Early slate lineups will be confirmed prior to roster lock, so if you see anyone in RED, don't sweat it, I will update it. 


Early lineups were posted around 9:00 AM ET. The only thing I am a little worried about with weather is Stephen Strasburg. With late swap, it'll give us an opportunity to pivot from Strasburg and move to Greinke if necessary. Just as a disclaimer, I am personally going to be heavy on my main lineup, but will also have exposure to my pivot lineup. Pivots replace the player listed above each pivot.

UPDATE #1: DraftKings Early (12:22 PM ET)

Lots of tinkering because Michael Fulmer > Buck Farmer. This has also led to John Hicks not playing because it's a righty going instead of Derek Holland. Getting Danny Valencia in the lineup instead of Abreu for value. Love where he's hitting in the lineup today.   Similar situation with Simmons, who has a huge boost in value hitting 2nd in front of Trout. 

UPDATE #2: FanDuel Early (12:35 PM ET)

Similar situation with FanDuel, getting Tim Anderson out of sight with the rough 0-for-9 BVP against Michael Fulmer. Getting Simmons in due to the nice situation batting 2nd against Vance Worley. Drop of Strasburg to Greinke isn't too big to me because of weather and the fact that Greinke has been amazing and matches up against a struggling Brewers lineup. The pivot lineup also moves to Simmons, but downgrades Abreu to Valencia and gets Nelson Cruz in the lineup. 

UPDATE #3: DraftKings Early (12:50 PM ET)

With Knapp and Blanco surprisingly out of the Phillies lineup, I'm getting Maldonando in the lineup for value ($2100), Romine in at 2nd (leading off, with good past numbers from the leadoff spot against a weak pitcher), and Cruz (big upgrade from Tomas)

UPDATE #4: FanDuel Early (1:00 PM ET)

Knapp out of the lineup, so the main lineup has a simple pivot to Maldonado and the pivot lineup has a simple pivot to Matt Wieters. 

UPDATE #5: DraftKings Early (1:05 PM ET)

Drury out of the lineup, so Romine is in both lineups and we are upgrading Calhoun to Tomas for the pivot. 

UPDATE #6: FanDuel Early (1:12 PM ET)

Drury being out of the lineup is awful considering his value on FanDuel. We get to move to Scooter freaking Gennett, but I do get in a catcher I prefer in Yan Gomes.


Late lineups were posted around 5:50 PM ET. 

UPDATE #7: FanDuel Late (6:55 PM ET)

Taking out Suzuki (out of lineup) and Springer and inserting Yadier Molina and Danny Santana. Actually liked Santana as a value play (yes, even though he's low in the lineup) but didn't think he'd start. Molina gives us a very high floor with some upside with Coors.

UPDATE #8: DraftKings Late (6:57 PM ET)

Suzuki's out of the lineup, so I'm going to go with Ryan Hanigan. Usually would avoid this spot, but options are limited. Considered going Molina/Hill for Suzuki/Belt, but felt that Belt is too valuable at that value.
