Daily Dime: Loading up on the Mariners at Chicago (weather permitting)

If you're doing the daily jig under the lights Saturday, we wish you luck. Here are some plays to keep in mind, focusing on the Yahoo $200 DFS budget. Be sure to double check on the weather and lineups.

Hisashi Iwakuma, SP, at CHW (Samardzija), $50: Japanese Ice, for the win. It's time to stop fearing the Chicago offense and park. The White Sox are 27th in scoring and dead last in home scoring. And the Mariners should get their share of runs against the Shark Sandwich. The only concern here is the possible weather, so make sure you double-check the forecast, please.

Corey Kluber, SP, vs. LAA (Richards), $50: He's been unlucky at year, but I don't mind dropping a Grant in exchange for the 2.78 ERA and 1.042 WHIP at home (and better than a strikeout per inning). The Angels offense isn't very scary these days, especially with Mike Trout battling through a nagging wrist injury (over the last month, he's in a .216 funk with two homers, nine RBIs, zero steals).

Caleb Joseph, C, at TEX (Perez), $14: Texas is a fun place to take some hacks, and Joseph enjoys the platoon advantage against scuffling Martin Perez. Joseph doesn't have a pretty average, but he is slugging .456 against southpaws.

Freddie Freeman, 1B, vs. NYY (Severino), $16: He's finally back in form over the last two days, collecting three hits, including a homer, and two walks. The price is still reasonable, and he'll get looks at a right-handed pitcher. Fab Five Freddie is always welcome on my teams.

Scooter Gennett, 2B, vs. CIN (Sampson), $10: It's a punt play, though we get someone at home, in the platoon edge, and facing an ERA over five. Good spot to save some bucks.

Kyle Seager, 3B, and Ketel Marte, SS, at CHW (Samardzija), $15 and $10: You've been here all season, you know all about Shark Sandwich and that 4.75 ERA. Marte has a solid .290 average and .362 OBP since joining the Mariners, and Seattle is 10th in the majors in scoring for the second half.

Aaron Altherr, OF, vs. SD (Rea), $8: For a mere eight Pocorobas, we get a chance at some power upside. Altherr has two homers in his brief time in Philly, along with a .704 slugging percentage. The ball has been flying out of CBP of late.

Scott Van Slyke, OF, vs. CHC (Lester), $13: He has 16 career homers in 262 at-bats against southpaws, good for a .508 slugging percentage. The Dodgers usually slot him in the middle of the order, probably the No. 5 position for Saturday.

Seth Smith, OF, at CHW (Samardzija), $14: The danger of a platoon guy is the possibility that a left-handed reliever will delete the player in the latter stages of the game. But I expect the Mariners to do plenty of scoring early, with Smith (.798 OPS against righties) a part of the fun. Get on the ship and stack away.
