Walker Buehler continues to stink. Meanwhile James Wood is batting .585 so far in July. Let’s GO!

TARGET MARKETS: H+R+R/TB (1u), HR (0.3u-0.5u)

Quick note on the Target Markets section: These are the markets I’m going to be line/promo shopping for when the markets open up. Sometimes I will avoid them if they’re too juicy or the odds are just garbage (-130 and worse). Unit recommendation is a general guideline, but could change based on value.

• Ketel Marte / Josh Naylor / Eugenio Suarez v. Michael Macha [GRADE: A-]

H/AB	AVG	wOBA	ISO	ExitVelo	HardHit%
14-31	.452	.524	.419	88.4	29.17%

All three match up well against Wacha. Marte’s Hard Hit numbers are off here, but everything else looks good. The order is probably Naylor, Suarez, then Marte, but all three worth consideration.

TARGET MARKETS: H+R+R/TB (0.7u-1u), HR (0.25u)
