DFS Amateur Hour - Friday Lineups

I have to say these are horrible lineups. Not as horrible as last night's on which I wasted $10, bringing my bankroll down to $1361.24, but bad nonetheless:

I set four $25 ones and the obligatory $10 "Happy Hour" contest, but I'd be surprised if any of these cashed. I initially liked the Mets against Matt Wisler, but there's a chance of rain in that one, and I liked the Cubs a little bit in Philadelphia, but had to scrap it because the first game of their doubleheader precluded them from getting their lineup out. I assume Kyle Schwarber will play against the righty, but it's hard to say who from the first game will sit.

The last-minute shuffle due to potential rainouts and lineups that weren't set always makes me feel like I'm guessing rather than picking stacks and players based on my instincts and research. As a result, these lineups are soulless, empty and lacking character. They're dead money, I'm almost certain.
