PLV Projections Team Offense Ranking (4/6 Update)

Top	Solid	Average	Weak	Poor
ATL	@ATH	ATH	ARI	CHW
DET	@BOS	BAL	CIN	CLE
LAD	@CIN	BOS	@COL	COL

Remember, these offensive rankings are based on each offense’s Process+ so far this year and how we project their lineups moving forward. It means you’re going to see a little different offensive rankings than you may see elsewhere, and there will always be some surprises. This is based on skills, not purely results! If you have questions about these offense rankings, reach out to Kyle Bland (@blandalytics).

Relievers to Stream Today (Rostered under 50% in Yahoo)

Rank	Pitcher	Notes
1	Bryan Baker	@ PIT, he is still rostered at just 20%?
2	Gregory Soto	vs. TB, no Santana today
3	Erik Sabrowski	vs. BAL, no Smith potentially
4	Drew Pomeranz	vs. SD, Romano out as closer?
5	Gus Varland	vs. SF, Beeter could be off (does it matter?)
6	Enyel De Los Santos	vs. STL, emerging as teams 1A closer?
7	Jordan Leasure	@ ATH, no Seranthony today
8	Jakob Junis	@ SEA, best in a full committee bullpen
