This article is part of our Weekly Hitter Rankings series.
It's a unique week with only four games on the Thursday schedule. Of the eight teams in action, only four also play on Monday, leaving them with a seven-game week. The busy clubs are the Guardians, Tigers, Nationals and Cardinals. Of the four, Cleveland is set up to have the most productive week.
Six squads play only five teams. They are the Braves, Athletics, Rays, Yankees, Marlins and Red Sox. Usually, it's best to avoid players on teams with only five games, but since they'll be competing mostly with batters with six games, don't categorically dismiss starting hitters in these half-dozen lineups.
