WEEK AHEAD: Hitter Matchups, April 11-17

Ed. Note—The Week Ahead will be a stand-alone column for this first week only. Starting next Sunday, it will be folded into our MARKET PULSE weekly FAAB column. 

 

Our Week Ahead Matchup Tool (Teams Week Ahead from the top menu bar) is a team-level look at the coming week... from a hitter's perspective. It combines daily matchup ratings from the 8-day view of our Starting Pitcher Matchup Tool with Park Factors to give general guidance when planning your weekly lineups.

NOTE: Start/sit decisions and weekly FAAB pickups should be limited to the last few spots on your active roster. Skills trump everything else, so don't sit one of your studs for a fringe hitter just because of a better matchup.
