Matt Meiselman:

The whole Pirates outfield is way underpriced. I guess if I had to pick one guy, I’ll go with Ben Gamel at $3K.

The Pirates have a few expensive hitters tonight in Oneil Cruz, Ke’Bryan Hayes and Kevin Newman — (they) actually are all above $4,000. But then the rest of the lineup is like $3K and below, and Adrian Sampson is not a great pitcher. Wrigley, I think, should be a decent place to hit tonight. I guess it could be a variable, but it looks like it should be a decent night for hitting. And the Pirates outfield is just so cheap.

So, I like Gamel, but then you’ve got Greg Allen and Cal Mitchell, who aren’t good hitters, but you can steal some bases against Sampson. Those guys are (around) the minimum. I think any of those choices are good — maybe just play a Pirates stack and use all of them. This team, really across the board, is just really underpriced.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Pirates OF Greg Allen is not in the lineup Monday vs. the Cubs.

Matt’s Picks: Ben Gamel ($3,000), Greg Allen ($2,100), Cal Mitchell ($2,000)
