Here are theScore's sample Squad Up lineups for the nine-game late slate beginning at 7:05 p.m. EST on Saturday, April 22:

Kennedy's litmus test

POS NAME OPP FPPG SALARY
C Martin Maldonado (LAA) vs. TOR 4.7 34K
SS Corey Seager (LAD) at ARI 12.3 56K
3B Nolan Arenado (COL) vs. SF 14.5 73K
OF Charlie Blackmon (COL) vs. SF 10.5 63K
P Ian Kennedy (KC) at TEX 19.6 74K

Kennedy has been a surprise this season, notching a 2.37 ERA with 19 strikeouts over 19 innings. The Rangers swing freely, but they are still a formidable offensive unit at home. Arenado and Blackmon could excel against LHP Matt Moore inside of Coors Field. Maldonado is a cheap play that could come across to score if he can get on base for the top of the Angels' lineup.

An Edwing sighting

POS NAME OPP FPPG SALARY
C J.T. Realmuto (MIA) at SD 10.8 45K
SS Francisco Lindor (CLE) at CWS 14.6 51K
1B Edwin Encarnacion (CLE) at CWS 8.0 55K
OF Mike Trout (LAA) vs. TOR 14.7 69K
P Tyler Skaggs (LAA) vs. TOR 10.3 62K

Encarnacion has busted out his patented home run trot only twice this season. Against SP Mike Pelfrey, though, Eddie's parrot could be out for a stroll. Trout continues to rake and should feast on Toronto SP Casey Lawrence, who is making his first major league start. Skaggs will come away with an easy victory if his offense does most of the work.
