Can we officially do away with the notion that the HR Derby negatively affects its participants for the 2nd half? Teoscar went yard last night and Bobby Witt almost hit a cycle amongst his near perfect start to the 2nd half. The narrative does exist, however, that HR derby participants had to change their swing […]

DFS: New Beginnings Are Mets With Possibility
July 18, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fantasy Baseball DFS, FantasyDraft |by: Professor P Rich
Happy return to baseball and happy second half! It’s possible you are returning to DFS after a short break or you are returning and looking for a second chance to your season. Whatever the case, time off from MLB DFS gives us a lot of time to clear our minds and think about things anew. […]

There are so many options to consider when playing a 12 game slate and especially on a slate like today where no plays in particular stand out. While it can be overwhelming, I think it can also be much simpler. The same tenets of DFS still apply; Play for first place and build your lineups […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Good DFS lineups are a combination of floor and upside. A good pitcher, for example, can usually give you a nice floor score whether they get hit around or not because they also get strikeouts or nearly always pitch deep into games. A good team stack will give a high floor, but an individual player […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?DFS changed for me when I realized I had to play for first place to 1) ever make any real money 2) be a winning player at all. DFS contests are top heavy. I have been fortunate to take down several big tourneys in my career (including last night), and when I am not taking […]

Bias is an interesting thing. Before Grimmace, the New York Mets were left for dead in DFS contests. Soon Francisco Lindor caught fire and so followed the rest of the Mets. They have been the best offensive team over the past 30 days and just yesterday, on a 3 game slate, they were highly owned […]

Warning: If you do not take the time to review tonight’s slate, you will get burnt. DraftKings has 13 games lined up and there are not a lot of good pitching options. There are always plenty of good hitting options, but it’s much trickier than it normally is. There is no team that stands out […]

I audibly gasped when I opened up the DraftKings app tonight to start prepping for Tuesday’s slate. We don’t see too many million dollar contests for MLB DFS, but Tuesday’s 12 game slate will mark one of the only such contests this year. My wife pleaded with me not to drop the 60k max entry […]

Friday night gives DFS players an entertaining 10 game slate that includes some of the best offenses in MLB: BAL, LAD, CLE, MIN, NYY, SD, MIL, and HOU. We will have a lot of options to choose from. On the pitching side there are really attractive options up and down the pricing scale. All of […]

I think that recognizing our biases is the most important thing we can to be successful DFS players. If you play a lot you can develop biases without even recognizing them. One simple trick I employ is to look at each game in the DK app planning out which plays I would roster along the […]

When MLB gives you a great Friday slate, ya gotta get pumped up. There are 12 games this Friday night and I can help you get situated in the slate and give you some ideas of who/what teams to play. Keep reading. There are 4 pitchers above 8,500 who I would roster without question. As […]

Tonight we are faced with the challenge of sifting through 12 games to determine the best DFS lineup. Looking at the context of the slate, I am noticing only a handful of pitchers who stand out as good plays and nearly all cost top dollar. This logically points to a lot of potential for offense […]
