Welcome to the Playbook for Wednesday, April 12th.
Welcome back everyone. We hope you enjoyed the Daniel Murphy show last night as much as we did. Here’s to keeping a good thing going tonight! There are 15 games scheduled today, with 10 of them making up our main slate. With quite a few electric arms scheduled to toe the rubber today, we should be in for a great day of baseball. We’re going the extra mile for you today and we’re going to issue optimal lineups for both the all day slates and the main slates. Here’s to a great day/night doubleheader! Let’s get two!
Don’t forget to check out the Hitting and Pitching coaches and the lineup generator to build your best chance to cash in today.
Value Plays
There are a few players that I didn’t do a full write-up on, but like for value plays and may make it into my Optimal Lineups. They include:
C - Austin Romine (NYY)
1B - C.J. Cron (LAA)
1B - Josh Bell (PIT)
2B - Jonathan Schoop (BAL)
2B - Devon Travis (TOR) - FD value
2B - Jace Peterson (ATL)
SS - Asdrubal Cabrera (NYM) - Cash value
3B - Adonis Garcia (ATL) - FD/Y! Value
3B - Trevor Plouffe (MIN) - FD/Y! Value
3B - Travis Shaw (MIL) - DK Value
OF - Jarrod Dyson (KC)
OF - Ender Inciarte (ATL) - Y! Value
Injuries
You may want to stay away from the following players due to lingering injuries:
1B - Matt Carpenter (STL) - back
2B - Trea Turner (WSH) - hamstring
2B - Stephen Drew (WSH) - leg
3B - Josh Donaldson (TOR) - calf
OF - Jackie Bradley (BOS) - knee (DL)
OF - Matt Kemp (ATL) - hamstring
Weather Report
Weather looks good for the most part. They are calling for afternoon showers in the northeast, so there may be some delay to the Yankees/Rays matinee. It should be cleared up before the first pitch of the Red Sox/Orioles in Boston, so it doesn’t sound like there is much risk to getting these games in. We’ll keep an eye out throughout the day, just in case. The biggest threat of a cancellation is in San Francisco late tonight. That will definitely be something to monitor, as it will probably be too late for any real pivots at that point.
