A few notes on tonight's playbook:

*I BOLDED some players who are better plays on a particular site.

*Expect some fireworks at Coors Field.

*I don't have much exposure to the Tigers tonight despite the seemingly favorable matchup with CC Sabathia. Sabathia has pitched better this season despite the numbers and just couldn't fit some of them in. They are not bad plays, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them quiet tonight.

*Derek Norris is a must-start at catcher.

Here is the DFS playbook for Monday April 20th:
