Pick a player on the Jay's starting lineup that you think will hit a home run at ANY TIME during each game.
You can only pick the same player 4 times during each week (Monday-Sunday)
If you pick a correct player you will earn the corresponding points.
Players less likely to hit a home run will be worth more points than those more likely to knock one out.
Point values will change daily depending on hot and cold streaks, and will be posted before each game.
You can only pick one player and you must have your pick in before the first Blue Jays at bat.
*Weekend games will be "bonus days" (pick two players, pick players from other team etc.) Schedule in 2nd thread post
You may post your pick before the daily lineups are posted if you will not be online before the game starts.
If you are going away, you can PM Dylan your picks for the upcoming games (Max 5 games)
*The season will be divided into two sets at June 9th, 2014, playoff information is posted below.
If you have any questions post them here or PM me.
