Sample Lineup for All Day

P – Lance McCullers

C/1B – Evan Gattis

2B – Kike Hernadez

3B – Adrian Beltre

SS – Dansby Swanson

OF – Charlie Blackmon, Brandon Guyer, Preston Tucker

Utility – Josh Donaldson

So if you decide to play the all day slate, we manage to get some exposure to the Blue Jays, Astros, Rangers, and we sprinkle din just a little bit of Braves. The bottom line here is everyone will flock to Coors Field and potentially the Yankees. Donaldson and Beltre could make or break this slate for us if we stick with this exact lineup. As much as I would love to fit Freddie Freeman in here somewhere, it would just require too much sacrifice to do it.

Sample Lineup for the Main Slate

P – Lance McCullers

C/1B – Neil Walker

2B – Kike Hernadez

3B – Josh Donaldson

SS – Corey Seager

OF – Josh Reddick, Andrew McCutchen, Mike Trout

Utility – Adrian Beltre

We do have some overlap even though we chopped off the two early games. I think Donaldson could be chalky but I’m wondering if Beltre goes under the radar in this spot. I can’t get away from McCullers but if you want to play in tournaments, Luis Castillo would certainly be on the radar. The price tag on McCullers is going to force him to be the chalkiest pitcher of the day for sure. This slate is difficult because there are so many teams I’d like to get a piece of.

Walker is actually about neutral against split fingered fastballs and he crushes four seamers so he fits in nicely against Kevin Gausman. Trout is a good play any night but has a little extra potential tonight.It might be a good night to throw a bunch of different lineups in the quarter arcade tonight to try and get the players you want.

As always, may fortune be on your side and make sure to follow me on Twitter @bucn4life as MLB allows late swap. If there’s a late scratch and/or lineup cards aren’t put in for the late games, this article will always be updated on Twitter ASAP.
