LINEUP OUTLOOK: Maximizing plate appearances

It's moving season in the standings. While many focus on their fantasy football lineups this weekend, the diehards will be taking advantage by loading their lineups with some of the scheduling wrinkles next week. Cincinnati, weather permitting, will play nine games, including two doubleheaders. Those in need of counting statistics may find some gems on the waiver wire, we will list three. Pittsburgh will play eight games, all on the road which makes our recommended sneaky add for their squad much more intriguing. Last, but not least, those seeking help in batting average should kick the tires on a new addition in Tampa Bay for the stretch run.
