What’s up Wise Take? Patio Joe here to bring you your cash game article.
I am not going to boggle you down with statistic after statistic on why a play is good. I may give a sentence but that’s it. I’ll break down each position with the best cash game play. Each position will have a description of my general rule on how I select each player at that position. What is a good cash game play? Well, to me, it is the safest to hit his value, the most optimal play at each position with price being considered. Next will be a value section. These will be players that I will be playing depending on where they are hitting in the line-up. I then will give you my MVP play of the day.
Finally, even the cash game guy gets that GPP itch. So I will bring you a small section named “ At Bat W/Audie.” Here I will break down just a few of my favorite team stacks. Nothing big.
Please give me feedback on what you like and what you would like to see more of. Be sure to follow me on twitter @patiojoeref
MLB Cash Game Plays by Patio Joe
WEATHER: NOTHING RIGHT NOW
PITCHERS: I generally pay up for the top pitcher on the slate, biggest favorite, etc
Rich Hill- He Has owned the Padres this year. If you have listened to me or read anything I have this, You know I don’t like Hill but with the other options on the slate. He is the best tonight.
Luis Severino- He always bounces back after a rough start.
Garrett Richards- Righties still have success against these White Sox
Chad Kuhl- One more time this year, The smooth sounds of Chad Kuhl as a 2nd pitcher option on Dk.
Danny Salazar- Another 2nd pitcher option on DK. I wish I knew how long he is going to go.
CATCHER: I generally pay down at catcher. $2700 below is my mark. I will list the best play but please look at the value section for the catcher I like
Gary Sanchez
Sal Perez

PATIO’S MVP PICK OF THE DAY: Mike Trout
VALUE SECTION: The following players are the value plays of the day, which are players where price meets, where they are batting in the line-up. Players that can hit value easily because Their salary is so low. It is essential to have value players in your cash game line-up in order to be successful.
C- Austin Barnes, Stephen Vogt
1B- Hanley Ramirez, Josh Bell
2B- Eric Sogard, Sean Rodriguez
3B- Rio Ruiz, Yandy Diaz, Tyler Saladino
SS – Corey Seager, Kike Hernandez, Freddy Galvis
OF- Travis Taijeron, Brandon Moss, Gregory Polanco
Remember if a player who normally doesn’t bat high in the order does for some reason and his at a very low price. I will be considering him, So value may open up as the day moves on.
