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
5 game late slate on DK! I love you all at Wise Take so I thought I would do another quick write up. Be sure to check the lineups as this is written a little earlier than normal. Don’t forget about the livestream tonight featuring. CK, Paulie D & Patio Joe!! Youtube channel 8:30 PST 11:30 EST.
WEATHER: NONE
PITCHERS: I generally pay up for the top pitcher on the slate, biggest favorite, etc.
James Paxton
Gerritt Cole
Just pay up for these two and make it work elsewhere with value bats.
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.
Buster Posey
Jason Castro
Austin Barnes
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.
Mark Reynolds
Yonder Alonso
Wilmer Flores
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.
Daniel Murphy
Chris Taylor
Robinson Cano
Jed Lowrie
THIRD BASE: I generally pay up for a top play at third base. Along with first base. The most production comes from third base.
Miguel Sano
Justin Turner
Nolan Arenado.
SHORT STOP: I generally pay down at SS. $2800 or below is my mark. Line-up dependent. Will pay up at times.
Corey Seager
Marcus Semien
Trevor Story
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.
- Charlie Blackmon
- Gerardo Parra
- Khris Davis
- Bryce Harper
- Kike Hernandez
- Ben Gamel
PATIO’S MVP PICK OF THE DAY: Khris Davis
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- Hector Sanchez, Bruce Maxwell
1B- Alonso/ Healy
2B- Logan Forsythe
3B- Matt Chapman, Healy
SS – NONE
OF- Matt Joyce, Jabari Blash.
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.
