Derek Dietrich, Jesse Winker Return to Lineup Wednesday
5 years agoCincinnati Reds second baseman Derek Dietrich and outfielder Jesse Winker are batting fourth and fifth, respectively, on Wednesday against right-handed St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Dakota Hudson. Dietrich and Winker play every day against right-handed starters, but are usually off against lefties, so owners in weekly leagues should be looking carefully at Cincinnati's schedule each week to ensure they aren't facing too many left-handed pitchers. For DFS purposes against Hudson, who is running a 4.48 xFIP this season with a 4.57 for his career, both Dietrich and Winker are solid plays with the platoon advantage.
