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
11 GAME SLATE FOR HUMP DAY!!
WEATHER: NOTHING AS OF RIGHT NOW.
PITCHERS: I generally pay up for the top pitcher on the slate, biggest favorite, etc.
Chris Sale– Just pay up for the safest pitcher on the board tonight in cash. The herd will go there and so should you.
Robbie Ray-He has been very good lately and can strike out over 10 More of a GPP play tonight.
Dinelson Lamet– A wise take favorite, he is a good 2nd pitcher option tonight on DK.
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
Wilson Contreras
Sal Perez
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.
Cody Bellinger
Matt Carpenter
Justin Smoak
Joey Votto
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.
Jose Altuve
Robinson Cano

Whit Merrifield
THIRD BASE: I generally pay up for a top play at third base. Along with first base. The most production comes from third base.
Kris Bryant
Josh Donaldson
Justin Turner
SHORT STOP: I generally pay down at SS. $2800 or below is my mark. Line-up dependent. Will pay up at times.
Carlos Correa

PATIO’S MVP PICK OF THE DAY: George Springer
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, Grandal, Wilson Ramos
1B- Josh Bell, Sam Travis, Jesus Aguilar
2B- Brad Miller
3B- Mike Moustakas, Adonis Garca
SS – Jody Mercer, Corey Seager
OF- Ezekiel Carrera, Chris Young, Stephen Piscotty
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.
