Prior to this season, I usually made sure to get players slated for a doubleheader into my lineup. 2 games worth of plate appearances but only 1 game towards limits? Sign me up.
Now with doubleheader games being limited to 7 innings, I often think it through a little more. Fortunately for me, a lot of my hitters this year are hitting near the top of the lineup and can still get 4 platete appearances even if they happen to sit for the second game.
But for players who are slated to start but hit lower down in the lineup, I really only feel confident starting them if I know they are likely to play both games.

But doubleheaders should count only as one game, unless Otto has the capability to differentiate between players who play in one or both games of a DH. Otherwise one game s/b the rule for double headers. This is especially true now that both ends are 7 innings.
