Ten, What a number!? It symbolizes completeness and finality. Count to ten. Groups of 10. 5 v 5 = 10. Well, there are 10 games on the main slate tonight and that’s a great number for a slate. For today’s article, I want to walk you through my process which starts with a table of […]

It’s Tuesday and we only have 9 games on the main DraftKings slate. The research is going to be easier to sort through, but with fewer games on the slate, it’s always important to remember that ownership can congregate, and in a game where we are playing for first place (because tournament winnings are top […]

This is a large slate we are facing with 14 games and plenty of options. It is wholly appropriate to feel lost in trying to figure out who to roster. Do you stack one team, two or none? Many people will be submitting lineups into GPPs that were built by AI builders using projection systems. […]

Hello Tuesday! Tonight we have a 13 game slate on Draftkings, which immediately should trigger us to approach the slate thinking less about ownership and more about ceiling plays. Why? Ownership will almost certainly be spread out organically, but that means more opportunities for big scores to inflate our DFS scores. There will likely be […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?There are only 8 games on this Friday’s slate with 6 games kicking off prior to 7 EST. It’s a rare size of slate for a Friday, with some advantages for those of us who can spot them. Logic tells us that ownership will become more concentrated on certain plays. Additionally, less opportunities for offense […]

Tuesdays slate on DraftKings is something of an underwhelming mess. It’s underwhelming because the pitching choices are few and far between and highlight some guys whose recent performance has generated some pretty loud vitriol on Twitter amongst fans. The slate is a bit of a mess because stacks are so obvious yet so plentiful that […]

Friday Night gives us a fun 13 game slate. As always, my process has highlighted a few spots that I am more interested in than others and a few potential spots where ownership may congregate in a way that will make those plays -EV. Let’s look at those ownership spots first. While I actually like […]

There are plenty of MLB DFS truthers out there however NFL preseason starts on Thursday and plenty of sharp players are turning their attention to NFL prep. The MLB DFS life is a daily grind, easier to manage if you have a process, but the decision making can still wear on a person and bias […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?My process for examining a slate always starts with a look into the K/BB numbers for pitchers and their opponents as well as a look at which teams perform well vs. the type of pitcher (LH/RH) they will be facing. I am able to pinpoint the teams I want to target for offensive production and […]

Today marks MLB’s trading deadline where a player could be dealt anytime up until 6pm ET. Late news is always the most difficult to react to, so if you can pay attention up until that time, you may get some deals on guys who move up in the order or pitchers who face an easier […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?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 […]

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. […]
