Pirates 6-1, Tigers 5-1.
It's the first week. The surprises make it fun. We may need to invoke the rain out rules for your Braves pick this week depending how their series with the Dbacks shakes out.

Rainouts: Games will occasionally be postponed due to rain. Games that are made up during the same series as doubleheaders will be treated as normal games with the win or loss counting to the team's total for the week. Games that are postponed and rescheduled later in the season will be treated as follows: If the game would not impact the participants ability to move onto the next week (for instance a team is scheduled for 7 games but plays 6 and wins 4 out of the 6) then the player moves on and the game is ignored. If the game would not impact the the participants ability to avoid a strike (for instance a team is scheduled for 7 games but plays 6 and wins only 2 out of 6) then the player is issued a strike and the game is ignored. If the game is relevant to the player's ability to move on (for instance a team is scheduled for 6 games and plays only 5 and wins 2 of 5) then it will go to team run differential for the week. If the chosen team has an equal or positive run differential for all games played that week the player moves on. If the chosen team has a negative run differential for that week the player gets a strike.

Thanks for the clarification! Also thank god they won 9-0 in the first game of the week and have since had close games in general!
A super unique question but one I was curious about and thought of with today's earthquake in NY. I am originally from Houston so in 2017 we got wrecked by Harvey and it nuked the Astros schedule for a couple of weeks. In a situation like that where your home games for instance are moved to another state is that taken into consideration? For example, on Monday once we have locked in picks NY gets hit with another earthquake that damages the stadium and they were supposed to play the whole week at home. The league would postpone a few of the games as they try to set up a secondary location so how would that factor into the whole thing? Would you more or less get a bye due to the circumstances?

It's hard to have provisions for everything. I guess we would have to assess based on the circumstance and determine what affected participants and all other participants think is fair. If it was early in the pool my guess is it would essentially be a bye but I wouldn't want a player to win the pool or avoid their third strike that way if it was later in the pool so we would have to figure it out at that point.
