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

Straight Cash Homie w/ Patio Joe

15 GAME SLATE TONIGHT!! WHO? WHO? WHO IS HANGING WITH PATIO JOE IN THE OWL HOUSE TONIGHT FOR MLB?

WEATHER:  Light rain in some places. I don’t see a weather problem

PITCHERS: I generally pay up for the top pitcher on the slate, biggest favorite, etc.

Zack Godley– For the price and the way he has performed. He is my cash game pitcher tonight.

Max Scherzer– a $1000 more than Godley and he should be more. That should tell you something about the way Max has been pitching lately.  He will probably still be the highest owned in cash.

Kevin Gausman– 2nd pitcher option on DK.

Drew Pomeranz– 2nd pitcher option

Aaron Nola– 2nd pitcher option.

 

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

 

FIRST BASE: I generally pay up for a first base.  These days there are always high priced options in good spots.  Most offensive production comes from first base and third base.

Paul Goldschmidt – Crushes everything Wood throws.

Joey Votto– Great match-up tonight.

Ryon Healy– prefer Healy over Olson because of the price difference and Healy mashes lefties.

Anthony Rizzo – Lefties have been giving Archer trouble lately.

 

SECOND BASE: I generally pay down for a player that is batting at the top of the order that is $2600 or below.  These are the top plays. Look down for value below.

Scooter Gennett

Brandon Drury

Jed Lowrie

Jose Altuve

 

THIRD BASE: I generally pay up for a top play at third base. Along with first base. The most production comes from third base.

Josh Donaldson- Dude has been on fire lately

Anthony Rendon

Manny Machado

Nick Castellanos

 

SHORT STOP: I generally pay down at SS.  $2800 or below is my mark. Line-up dependent.  Will pay up at times.

Marcus Semien

Carlos Correa– get him before his price goes up.

Trea Turner

Paul De Jong

 

OUTFIELD- I generally will pay down at least 1 OF position $2500 or below, perhaps even two depending on the pitcher.  I try and pay up for one elite OF.

The following are all great players, salaries not listed. Order of who I like best.

  1. D. Martinez
  2. Mike Stanton
  3. J. Pollock
  4. George Springer
  5. Mike Trout
  6. Khris Davis
  7. Josh Reddick
  8. Kyle Schwarber
  9. Aaron Judge
  10. Nelson Cruz

 

PATIO’S MVP PICK OF THE DAY: Paul Goldschmidt

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-    Stephen Vogt, Chris Iannetta

1B-  Josh Bell, Miguel Cabrera, Danny Valencia

2B-  Taylor Motter

3B-   Mike Moustakas, Matt Chapman

SS –    Jody Mercer, Adam Rosales

OF- Jason Werth, Gregor Blanco, Carlos Beltran

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.

AT BAT W/AUDIE: GPP TEAM STACKS I LIKE FOR THE DAY
