So, should you choose Altuve or Albies (9/29/24)?

Batter vs pitcher

Both Altuve and Albies have the day off today.

Weather impact

Heavy wind (blowing out), hot temps, ballpark elevation, etc can all have a big impact on long fly balls. An extra few feet can be the difference between warning track and a 3-run dinger. Both Altuve and Albies have a day off, nothing to see here.

Weekly Roster Lock Leagues

For those of you in leagues that require you to set your lineup before the start of each week, day offs can be a bummer. Everything else being equal, give the edge to players that play at least one more game a week. For the M-F week that includes 9/29/24, Altuve has 6 games scheduled, while Albies has 5. So, with one more game, that could make a difference, especially in H2H leagues where you need to pile up points. Slight advantage to Altuve.

What's your take?
