It certainly seems like Charlie Morton has hit the wall this year. The 39-year-old pitcher’s strike-out rate is down, the walk rate is up, and luck indicators don’t show that he’s getting unlucky. Today he’ll rate fine against a Yankees team that has continued to struggle, but I’m looking to target the big boppers. On […]

*cue siren noise and guitars* Stridin’ the storm out Waitin’ for the strikeouts On a humid night at the Green Monster of Fenway Ok so I may not be Weird Al with my song parody ideas, but who is? I am someone who has been playing baseball DFS for years. One of the DFS […]

The MLB season rolls on. The All-Star Break is close. Pitchers are going on phantom IL stints. The DFS player pool is also shrinking as our opponents get bored and start thinking about football. This is a good time to take a step back and reexamine our DFS play. Maybe you set a goal for […]

A haze wraps the country in a blanket as Canada continues to breathe its smoky breath down from the north. A five-game DraftKings night slate opens. At 7:10 eastern, Max Scherzer, grunting with a look of malice in his two-toned eyes, tosses the first pitch of what will be 110 total, striking out 12 Brewers […]

Shohei Ohtani is really good at baseball. Everyone has seen the Tungsten Arm O’Doyle joke by now about how each day Ohtani and Mike Trout achieve some fantastic feat, and then the Angels still lose the game. Is there such a thing as a post-meme sleeper? Ohtani continues to pile up outrageous stats. Going into […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Chalk. Is there a piece of DFS vernacular that is more ubiquitous among all the articles and streaming shows? I’m just as guilty in my work as anyone else. I went into this season thinking I was going to try to express myself avoiding common phrases like “The Chalk,” but when the article rubber […]

Stack against the Athletics. That’s it. Their pitching staff has reached historic levels of terribleness. Even if the A’s starter for the day stumbles through five innings of good baseball, they’ll probably bring in a string of relievers with ERAs closer to 10 than 3. It’s never that simple in reality. DFS slate context always […]

Justin Verlander returns to action today after an initial IL stint stemming from a shoulder muscle strain in Spring Training. The Mets as a team need this injection to their rotation like that guy at the park just hovering in place needed his. Regardless of what you think about the suspension of Max Scherzer, it’s […]

Let’s talk about roster construction to start. Specifically looking at DraftKings and how to look at your lineups as one unit. It’s easy to get tied into thinking about each individual piece of a DFS lineup alone. How the pieces mesh can be more important. Today, Gerrit Cole is a pretty clear top option according […]

Hello, how are you doing? Have you made it to a game yet? I haven’t. Also, Franchy Cordero has hit a home run in the last three games for the Yankees. This might be important to other DFS picks and break-down articles you read today. He still has a cheap salary. He still has an […]

One week of baseball is in the scorebooks. Stolen bases are up, BABIP is up, and the pitch clock (outside of a few curmudgeons) is already being hailed as a success. Hopefully, your DFS Picks have been cooking. Today’s big DFS slate on DraftKings has been slowly shrinking from eight to four games as they […]
