Chris Sale was a complete disaster but hopefully you had the right mix of hitters to at least win some double-up since Sale was heavily owned. We are back to a full slate of games for Friday minus the Cubs afternoon game. Jose Altuve is the headliner as he gets another chance to destroy a left handed pitcher. Altuve has at least 2 hits in each of his 7 games. I will update the DFS MLB playbook as we get more line-up information tomorrow afternoon. As of this moment on two pitcher sites I am leaning using Koehler and Kazmir as my pitchers as they open so many hitting options. I will post optimal line-ups for the Playbook Pro subscribers later today. Shortstop is a wasteland beyond Troy Tulowitzki. On DK, Hanley Ramirez still can be used at SS so if you have the money that is the best option. One of the keys to a good lineup at Fantasy Aces is finding the super cheap bat like Andrew Susac who is hopefully in the line-up tonight.
