How willing are you guys to play the pitching matchups on a daily basis? Mookie Betts has 2B eligibility in my league so I've got a ton of flexibility.
So today I'm thinking of playing:
-JJ Bleday, lefty batting cleanup vs. RHP Clay Holmes in Yankee Stadium (good for power hitting lefties)
-Alex Kiriloff, lefty batting cleanup against RHP Smyly at home
Instead of:
-Marcus Semien, righty batting leadoff vs. RHP George Kirby
-Hunter Renfroe, righty (not sure of lineup position yet) vs. LHP Framber Valdez (he's a lefty but his splits don't seem to matter much)
What do you guys think of making lineup decisions like this? Semien and Renfroe are bon a fide fantasy players, Semien especially, but they both have tough pitching matchups. Bleday and Kiriloff are upside guys but they have far better matchups. Curious to what people think.
