Today’s Matchup - August 1st (10:05pm) EST

Blue Jays @ Angels, 1 of 4

Opponent: RHP Richards (2-4, 4.33)

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)

EdWing again tonight. he's due a bomb!! (friday)

[Deadpool]

Hrm... Thole has the most ABs against Hanson, also has a homer and a 1.060 OPS (26 ABs). (Bautista and Boni also have homers off him...)

 

If Thole plays I'm going for him for MAXIMUM POINTS! If Thole isn't the starter, I'll go Bautista (1/2 with a homer and a walk...)

 

Don't know if I'll be back between line-up announcements and first pitch, so I'll get this in early (If I do get back, I'll pick one or the other officially if hedging my bets isn't cricket...)
