Hey I'm Mike. You probably know my name already but I have a hard time talking about myself without saying "Hey I'm Mike" first. I am a die hard sports fan. Mets baseball, then the NBA in general and 49er football coming in at the end. I have been playing DFS on and off for about 5 years. There was a summer where I thought I might be able to do it for a living. Problem is I wasn't good enough at NFL DFS and would lose whatever I'd won playing baseball and basketball. So here I am now. Actually thrilled to join the Razzball team. Oh yeah I have a wife and daughter whom I love tremendously.

FanDuel: Living On A Prayer: Long Shot Bets & Contrarian Starting Pitchers

June 27, 2021 | 2021 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel |

by:

Happy Sunday friends. Why is it happy you ask? Why the eff not I answer. Nah I couldn’t think of anything else to say to start off the article. Anyway, welcome to our DFS MLB tout article, the Sunday version. Today is an interesting day in the world of Major League Baseball. There are 2 of the top 5 fantasy pitchers going today, plus a few good mid-tier guys accompanied by a litany of solid lower-level options. If you are new here I will tell you that I don’t tout the big-time pitchers. Everyone knows they are good and especially today where strikeout records are being broken left and right. Whether or not to roster these studs is more about roster construction. I did talk a little about this a few weeks ago if you want to go back and check. Seems like we got the pleasantries and ancillary stuff out of the way, so let’s do this.

Fanduel: Breakfast In Bed With A Side Of Degen

June 20, 2021 | 2021 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel | 1 Comment

Happy fathers day fellow degens! If you are reading this article with an eye to building lineups as your wife and kids make you breakfast then you are in fact sir, a degen. Celebrate it though don’t shun it. Men overwhelmingly play DFS and men also make up most fathers, not all mind you; we live in interesting times. That’s not what you are here to read about I just wanted to point out the fact that today can be a day to celebrate the fact that we (us men) love to gamble, even while being honored as fathers. Even if you don’t have kids consider yourself celebrated, in this article at least. Regarding the aforementioned day of fathers I regret to inform you that my article will be a bit shorter this week as I do have a fun filled day (too much food and the fam). So basically average size when you consider the word salad my past articles have been. Lets not waste on more time on pleasantries and get right to it.

FanDuel: Good Plays And A Betting Hot Streak

June 13, 2021 | 2021 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel | 1 Comment

Welcome back, friends. We are on a serious hot streak with our Lines in Vegas and have been doing pretty well with our FanDuel plays also. Let’s buckle down and get ready to win some money on this fine Sunday (depending on where you live).

I usually like to give you 3 starting pitchers to consider. There are actually a bunch of interesting options on today’s slate so that be pretty easy. Instead, I will do a write-up of 1 pitcher then give you a few more to think about. There really is a lot of good choices today. From top to bottom of the salary scale. All things considered, though I think the best point per dollar starting pitcher is…

FanDuel: Keep Riding The Corbin Burnes Train

What’s up everybody, welcome back to another episode of  Sunday DFS. Hope everyone had a good week, good 2 weeks as I was off last Sunday. I know there is a crossover between the different gambling fields so some of you reading have made good money off AMC, yes? Hopefully, you sold high on all of your TopShot moments because you knew the bubble would burst. Or maybe you really thought a Josh Hart assist highlight would always be worth $300, eck. But I digress. We are here today to win money, and win money we shall.

FanDuel: In Defense Of

May 23, 2021 | 2020 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel | 2 Comments

Hello again my fellow degens. Welcome back to our Sunday installment of MLB DFS. I finally lost count as to which number this is. It could just be my brain trying to erase these articles from my memory due t0 less then stellar performance as of late. This article is going to be a bit of a look back and then of course some plays to make for todays slate. I want people to feel confident that they are getting quality plays when they come here. Even though I had a good week personally 2 of my last 3 Sunday touts have mostly missed the mark. If you have wagered on the teams in our Lines in Vegas section you feel different because I have been close to a stone cold lock with regards to bets. Unfortunately for me, if not so much for you, this is primarily a DFS article. Before we get into the WHO, I want to talk about the HOW.

Fanduel: Michael Jordan Or Jordan Montgomery – Win/Win – Right?

May 16, 2021 | 2021 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel |

What’s up peeps! I found out last week that I have at least two regular readers. Wow, I’m pumped and super motivated, two regulars baby. I write for you guys! I’m only half joking I’m actually really excited that even one person would open Razzball on Sundays to read my stuff. This is why we do it. There is one small caveat today though, I have a wedding in like two hours (my cousin that I haven’t seen in years but my wife tells me it would be “bad form” if we didn’t go). So this wont be the endless word salad that you’ve become accustomed too. I really am just going to give y’all a few plays to start your Sunday lineups. Shout out to Mike D who took our advice and parlayed two dogs into a win. Congrats man lets see if we can replicate that today.

Fanduel: Redemption For Us And The Racoon

May 9, 2021 | 2021 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel, Fantasy Baseball DFS | 4 Comments

We had our first brutally bad week last Sunday. Basically, everything I told you to do was wrong. I said to roster Mahle and Jaiver over Scherzer. I told you guys to roster the Tigers vs Kluber. Well Mad Max pitched a complete game and struck out pretty much everyone and Kluber pitched 7 crafty innings with a enough K’s to have a big day shutting down Detroit who is the worst offense in baseball (I tell you now right). I could say something about PROCESS over RESULTS which is absolutely true but you have your process (hopefully, wait you guys have a process right?). You come here for some +EV plays boost your lineups and I failed you, badly. Its bound to happen, but not like this.

Seriously, its a good learning experience. Don’t listen to a word I say. Ok, for real, seriously, we are up overall if you’ve used good contest entry strategy and bankroll management. So, lets just pick up the pieces and get ready to get that money today. I wont say “lets go!” because its been so played out by the Topshot bros and many other “bros”. We need something though to get us amped up for this week, lets fu*#ing go baby! Much better.

FanDuel: Kicking The Yankees While They Are Down

May 2, 2021 | 2021 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel |

by:

What’s going on everyone, welcome back. This is our 5th installment of FanDuel DFS Sundays. I’ll eventually lose count and stop saying this. Until then welcome to #5. If you tuned into our 4th article last week, and made some of the plays I suggested, you might be richer today then you were last Sunday. I hope that is the case, this is why we do what we do. Don’t get me wrong, playing fantasy is fun, but DFS is more about grinding that ROI (return on investment) then it is about having a good time. Lets get back at it this week and try to win some more money. There are 2 pitchers I will be fading and 1 I will be targeting. What do you say we skip the small talk and get to it? Cool…

FanDuel: A Pitcher List And A Prayer

April 25, 2021 | 2021 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel, Fantasy Baseball DFS | 4 Comments

by:

Hello again and welcome back to our 4th installment of DFS Sundays. Today we have a shizz-ton of games on the FanDuel slate. Which means we have a double shizz-ton of pitchers. Funny enough, there were more elite starting pitchers in yesterday’s Yankees vs. Indians (2) game then there are in 15 games today (none). With no pitcher over 10k we will have to spread the love. That also means ownership will be down and there probably wont be any one SP over 15% owned. I smell opportunity, or maybe that’s just me, I started showering at night instead of the morning recently. The list of probable starters is like a who’s who of 3rd starters and young guys trying to prove themselves. Luis Patino has his first start of the year for Tampa. Considering I have invested some money in his rookie cards, you’d think I have motivation to start him. Unfortunately, you can’t trust the Rays to let Blake Snell pitch 5 innings in the World Series during a dominate start, there is no way Patino is going to go deep. Well, no way we can bet on it at least. No worry, there are still many more intriguing options on todays slate. Since there are so many guys without there being any clear #1, I am going to give you a list of who I will be going with in my handful of GPP and cash game lineups.

FanDuel: Fade Justin Bieber And J Cole – Fire Up Fast Freddy

April 18, 2021 | 2021 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel | 3 Comments

Greetings and salutation friends! Welcome to week 3 of my baseball DFS Sunday musings. If you have followed my advice in the first 2 weeks you have won money. Logan Allen far exceeded value last week, the Yankees scored 8 runs. I also have hit on all 3 of my sportsbook plays since starting here at Razzball. I must be swimming in money too huh? Well no, I moved from Jersey to Georgia 3 years ago right as NJ legalized sports betting. Georgia is still debating whether or not to allow…. Nevermind no politics!

Today I have a pitcher that I LOVE combined with a stack that will help you win both GPP and cash games. So far I have given you cheap pitching options so that we could load up on bats. That’s my sure fire cash game strategy which can also help in low entry GPPs. Today we are going to move up and tier and target Freddy Peralta ($8,500). With Bieber and Cole on the slate today Peralta is a great way to pivot while saving money and getting almost the same upside.

FanDuel: Fade Stroman Like He Blocked You On Twitter (He Probably Did)

April 11, 2021 | DFS, Fanduel, Fantasy Baseball DFS |

by:

Welcome back friends. You are either lost or you loved my 1st installment of “DFS Sunday Musings” (I just made that name up). There is no in between. If you are lost take a seat anyway and get ready for some top of the line tout work. Lets win some money, shall we?

If we were playing baseball karma fantasy, Marcus Stroman would be justified as the highest priced play. He is the top pitcher on the main slate today on FanDuel at $9,400. He is $900 more then the next pitcher. Since this is baseball and not feel good DFS I am automatically fading him, as the title suggests. Don’t get me wrong Stroman helps the Mets win, but he will not help us win money today. He lacks strikeout potential. The first thing I learned about MLB DFS is to pay up for K’s. That has held true since I heard it and might be the truest thing in any DFS. At 3 points a K (only 6 for a win and 3 per inning pitched) nothing helps you rack up points quickly more then a pitcher missing bats. Okay so don’t play Stro you say, fine, who should we play? I was about to get to that…

FanDuel: Coors Field Giveth; and Coors Field Taketh Away

April 4, 2021 | 2021 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel |

by:

Hello fellow DFS degens and welcome to my weekly baseball DFS space. Here we will talk about daily fantasy strategy, players to target, Matchups, my top picks on the FanDuel sportsbook (starting next week) and baseball in general. Though not so much the latter. They tell me only the really good writers get to do straight baseball articles. ? For now though I will guide my fellow gamblers (skill based based of course) into the world of +EV. For any newbs that may be gracing these pages +EV simply means plus expected value. Basically you want all of your plays whether they be bets, draft picks in season long fantasy or what contests/players you should play in DFS to bring you the most bang for your buck. That’s put very simply but you just get the gist. Joining a $1000 head to head football contest hosted by Jonathan Bales would be an example of -EV.
