James Paxton has pitched at an ace-level at times this year, but a tough matchup against Boston makes him better suited for GPPs. Conversely, Gerrit Cole has had his struggles this season, but a favorable matchup against the Giants has him on the radar in both cash and GPPs. If you’re dipping down into the bargain bin, Hyun-jin Ryu (foot), fresh off the DL, has to be a consideration given his matchup....

With a $1,000,000 first place prize on the line, the Week 1’s Sunday Million GPP is the obvious winning lineup to dissect.

Earnhardt fulfilled his promise before the Daytona 500 that he would join Twitter if he won the race. Earnhardt won Sunday night. After the race, he was reminded of the promise. “I got to get my password,” he said. A little after 2 a.m. Monday, from his already-established @DaleJr account, he tweeted a photo of himself and the Daytona 500 trophy. “I’ve been around on social media before and have smaller platforms that me and my friends fool with, but I just felt like I was going to join Twitter sooner or later and just didn’t know when,” Earnhardt said Monday morning....
He finished that well thanks to attrition and good late-race adjustments.

Today’s two afternoon games (Mariners-Orioles, Cubs-Brewers) are not included in the Playbook, as we don’t recommend playing all-day or two-game slates. Sometimes we have trouble finding high-quality pitchers, but it’s finding hitters that’s tough today. There’s definitely some good pitching, but the one issue is that a few of them are matched up against each other (Max Scherzer vs. Matt Harvey; James Shields vs. Jeff Samardzija). Chris Sale makes an interesting matchup against Houston, who tend to hit lefthanded pitchers well but also bring a big strikeout upside....

Earnhardt, who led 32 laps, was running third on a restart with 18 laps to go but chose the wrong line and got stuck in the middle, dropping all the way to 15th.
