It is inevitable that on a big, early-game slate on get-away day that there are going to be a lot of players who will be rested today. This is why I have posted the Daily Fantasy Baseball Rankings for today’s early slate already for your viewing pleasure. I HIGHLY recommend you check those rankings out in order to fill in any gaps that this Playbook leaves once lineups are announced. I will do my best to keep track of who is in and out of lineups and thus will be updating the Playbook at FantasyAlarm.com throughout the morning. Still, you MUST keep tabs on these yourself by visiting our MLB Lineups page.
Today it is really all about Max Scherzer on the hill with a few solid bats including Freddie Freeman, Kris Bryant and Justin Upton backing him up. If you can base a lineup around those guys today, then you are well on your way to winning your cash games. Of course, these split slates are where I personally go for broke in more tournaments since the options are limited.
Here is the DFS MLB Playbook for Thursday’s early games:
