We’ve got 13 games to work with today and no weather troubles in store. Unfortunately, there aren’t any aces going besides Patrick Corbin who is pitching in Coors Field. To make matters more difficult, the value hitters are far and few between with no elite options. I’ve got a game plan to confidently attack the slate, however.

I typically write these articles every Tuesday and Wednesday, focusing on winning double-ups and 50/50s but tomorrow, I’ll be on my way to Nashville for the NFL draft so we will have another writer filling in.

I am plenty happy with my cash game lineup today but love the slate for GPP even more because of the top two GPP pitching options that will be vastly under-owned.  I’ll list my favorite stacks and starting pitchers, as always, for those of you hoping to take down the big GPP prize.

I tell myself the same thing every day when I build a lineup. This is your weekly reminder as well: “Don’t be an idiot”

It is simple, but entirely necessary. This is your hard earned cash, and you don’t have to throw it away. Think out your player selection and make the single smartest lineup you can put together. That includes watching as starting lineups roll in before lock. If a player you loved is batting 7th instead of 2nd like you were anticipating, maybe rethink things. If the opposite is true and there is a player you expected to bat near the end of the order but turns up in the heart of the order, then don’t hesitate to get him plugged in if you are fond of his matchup. Most importantly, don’t get cute. Just play to win, period.
