What We Know

Personnel

• Starlin Marte was scratched late yesterday with the flu. Be sure to check lineups when they come out as there is a goo dposibility he will be back tonight
• Corey Seager and Yasmani Grandal were both absent from the Dodgers lineup on Thursday with flu like symptoms. No word as to their availability at this time
• Adam Jones has been experiencing back spasms and received the night off on Thursday in New York. There is nothing serious to be worried about but he could very well miss one more game
• Michael Saunders is expected to return to the Jays lineup on Friday after returning home to deal with a personal matter
• Matt Holliday is day to day after getting a fastball in the face last night. Nothing too serious and he should be back throughout the weekend
• Dexter Fowler is expected to re join the Cubs this weekend in Milwaukee. Stay tuned for lineups this afternoon
• Brett Lawrie left Thursday's game with tightness in his hamstring and is considered day to day

The "Every Lineup" Guys

*Note - Both of these guys were wrote about on the main article so for further analysis please refer to that.*
Kris Bryant FD 3900 DK 4900
Opponent - MIL (Nelson) Park - @MIL
FD - 13.32 DK - 10.23

Bryant is going to be an every lineup guy for me on FanDuel today(shows up in all 25 optimal lineups). He comes at a $800 discount from Donaldson and Arenado and comes with big upside in a matchup at Miller Park. He and the Cubs get a great matchup against Jimmy Nelson who has been average at best this season and is due for some regression. His ERA is respectable at 3.39 but the xFIP of 4.82 and the awful walk rate (3.95 BB/9) suggest the regression could come very soon.

Bryce Harper FD 4200 DK 5100
Opponent - SD (Perdomo) Park - @WSH
FD - 16.61 DK - 12.81

Another guy who I wrote about in the main article that, 12 hours later, still shows up big time on both optimizers. He is in a great spot vs. Luis Perdomo and his 20% HR/FB rate and shows up in all 25 optimal lineups for both sites. If you are not completely stacking the Nats tonight make sure to get exposure to Harper at least and "Make Baseball Fun Again"!
