Usually I don't play Mondays, but FanDuel is doing a promotion with Sirius XM, so I got in on that (not sure whether that's a free roll or not), and while I was at it, I set two more lineups, one a $5 MLB Rally and another a $5 MLB Late Game Rally. The angle I have is Chris Sale going against the Astros, and I used him in all three lineups. While the Astros hit home runs and have nine guys hitting from the right side today, Sale could strike out 13 or more of them. Here are my lineups:
Pos | SXM | $ | $5 Rally | $ | $5 Late Rally | $ |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
P | Sale | 10,900 | Sale | 10,900 | Sale | 10,900 |
C | Molina | 3000 | Perez | 2400 | Molina | 3000 |
1B | Vargas | 2500 | Morales | 2700 | Abreu | 3500 |
2B | Wong | 3600 | Infante | 2200 | Wong | 3600 |
3B | Ramirez | 2200 | Donaldson | 4800 | Beckham | 2200 |
SS | Peralta | 4000 | Escobar | 2300 | Escobar | 2300 |
OF | Kemp | 2700 | Bautista | 4900 | Grichuk | 2900 |
OF | Holliday | 3400 | Cabrera | 2200 | Holliday | 3400 |
OF | Yelich | 2600 | Garcia | 2600 | Garcia | 2600 |
Total | 34900 | Total | 35000 | Total | 34400 |
I stacked Cardinals (at Coors) in two of them, though I used Peralta in the first and Grichuk in the third. I also used quite a few White Sox against Lance McCullers, who I have in AL Tout. I hope he does well, but if he isn't sharp, I could see the White Sox taking him deep a few times at home. I also used both Blue Jays sluggers in one lineup, but had to go ugly with cheap Royals and White Sox as a result.
Update: it looks like there's a decent chance of rain in Chicago, but it's too late for me to do anything about it except in the late tournament. But that could work in my favor if fewer people are on Sale as a result.
