Today’s Matchup - August 2nd (10:05pm) EST

Blue Jays @ Angels, 2 of 4

Opponent: RHP Hanson (4-2, 5.15)

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)

[Dylan]

Congrats to vdubmvp, JFaS, Pinkfloid, theblujay for picking Reyes! +3 points

[Abomination]

Out of curiosity, does the message that a user edited a post only show up if someone had replied to the post? Not directing this at theblujay, but if there's ever this kind of controversy it would be good to make sure someone didn't edit their pick after the fact.

I'm not sure, I always thought it was after 30min of the original post is when the message shows up if you edit.
