Count Me In!

I don’t know how often this actually happens, but the schedule for Week 3 has all the American League teams playing seven (7) games, and all the National League teams playing six (6) games. 

Lend A Hand

For those of you in deeper leagues, or if you’re playing with platoon players on your team, the following teams are facing three (3) or more left-handed pitchers next week.

Blue Jays (3), Indians (3), Angels (3), Mets (3), Nationals (3), Diamondbacks (3)

Padres (3), Dodgers (4)

Hitter/Pitcher Parks and Match Ups

The following teams may have an advantage because of where or who they are playing during Week 3.

The Orioles play all their games in Camden Yards.

The Blue Jays are in hitter’s parks all week long.

The Mariners are in pitcher’s parks all week long.

The Phillies play all their games in Citizens Bank Park.

The Cubs are in the friendly confines of Wrigley all week.

The Reds play in the Great American Ballpark all week.

The Cardinals play all their games at Busch Stadium.

The Dodgers are playing in pitcher’s parks all week.

The Giants are playing in pitcher’s parks all week.

Runnin’ With the Devil

Make sure you have your speedsters from these teams active this week as they face some of the most generous catchers and pitchers in baseball when it comes to stolen bases.

Rockies, Dodgers, Cardinals, Reds, Mets, Marlins, Orioles, Yankees*, Rays, A’s, Rangers

*According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Yankees have zero (0) stolen bases 10 games into the season for the first time since 1948.  Maybe this is their week.
