Daily Dime: Optical Sunday lineups for Yahoo daily baseball
As always when playing Yahoo Daily Fantasy Baseball, be sure to check the final lineups and the weather.
Dalton Del Don’s lineup:
SP Jon Lester, at Atl, $55
SP Julio Urias, at SF, $32
C Nick Hundley, vs. SD (Friedrich), $13
1B Paul Goldschmidt, vs. Mia (Conley), $22
2B Rob Refsnyder, vs. Det (Fulmer), $12
3B Justin Turner, at SF (Peavy), $11
SS Alexei Ramirez, at Col (Anderson), $14
OF Matt Kemp, at Col (Anderson), $18
OF Andrew McCutchen, vs. STL (Leake), $15
OF Michael Taylor, vs. Phi (Morgan), $8
Lester was too good to pass up against Atlanta, even on the road…Urias hasn’t been great during his brief MLB stint, but the stuff has been there, and AT&T Park facing a lefty-heavy Giants offense looks like a good matchup, especially at just $32.
Scott Pianowski’s lineup:
P Rick Porcello, at Min, $39
P Joe Ross, vs. PHI, $40
C J.T. Realmuto, at ARI (Ray), $11
1B Edwin Encarnacion, vs. BAL (Jimenez), $18
2B Logan Forsythe, vs. HOU (Keuchel), $13
3B Matt Duffy, vs. LAD (Urias), $10
SS Xander Bogaerts, at MIN (Dean), $21
OF Melvin Upton, at COL (Anderson), $17
OF Jon Jay, at COL (Anderson), $17
OF Ryan Raburn, vs. SD (Friedrich), $14
Went with solid-not-elite pitchers, with the savings allowing me to buy a couple of sizzling brand names (Encarnacion, Bogaerts). And an afternoon game at Coors begs for a few plays, of course. My three cheapest bats all enjoy the platoon advantage.
