MLB Lineup Updates for 4/8/16

Emmannuel Burriss is starting and batting eighth for Maikel Franco. He is a decent salary relief option today.

Starling Castro is hitting third for the New York Yankees today.

Weather Updates for 4/8/16

There is a 15% chance of rain in the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets game.

There is around a 40% chance of rain and snow in the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox game.

There is around a 50% chance of rain to begin the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds game, but it continuously decreases, so the game should be played.

There is a 15% chance of rain in the Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels game.

There is around a 45% chance of rain later in the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants game, so avoid pitching options from these teams.
