Fuuuuck. I had no idea that the game was one of those god-awful afternoon games on a work day. These games are pretty much the worst idea ever, but that's another story for another day.

Today’s Matchup - August 13th (7:07pm) EST

Red Sox @ Blue Jays,1 of 3

Opponent: RHP Dempster (6-8, 4.67)

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 19th. (playoff info to be posted later)
