I didn't think I'd become such a fanatic, but I set 12 lineups today, all in the $200K MLB Super Rally:

A few quick thoughts before I post:

I used Scherzer in six of the 12, but am a little nervous after the Jays got shut out in the first game of the doubleheader. Scherzer is especially tough on righties, though, the Jays' best bats are right-handed and they're without Edwin Encarnacion. I used Noah Syndergaard in four lineups - it makes me nervous because I have him in the NFBC Main, but he has ace upside against a right-handed-heavy lineup at a modest price. I threw in one on Chris Heston who's good at home and another on Lance Lynn, who I expected to be heavily used.
