Today’s Matchup - July 28th (1:07pm) EST

Astros @ Blue Jays, 4 of 4

Opponent: RHP Cosart (1-0, 0.60)

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)

[dmrich28]

why do you keep lowering the bench value?? It was 20 a couple days ago then 15 now 10?

[flafson]

It used to be that you pick 1 player from the bench (many points) and now it's all of the bench together (less points)

 

 

I'm going with Izturis!

July 28...Edwin

I lower it depending on who is on the bench. With Lind, DeRosa and JP on the bench they are more likely to hit a home run than when its boni, thole, izturis and davis.

[Dylan]

I'll go with eddy too
