Pitcher and hitter rankings for Thursday

[wang1993]

Miguel Gonzalez (R), 13 percent, Chicago Matt Holliday Womens Jersey White Sox at Minnesota Twins: Gonzalez has, very quietly, become a fantasy asset over the past two months. Since July 1, the right-hander owns a 2.94 ERA over eight starts. If you remove a nightmare start at Fenway Mariano Rivera Womens Jersey Park on Aug. 3, his ERA over that stretch drops to 1.71. Although Gonzalez doesn't generate many swings, he sports an improved 6.4 K/9 in the second half (compared to 5.1 before the break). It's not much, but every little bit helps. On Thursday, he matches up well with the Twins, who Jon Niese Jersey have been middle of the road against righties this season and are without Miguel Sano. Eduardo Joe Dimaggio Jersey Rodriguez (L), 42 percent, Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees: On the surface, there's plenty here to give fantasy owners pause. Rodriguez owns a 5.08 second-half ERA, he's allowing more hard Greg Bird Youth Jersey contact than last season, and the Yankees are never an easy opponent. On the bright side, the 24-year-old lefty boasts a career-best 9.7 K/9 and is generating more ground balls. Plus, the matchup is actually quite favorable Gary Sanchez Jersey on paper, as the Yankees have been well below average against southpaws this year, striking out at a 23 percent clip. There's risk here, but there's ample upside too.
