Weekly Hitter Rankings: Top Fantasy Baseball Batters to Target

There are a few upcoming scheduling quirks to keep in mind when setting lineups, beginning with a Monday twin bill at Wrigley Field with the Cubs meeting the Brewers to finish a five-game wraparound series - with the extra matchup giving each team eight for the week.

On Wednesday, the Red Sox and Orioles have a rare day off. The Rays and Cardinals are idle Saturday with the opener moved to Thursday to accommodate NFL exhibition in neighboring Raymond James Stadium. That means Tampa's the only club with the dreaded five-game schedule.

The Rockies, Astros, Royals, Dodgers, Padres, Giants and Rangers all play seven with everyone else slated for six.

The schedule may change, but early projections feature the Mariners facing a southpaw starter in five of six.

Please check back on Monday for the Individual Player Rankings.
