Some people don’t understand that Double Down is so hard to win BTS but people will still do it. I have been playing since it was only 1 a day along with the good Professor, Dragbunt, Carol and Mark. We know that one a day is how you go because it’s less stressful but the current BTS leader is at 25 but they will fall. People are starting to fall and it’s only a matter of time. Let’s do it.

Recap Of April 15th– Jose Altuve- 0 for 3- Didn’t do anything at all last night Detroit and was picked a lot.

Bryce Harper- 3 for 4- Harper had a great game and he is hitting well right now. Was my only pick.

David Peralta- 1 for 3- Did get a hit last night but it was close. Was one of my Sleepers.

Devin Mesoraco- 0 for 1- Didn’t start which was a surprise but did pinch hit and did nothing. Was my second sleeper.

Nolan Arenado- 1 for 5- Did get a hit and I really thought he wouldn’t. Was my Pick To  Avoid.

Recommended Picks By MLB For April 16th– Christian Yelich- Yelich has a hit in every game so far this season that he has played so he is somebody I would look at against Bud Norris and Atlanta. Yelich has a .501 WOBA so far this season. Yelich has never faced Bud Norris so he could do something or Norris could shut him down but I would look at him.

Nelson Cruz- Cruz was slumping but he went to the Bronx and came alive. Cruz doesn’t hit CC Sabathia well but he could do something today. Cruz has 10 hits for a .256 average so far this season. Cruz has a .377 WOBA so far this season. Cruz has 3 hits for a .167 average against Sabathia in his career so far. Cruz has a .223 WOBA against Sabathia in his career so far.

Sleeper Picks For April 16th– Troy Tulowitzki- Tulowitzki has been slumping so far this season. He hasn’t done much at all but he could have a good game today against David Price and Boston. Tulo has 5 hits for a .132 average so far this season. Tulo has a .245 WOBA so far this season. Tulo has 4 hits for a .667 average against Price in his career so far. Tulo has an .821 WOBA against Price in his career so far. Tulo hasn’t done much at all but he could get out of his slump today but I would be careful.

Carlos Correa- Correa is hitting well and that could continue tonight against Justin Verlander and Detroit. Correa has 12 hits for a .286 average so far this season. Correa has a .386 WOBA so far this season. Correa has 1 hit for a 1.000 average against Verlander in his career so far. Correa has a .767 WOBA against Verlander in his career so far. Correa could have a good game tonight and I think he will do well.

Sleeper Pick Record: 14-8-2- Mesoraco didn’t do anything or start. Did pinch hit and did nothing.

Pick To Avoid For April 16th– Robinson Cano- Cano has been slumping but he had a good game last but he could continue to do nothing against CC Sabathia today. Cano has 9 hits for a .214 average so far this season. Cano has a .365 WOBA so far this season. Cano has 2 hits for a .167 average against Sabathia in his career so far. Cano has a .150 WOBA against Sabathia in his career so far. Cano doesn’t hit Sabathia at all and I think he will do nothing today.

Pick To Avoid Record: 3-7-2- Arenado had 1 hit but that’s all it takes.

My Pick(s) For April 16th– Carlos Correa is my first pick for tonight. For all stats see Sleeper Pick above.

JD Martinez- Martinez is my second choice for tonight and this is for Double Down for me. There are so many options for tonight and he is one of them. He hits well against Colin McHugh and I think he will do something tonight. Martinez has 14 hits for a .412 average so far this season. Martinez has a .455 WOBA so far this season. Martinez has 2 hits for a .500 average against McHugh in his career so far. Martinez has a .717 WOBA against McHugh in his career so far. Martinez has been raking so far and I think he will have a great game tonight.

Current Record: 9-4- Harper came through in his first at bat.

Double Down Record: 8-4- Today is my last day of Double Down. Not dealing with it. Tonight because there are a lot of good picks for tonight.

Current Average: 40 for 91 for .440

Other Potentials For April 16th– Bryce Harper has been hitting and I think that continues. Harper has a .760 WOBA against Aaron Nola in his career so far. Harper has 10 hits for a .313 average so far this season.

Jackie Bradley Jr. has a .725 WOBA against Marco Estrada in his career so far. Bradley Jr has 8 hits for a .286 average so far this season.

My other potentials went 1-1-0 yesterday. Smoak didn’t do anything Escobar had a hit. Today is a good day to do Double Down so I am. Hopefully we will all be on streaks after today/tonight. Good luck to all.

Possible Rainouts: Baltimore Orioles at Texas Rangers. 20% chance of rain at start of the game.
