Welcome to the daily MLB updates and news article. We'll try and update it right up to line-up locks with as much information as comes across our desks. Let's get to it!
Last night's picks can be found here, so you can wrap your mind around what you need to be looking at before lineups lock today.
By the way - we keep our projection system updated with all of the batting lineup changes as they occur throughout the day right up until lineup lock. Every day. If you want access to that system so you can cut out a lot of the research element, click the button below!

Opponent - LAD (Hill) Park - @SF
FD - 40.76 DK - 27.18
It's pretty clear where the optimizer and projections are pointing us today. MadBum shows up in all 25 optimized lineups on both sites and is tonight's #1 pitcher and it's not really close. The Giants are in a do or die situation and will turn to their elite ace to come up with a monster game. He has an elite K rate and faces a team that has already wrapped up their division and has nothing else to gain. Fade at your own risk!!
Opponent - MIL (Suter) Park - @COL
FD - 16.71 DK - 12.66
The #1 high upside pitcher/hitter combination tonight is MadBum + Nolan Arenado. Like Bumgarner, Arenado shows up in all 25 lineups on both sites and get a great matchup at home in Coors. He has been an elite hitter all year and even better at home(obviously) with a .423 wOBA, 132 wRC+ and .336 Isolated Power. He will also be facing a young pitcher making his second career start.
These are players that show up in each of the top 10 lineups as produced by our lineup optimizer. This doesn't necessarily mean that they're "safe," it just means that their projected weighted-mean point total is a solid building block for a great lineup foundation today.
Good luck out there today! If you want access to all of our numbers, get started with a free trial below of our lineup optimizer, on us!
