UPDATES
UPDATE #1 (FanDuel Cash-4:15 PM ET):
OUT: Jacob deGrom (P-NYM), Rob Refsnyder (1B-NYY), and Jarrett Parker (OF-SF)
IN: Julio Teheran (P-ATL), Mark Reynolds (1B-COL), and Matt Kemp (OF-SD)
Going away from deGrom because the win is looking more and more in jeopardy. Teheran gets a pretty decent boost because of the Reds weak 6-through-9 hitters tonight and the fact that he has a pretty high strikeout prop (deGrom's is 6o150 and Teheran is 5.5o160). By the way, Bumgarner's ownership is likely increasing by the minute on FanDuel, and is a relatively safe play, but running through both options, it appears I prefer dropping down at pitcher to be able to get the hitters I want. I'm not afraid to fade a chalk pitcher as long as I can justify it.
UPDATE #2 (FanDuel Cash-5:05 PM ET):
OUT: Mark Reynolds (1B-COL), Brandon Crawford (SS-SF), and Matt Kemp (OF-SF)
IN: Matt Adams (1B-STL), Tim Anderson (SS-CHW), and Carlos Gonzalez (OF-COL)
Taking Reynolds out because he's batting so low in the lineup, but I'm fine with it because I love Adams. Felt it was best to still get an additional Coors bat, and CarGo is the best option.
UPDATE #3 (DraftKings Cash-5:15 PM ET):
OUT: Mark Reynolds (1B-COL), Jefry Marte (3B-LAA), Brandon Crawford (SS-SF), Ryan Rua (OF-TEX), Jayson Werth (OF-WSH)
IN: Matt Adams (1B-STL), Nolan Arenado (3B-COL), Tim Anderson (SS-CHW), Jarrett Parker (OF-SF), Lonnie Chisenhall (OF-CLE)
Well, with Tim Anderson batting leadoff, there was no excuse not to get Nolan in the lineup. This came at the expense of a few players, but I feel Adams is a slight upgrade from Reynolds and Parker/Chisenhall have upside with good matchups.
UPDATE #4 (FantasyAces Cash-5:35 PM ET):
OUT: Witt Merrifield (2B/SS-KC), Brandon Crawford (2B/SS-SF), Jefry Marte (1B/3B-LAA), Ryan Rua (OF, TEX), Carlos Beltran (OF-NYY)
IN: Tim Anderson (2B/SS-CHW), Jason Kipnis (2B/SS-CLE), Matt Adams (1B/3B-STL), Carlos Gonzalez (OF-COL), Chase d'Arnaud (UTIL-ATL)
Move Chisenhall from UTIL to OF. Beltran was removed because he's out of the lineup. Anderson is in because he's a min price and leading off.
UPDATE #5 (FanDuel Cash-6:10 PM ET):
OUT: Julio Teheran (P-ATL), Matt Holliday (OF-STL), and Carlos Gonzalez (OF-COL)
IN: Madison Bumgarner (P-SF), Alejandro De Aza (OF-NYM), and Jeff Francoeur (OF-ATL)
Done with the Teheran pivot thanks to the weather. MadBum will be like 80 percent owned tonight so it's all up to our hitting. Could go down from Arenado, but he's my guy tonight and hopefully others will stay away.
UPDATE #6 (DraftKings Cash-7:25 PM ET):
OUT: Jarrett Parker (OF-SF)
IN: Gregor Blanco (OF-SF)
Parker was scratched in favor of Angel Pagan, so I am pivoting to Blanco. Can get in the late swap with no problem.
