DFS Amateur Hour - Monday Lineups

I blew $50 on Sunday with two bad lineups amidst the NFL chaos, bringing my bankroll to $1326.24. I'm not adding (or subtracting as the case may be - we'll see after tonight's NFL games) my NFL DFS results into this bankroll. It's MLB only.

For tonight, I set three lineups, two serious ones, and one with Eric Hosmer in it because apparently he defended Eli Manning as an elite QB and stormed off to hit in the cage when his teammates laughed at him. I figure there's a chance he channels the rage he must feel at Eli being unfairly smeared as non-elite. You might think I'm joking (I am in the sense I'm implying Eli was smeared), but not entirely. I believe in odd coincidences, and discovering Hosmer is a fellow Giants fan in my Twitter timeline as I was setting lineups qualifies. Lineups are below:

There's some rain delay risk with Clayton Kershaw, but a home game against the Rockies who don't hit lefties well was too much to pass up. Otherwise, I stacked Twins against Kyle Lobstein and Rays against C.C. Sabathia.
