Not every team can have elite players at every position. As a draft progress it’s inevitable every fantasy team is going to have holes somewhere in starting lineups. The goal of every fantasy owner at the end of drafts is to try to fill those holes with players who can provide superior value or at least provide a positive return on their draft position.

One way to do that is to find breakout candidates (Fernando Rodney for example). Another way is to draft a pair of players to act as one player who can provide great value in the aggregate. This strategy involves taking players with dramatic home-road splits who play their home games in extremely favorable hitter’s parks. According to StatCorner.com the top five hitter’s parks are: Colorado, Cincinnati, Chicago White Sox, Texas, Milwaukee and Arizona.

I propose where you draft two hitter’s from one of the six aforementioned teams and start them only when they play at home. The reason why you start them only at home is because they’re home-road splits indicate they’re greatly benefiting from playing in their home ballpark. This strategy works best in daily leagues or leagues where you can set your lineup twice a week. Below are some players that would perfect fit for this strategy:

Suppose a fantasy owner only started Murphy and Ross at home last year. What kind of player did that owner receive?

What about if someone owned Fowler and Murphy?

In both scenarios that fantasy owner would have had a top 30 outfielder. Now, what about if both players are at home? Play the “best” of the two. The problem with the strategy is there’s more risk because the fantasy owner is relying on two players to stay healthy compared to only one. This strategy is even more high risk in auction leagues fantasy owners will have to get multiple players.
