Championships are won by making the right little decisions through the season and micromanaging your lineup well can be the difference maker. Each week, I’ll be taking a look at five hitting matchups you should take advantage of this week, and five hitting matchups you should avoid this week. Here are the batters you should start and avoid for Week 4 (4/24 – 4/30) of the fantasy baseball season.
Note: This article is geared toward middle-of-the-road players, meaning you should be starting top of the line bats regardless of the matchup. Always start your studs.
START
Arizona Diamondbacks hitters - Start just about every Arizona Diamondback you have, because they get seven games at home this week, and they'll likely be having the dome open the whole time. Chase Field is the second-best hitters park in baseball, and the Diamondbacks face a bunch of pitchers that don't scare you at all, with four games against San Diego and three games against Colorado. You'll be starting your studs anyways, but even people like Chris Owings, Yasmany Tomas, and Brandon Drury are worth a look.
