I must address something right off the top today. I ONLY included Mark Buehrle in the Playbook today because I have a very strong feeling that the Blue Jays will easily dispense of the Red Sox tonight. Reasons for this include the obvious in that the Blue Jays are just a better team right now but also because the entire news feed today has been full of Red Sox fire sale rumors. With strong club house players like John Lackey and Jon Lester departing, it creates a lul in the clubhouse that leads to poor performances. So I am very "pro-Blue Jays" tonight.
Another reason for including Buehlre is that the Playbook formula has spit out a lot of high priced bats tonight. I will be wading through the value play waters all the way up until roster lock tonight and adding them to the Playbook if and when another quality play is announced.
I absolutely love Max Scherzer and Zack Greinke tonight and am going to use them both in my DraftKings cash games. This means I'll also have to go with the likes of Ryan Goins, Dustin Ackley and (gulp!) Derek Jeter this evening. If you stray for the top dogs you may be able to fit Miguel Cabrera and/or Yasiel Puig in your lineups but that is a really difficult decision that falls upon each of you and your own comfort level. I cannot tell you what kind of player you are, I can only tell you what players represent the absolute best plays based on the hundreds of facts I pour through everyday.
