Description: A's left fielder Seth Smith owns Anibal Sanchez. In 13 previous at bats, Smith has collected six hits against the Tigers righthander. | Insight: Two of the six hits have gone for home runs. If Smith had enough at bats to qualify, he'd lead the majors in batting average (.500 in 26 at bats). | | |

| 9/23/2012 10:15:00 AM |

Description: A's left fielder Seth Smith should be a strong fantasy play Thursday against the Tigers. He's a .455 lifetime hitter against Detroit starter Anibal Sanchez. | Insight: Smith (.244, 13 HR, 46 RBI) has been a platoon player for Oakland most of the season but we're betting manager Bob Melvin will have him in the lineup Thursday with Sanchez pitching. | | |

Description: Oakland outfielder Seth Smith is expected to miss Friday's game against Toronto with a strained left hamstring. | Insight: Smith put up some fantasy worthy numbers early on, but his .193 batting average since the break should have him firmly planted on your bench. | | |
| 7/13/2012 7:29:00 PM |
Description: Oakland outfielder Seth Smith will be on the sidelines when the A's begin the second half Friday night against the Twins. | Insight: Smith's numbers for the first half were pretty pedestrian (.249, 8 HRs, 27 RBIs).

| 6/22/2012 10:40:00 AM |

Smith is a lifetime .300 hitter against Lincecum with three homers, but also has been struk out 10 times in 30 at-bats. | Insight: Smith has seen limited action over the past month, but when called upon he has delivered to the tune of a .362 batting average with a 1.119 OPS. If he's in the lineup on Friday he's worth a start. | | |
| 6/15/2012 3:20:00 PM |

Of Smith's eight hits against Lincecum, three have left the ballpark. | Insight: Smith has been an on-base machine (.370 OBP) despite his .240 batting average.

| 4/12/2011 6:10:00 AM |
Description: Rockies OF Seth Smith went 3-4, finishing a homer short of the cycle, and added a stolen base in yesterday's win over the Mets. | Insight: Smith is off to a solid start and should be used in NL-only formats where you can make daily transactions. He is still just a platoon player, however, so his value in mixed leagues is minimal. | | |
