Here are theScore's sample Squad Up lineups for the three-game slate beginning at 9:05 p.m. ET on Friday, April 28:
Using park factors
POS | NAME | OPP | FPPG | SALARY |
---|---|---|---|---|
P | Jeff Samardzija (SF) | vs. SD | 7.2 | 75K |
C | Yasmani Grandal (LAD) | vs. PHI | 7.4 | 52K |
2B | DJ LeMahieu (COL) | at ARI | 7.9 | 51K |
3B | Nolan Arenado (COL) | at ARI | 13.8 | 60K |
OF | Charlie Blackmon (COL) | at ARI | 15.0 | 54K |
San Francisco's AT&T Park should give Samardzija the boost he needs to turn his 7.40 ERA around. His much-improved 11.1 K/9 further improves his fantasy potential. Though Colorado isn't at home, Chase Field in Arizona is still one of the most pitcher-friendly parks in the majors. Arenado and Blackmon each have seven homers this season.

Yas, Yasmany, Yas
POS | NAME | OPP | FPPG | SALARY |
---|---|---|---|---|
P | Jeff Samardzija (SF) | vs. SD | 7.2 | 75K |
C | Yasmani Grandal (LAD) | vs. PHI | 7.4 | 52K |
2B | Cesar Hernandez (PHI) | at LAD | 13.2 | 44K |
3B | Maikel Franco (PHI) | at LAD | 9.8 | 45K |
OF | Yasmany Tomas (ARI) | vs. COL | 12.7 | 53K |
Tomas has hit a superb .353 with a 1.172 OPS over his past nine games. His .313 career average against lefties should play well against rookie LHP Kyle Freeland. Hernandez and Franco draw RHP Kenta Maeda, who owns a horrid 3.32 HR/9 through 19 innings. Samardzija and Grandal remain constant, with Grandal's switch-hitting ability being a big plus against RHP Jerad Eickhoff.
