Saturday’s MLB schedule features 16 games, including a doubleheader between the Blue Jays and Yankees in New York, weather permitting. Game 1 of that double-dip starts off Saturday’s action at 1:05 p.m. ET along with two other games; Game 2 is slated for 4:35. Even if you’re not playing the afternoon slate in DFS, there are 12 games starting after 6, so it will still be a busy night of baseball, but watch out for rain (see Weather Watch below). Good luck in all your daily fantasy baseball contests!

Rockies closer John Axford turned in his ninth straight scoreless performance on Friday. Most people expected him to eventually relinquish the Rockies closer job when he regained in last month, but it looks like Axford will finish the year in the ninth inning for Colorado.
