This article is part of our Weekly Hitter Rankings series.
Monday marks the first of seven home games for Boston, several of which are against a hittable hurler, so it should be a big week for the Red Sox. The right-handed brethren are in especially good shape with four southpaws on the docket. Keep in mind, Monday's start is 11:05 a.m. EDT, so set your alarm and make your weekly changes.
The Angels, Padres and Giants also have the full array of games with the Braves, Orioles, Rockies and Blue Jays drawing the short stick with just five tilts.
For those setting their lineups with platoons in mind, all seven of the Halos contests are scheduled to be with a righty starting while the Rays join Boston facing four southpaws.
As usual, these rankings will be updated on Sunday night, based on the latest available information.
Week of April 19-25.
