2014 Fantasy Baseball: The Daily Pick Six 4/21
Sunday's feast was more than just Easter dinner as Fantasy Baseball sluggers feasted on big league hurlers in most games. Don't expect the same big numbers Monday as the starting pitching and matchups are looking a bit rough. With that said, there are a few solid matchups to count on. Here is Monday's Daily Pick Six.

6. Pablo Sandoval, San Francisco Giants
6. Pablo Sandoval, San Francisco Giants
Right now you want to use hitters against struggling Colorado Rockies SP Jorge De La Rosa. You especially want to use hitters who have historically produced good numbers versus De La Rosa. Pablo Sandoval fits the mold on both levels Monday.
11-for-34, .324 AVG, .361 OBP, .529 SLG, 4 2B, 1 HR, 4 RBI
5. Torii Hunter, Detroit Tigers
5. Torii Hunter, Detroit Tigers
Torii Hunter had good numbers going into the weekend, but he disappointed on Saturday by going without a hit. Monday I am giving Hunter one more chance as he faces Chicago White Sox hurler John Danks.
14-for-43, .326 AVG, .383 OBP, .581 SLG, 2 2B, 3 HR, 9 RBI
4. Nick Swisher, Cleveland Indians
4. Nick Swisher, Cleveland Indians
Nick Swisher was another slugger with solid historically numbers who disappointed this weekend. With that said, it is hard to ignore his past successes against Kansas City Royals SP Jeremy Guthrie.
14-for-40, .350 AVG, .426 OBP, .675 SLG, 5 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, 9 RBI
3. Buster Posey, San Fransisco Giants
3. Buster Posey, San Fransisco Giants
Again, hitters facing Rockies SP De La Rosa are good starts. Buster Posey, like Sandoval, has a solid history against the Rock's hurler. Use him Monday with confidence.
7-for-20, .350 AVG, .440 OBP, .450 SLG, 2 2B, 5 RBI
2. Neil Walker, Pittsburgh Pirates
2. Neil Walker Pittsburgh Pirates
Neil Walker has been no stranger to big Fantasy Baseball production in 2014, and on Monday he has a potential to add to his early resume. Walker faces Cincinnati Reds SP Mike Leake who has historically been generous to Waker from the mound.
10-for-31, .323 AVG, .421 OBP, .548 SLG, 4 2B, 1 HR, 11 RBI
1. Austin Jackson, Detroit Tigers
1. Austin Jackson, Detroit Tigers
Much like Swisher, Austin Jackson has strong power numbers versus Dunks. In 37 career at bats against Dunks, Jackson has gone yard three times and boasts a .676 slugging percentage.
14-for-37, .378 AVG, .439 OBP, .676 SLG, 2 2B, 3 HR, 6 RBI
