With Saturday's split slate, I will provide Optimal Lineups for the Early Only games (1:05 PM ET roster lock) and Main Slate of games (7:05 PM ET roster lock).
The first set of Early Only lineups were posted a little before 6:00 AM ET. I will try to make it back before roster lock to make sure all of our players are active. Nonetheless, you guys can always go to www.fantasyalarm.com/lineups/mlb to confirm lineups as they come in. Our system will also highlight players in green (starting) or red (not starting) as the lineups come in.
----------
Update #1 - 10:45 AM ET (FanDuel Cash--Early): Decided not to take any chances with Souza. Even though he's 90% likely to play, I don't think it's enough to justify putting him in the lineup. Taking out Castro/Souza, and putting in Vazquez/Cabrera.
Update #2A - 11:15 AM ET (FanDuel Cash--Early): With Baez out of the lineup, I am inserting Rutledge in. Vegas has the Red Sox with a high expected run total, and Rutledge gets the edge over Hech and Didi with his surprise start.
Update #2B - 11:15 AM ET (DraftKings Cash--Early): With Federowicz and Baez out of the lineup, I am also removing Napoli and inserting Austin Romine, Teixeira, and Addison Russell.
Update #2C - 11:15 AM ET (FanDuel GPP--Early): With Baez out of the lineup, I am also removing Aaron Hicks, and replacing them with Brad Miller and Michael A. Taylor.
Update #2D - 11:15 AM ET (FantasyAces Hybrid--Early): With Federowicz and Baez out of the lineup, I am also removing Napoli, and inserting Vazquez, Russell, and Marwin Gonzalez.

Update #3A - 5:25 PM ET (FanDuel Cash--Late): Ryan Braun was scratched so we're replacing him with Hunter Pence.
Update #3B - 5:27 PM ET (DraftKings Cash--Late): Ryan Braun was scratched so we're replacing him with Gerardo Parra.
Update #3C - 5:30 PM ET (DraftKings GPP--Late): Ryan Braun was scratched so we're replacing him and Josh Donaldson with Manny Machado and Jose Bautista.
Update #3D - 5:32 PM ET (FanDuel GPP--Late): Ryan Braun was scratched so we're replacing him, Mark Reynolds, and Nick Castellanos with Gerardo Parra, Kendrys Morales, and Manny Machado.

Also, the Philly weather is getting really scary. I am going to post alternate cash game lineups for each site where we are fading Aaron Nola solely because of the threat of rain.
