in your lineups today unless he’s extremely overpriced on your daily fantasy sports site of choice.

Josh Hamilton (OF | Rangers): The “real” Josh Hamilton is back. He wasn’t the same after returning from the virus that hospitalized him for a short period earlier this year. He’s hit safely in 12 of his last 13 games and has 5 homeruns over the past week (including two last night). He’ll face Ivan Nova today who he’s 2 for 3 against with 1 double and 1 RBI.
