Why am I setting lineups virtually every day? Because I keep making picks on the SXM show, and I have to play them in case they're the big score. Also Kevin Payne emailed me about the "Happy Hour" overlay, something I couldn't skip in good conscience. Updating the budget, I played one $5 Rally yesterday and cashed for $30, thanks to Joe Kelly and a Cubs-Tigers stack. (You'd think when you stack both teams in a 15-8 game and have a $6200 pitcher score 13 points you'd win more than that, but in these big tournaments you have to be almost perfect.) As a result, my bankroll jumped $25 to $1,650.11.
I set five lineups tonight, four $5 Rally and the $10 Happy Hour one:

I used Colin McHugh in all five lineups because I like the matchup at home against the Rays. Other players in whom I have multiple shares are: Anthony Rendon (4), Addison Russell (3), J.D. Martinez (3), Nick Castellanos (2), Victor Martinez (2), Jayson Werth (2), Rajai Davis (2) and Yasmani Tomas (2).
