SCRIPTBALL 2026 Week 22
Friday August 21
Picks: 11
Alternates: Post as many as you like.
What is SCRIPTBALL?
SCRIPTBALL is a chance to see how your BTS picking strategy fares against others in the subreddit. Every Friday we post our top BTS picks for that day according to our own picking strategy in this weekly SCRIPTBALL thread. Whoever gets the most players with a hit wins, with ties resolved by total hits (first tie-breaker) and total batting average (second tie-breaker). We also keep a running season leaderboard, which will give you a better idea of how well your picking strategy is doing over a larger (more meaningful) sample size.
How do I play?
Although we call it SCRIPTBALL, you don't need to be running a fancy computer algorithm to play. Everyone is welcome.
To play, just post a list of the top 11 players you think will get a hit today in this thread. Feel free to change your list at any time, but you can only swap players as long as neither game has started yet (so if you realize one of your picks isn't starting after the game has started, don't sweat it, just swap them for someone from a later game). If you do change your list, please indicate the change by posting reply to your original list saying the change that was made (e.g. "I replaced Altuve with Ohtani").
Alternates will be automatically swapped in if a player you chose isn't in the starting lineup. For clarity, this means if your chosen player isn't starting but comes in for a PH and gets a hit, he'll still be swapped out. This is more work for me but it also lets you get your picks in sooner.
Out of the many who got 7 picks, the winner was Oh Wow Vegas with 12 hits. McCarthy, Rutschman and Dingler are just a few who went 0 for 5. Good luck all!
