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.

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.
