Need Help This Week
You Might Consider

CATCHER
Sleeper: Ramon Hernandez, Orioles. Ol' Razor Ramon has five multi-hit games this month and is sporting his best batting average of any of the three months thus far. All seven of Baltimore's games come at home (four vs. KC, three vs. TEX), where the Orioles have played so well. Give him a shot.

FIRST BASE/DH
Sleeper: Mike Jacobs, Marlins. He's basically Adam Dunn with fewer strikeouts and walks, and his schedule is awfully favorable for more home runs this week. Three home agames against Washington and four road games in Colorado. Those staffs rank 27th and 28th in ERA, respectively.

SECOND BASE
Sleeper: Rickie Weeks, Brewers. He's teasing us again, with three multihit games since his return from the DL last week, and very encouraging is the fact that Milwaukee faces five lefthanders this week. Weeks is hitting .262 against them -- 55 points better than his mark against righties.

THIRD BASE
Sleeper: Bill Hall, Brewers. Like teammate Weeks, Hall is much better against lefties. Five lefties on the schedule = great times.

SHORTSTOP
Sleeper: Jeff Keppinger, Reds. It's been an inauspicious return from the DL for Keppinger thus far, but he was perhaps the Reds' best hitter at the time of his injury on May 13. Add him in deeper leagues in which he was dropped.

OUTFIELD
Sleeper: Ben Francisco, Indians.. He's more than held his own primarily batting in the No. 3 hole for Cleveland, and three games apiece await at homer-friendly U.S. Cellular Field and the Metrodome. The Indians have a plenty of offensive energy pent up because they haven't done much in the past 10 days.

FAVORABLE SCHEDULES

Orioles hitters: Four against KC and three against Texas? Hooray responsibility!
Marlins hitters: It cannot get any better than series against the Nationals and in Colorado against the Rockies.
Mets hitters: The Mets' bats have awakened again, which makes series against the Cardinals' overachieving staff and the two of the Phillies' soft-tossers (Jamie Moyer, Kyle Kendrick) look really good.

UNFAVORABLE SCHEDULES

Red Sox pitchers: Three games against the Rays in Tampa (who are 30-13 at home) and four games against the rival Yankees at Yankee Stadium will make it tough on everyone not named Josh Beckett.
Mariners hitters: Seattle is at home all week, but Roy Halladay, Dustin McGowan and Justin Verlander are among those who will be tough to handle.
Cubs pitchers: Seven road games await, and we all know how poorly the Cubs play away from Wrigley Field. Amazing how shaky the Cubs' rotation looks when Carlos Zambrano is taken out of the equation.
