Today’s Matchup - July 27th (1:07pm) EST

Astros @ Blue Jays, 3 of 4

Opponent: LHP Kuechel (4-5, 4.42)

How to play:

Pick a player on the Jay's starting lineup that you think will hit the first bomb during today's game. If you pick the correct player you will earn the corresponding points. Players more unlikely to hit a home run will earn you more points than those likely to knock one out. Below is a list of the points each player is worth today. Points will change daily depending on whether the player is on a hot or cold streak, and bonus points will be available on random days. You can only pick one player, and you can't change once you picked. You must have your pick in before the first pitch of the game. Daily lineups will be posted roughly 2 hours before the game. I will post updated standings and the top 18 members will make the playoffs beginning August 26th. (playoff info to be posted later)

[P2F]

[Dylan]

f***. I truly almost took MDR.

 

Same but with a 2 game win streak I went with the safer bet

[P2F]

Yup, makes sense.

 

I was thinking MDR all the way until I started to think about how upset JB looked with himself yesterday, and thought he might homer in his first AB.

[o2cui2i]

Edwing for sunday's game

[Angrioter]

Edwin

[jaysblue]

I'll go with EE today - he's been on fire against the Astros.
