Championships are won by making the right little decisions through the season and micromanaging your lineup well can be the difference maker. Each week, I’ll be taking a look at five hitting matchups you should take advantage of this week, and five hitting matchups you should avoid this week. Here are the batters you should start and avoid for Week 14 (7/3 – 7/9) of the fantasy baseball season.

Notes: All pitching matchups mentioned here are based off of projections as of this writing. It is entirely possible that the actual matchups could change either because of injury, weather, or anything else. Keep in mind, this article is geared toward middle-of-the-road players, meaning you should be starting top of the line bats regardless of the matchup. Always start your studs.

Milwaukee Brewers hitters against the Baltimore Orioles - It's not a terrible week to start all of your Brewers hitters, as they get what should be an easy three-game series at home against the horrible Orioles starting rotation, then a game against Mike Montgomery in Chicago against the Cubs. However then they get a three-game series in New York against the Yankees where they'll see Jordan Montgomery, who's been pretty good, Luis Severino who basically looks like an ace now, and Masahiro Tanaka, who we honestly have no idea how he'll perform. But, while the Orioles are in town, you should start your Brewers, as they'll be facing Wade MileyUbaldo Jimenez, and Chris Tillman. If the Orioles have any bright spots in their rotation, those three aren't it, and being that they'll be in hitter-friendly Miller Park, load them up.

    I do agree with all of the ideas you’ve presented in your post. They’re really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too short for beginners. Could you please extend them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.
