This article is part of our Weekly Hitter Rankings series.
There are only 93 games on the docket, and that includes three extra tilts, with a pair of standalone makeups on Monday as the Royals host the White Sox and the Rangers entertain the Twins before the Cubs and Cardinals play an Ernie Banks special with a Tuesday doubleheader in Wrigley Field.
Tuesday's twin bill gives the Cardinals and Cubs eight games, while the Diamondbacks, Tigers, Padres, Giants and Nationals have a pair of off days. Sixteen teams play six games, so optimizing matchups will be even more important this week. To that end, Oakland and Philadelphia both have seven home games while the Reds and Angels play seven on the road.
The Brewers split their schedule with three each home and away, but they're slated to face six southpaws, which is good for Willy Adames and Keston Hiura but hurts Rowdy Tellez, Christian Yelich and Kolten Wong.
Exciting news for sports enthusiasts in Massachusetts! Online sports betting will be launched in early March, giving residents the ability to easily place bets on their favorite sports using their mobile devices. One of the biggest perks of creating a new account is the opportunity to take advantage of welcome bonuses, which can greatly enhance your online betting experience.
If you're new to online sports betting, you'll be delighted to know that six different sportsbooks are offering a variety of Massachusetts sports betting promos, with thousands of dollars in welcome offers up for grabs.
BetMGM Massachusetts is offering a generous welcome

BetMGM Massachusetts is offering a generous welcome bonus for new players who redeem the BetMGM Massachusetts bonus code. Previously, the bonus gave players $200 in bonus bets before the launch of online sports betting in Massachusetts, but now it provides players with a first bet offer worth up to $1,000!
But that's not all! Bettors in Massachusetts can also take advantage of the Caesars Sportsbook Massachusetts promo code to receive a first bet on Caesars worth up to $1,500. This is currently the best offer available for sports bettors in the Bay State, as Caesars Massachusetts is making a strong debut in New England.
The team to target is the Philadelphia Phillies, as they'll welcome the vulnerable Reds and Pirates rotations and bullpens into Citizens Bank Park.
