[Yahoo Daily Fantasy Football: Enter our $1 Million Week 3 contest]
Daniel Murphy, 2B, at Cin (DeSclafani), $16: Murphy has been a multi-hit machine in recent days, plus he's enjoyed his limited experience facing DeSclafani (2-for-3, HR). Eleven of the 15 homers allowed by DeSclafani this season have been hit by left-handed batters.
Aaron Hicks, OF, at Det (Boyd), $10: Hicks has been a monster against southpaws this year, slashing .315/.382/.522 with six homers in 92 at-bats. Boyd isn't exactly a lights-out lefty (1.60 WHIP, 14 HR in 48.2 IP). At $10, I'm in.
San Diego LHBs, various positions, vs. Ari (De La Rosa): Let's hope Yangervis Solarte (hamstring) is available for this one, because he's been excellent lately (.354/.398/.549 this month) and he's enjoyed facing Rubby (4-for-10, two doubles). We basically mention it every week, but it's worth mentioning, again, that LHBs have crushed Rubby: .947 OPS, 20 HR in 353 at-bats.
Carlos Gonzalez, OF, vs. LAD (Bolsinger), : Sure, I'll take a 37-homer bat for , playing in a park where he's hitting .285/.343/.592. LHBs are reaching base at a .361 clip against Bolsinger.

Shin-Soo Choo, OF, at Hou (Kazmir), $19: Choo has a tremendous history against Kazmir (7-for-24, HR, 5 BBs), and, as you may have noticed, he's been ludicrously hot at the plate. He's 31-for-74 in September with 18 walks, seven extra-base hits and 17 runs-scored. I'm happy to buy him at less than $20.
Houston LHBs, various positions, vs. Tex (Gallardo): Left-handed hitters have slashed a respectable .274/.340/.424 against Gallardo, and a few Astros have hit him particularly well. Jason Castro hasn't had much trouble with him (7-for-20, HR, 3 BB), nor have Colby Rasmus (7-for-22, 2 HR, 7 BB) or Luis Valbuena (9-for-28). Pick a favorite and enjoy.
Carlos Martinez, P, vs. Mil (Pena), $50: This pitching matchup tilts overwhelmingly in the Cards' favor, and Martinez has delivered back-to-back excellent starts (14.2 IP, 8 H, 15 Ks). He's pricey, sure, but not the most expensive arm in the pool.
