Welcome to the Playbook for Tuesday, May 23rd
We have a full slate of MLB evening action on this Tuesday! Plenty of solid arms to invest in or fade and tons of bats to choose from. We’re going to go heavy on the Diamondbacks (again), Indians (again) and Astros in today’s Playbook and you can expect to see us lean heavily on those teams in the Optimal Lineups that will be posted later on as well. Let’s get after it!

Weather
Rain is expected in D.C. tonight and with the Nationals history, this game is in grave danger. Just keep that in mind. We have a couple M's here profiled in case that threat dissipates. There are lesser risks in Baltimore, Atlanta and Chicago tonight but not enough for us to fade or avoid any players in those games (yet). Stay tuned to the oft-updated FA Weather Center to stay on top of the weather.
