Tonight’s 10 game slate starts at 7:05 EST and has tons of options that should spread out ownership and allow the wise DFS player to focus on making the best plays based on the stats that have the greatest chance of paying off in a first place finish. These are my favorite slates, but I […]

It’s Tuesday June 4th and there is another great 10 game slate on deck for daily fantasy players. Looking over the slate as a whole, a few things stand out. There is a game in Coors with a CIN team that has suddenly broken out of their month-long slump. There are numerous pitchers to take […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Friday’s slate is a doozy with 13 games that are hard to sift through and see much of anything standing out. There are no clear starting pitcher plays (are there ever?) and there are very few offensive spots where you could justify a 5 man stack. However, it is highly likely that 5 man stacks […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Yankees offense has been on fire lately, specifically their OF. The numbers are astounding in terms of stats like Barrel %, avg EV, max EV, babip, HR/FB, and the countable stats like HRs, RBI/R are also adding up. It would be misleading to try to send you in another direction tonight and I am […]

I was out manning the BBQ on a Saturday night while the chicken thighs sizzled and I started thinking about my lineup that I had been building for the $555 Walk Off HR. Once a month or so I like to play a single bullet in a higher stakes contest to sharpen my thinking. It […]

There are three teams that have generated bottom of the barrel offensive stats for the season and into this recent stretch of play: CWS, MIA, and COL. COL and CWS are on the road facing capable SPs while MIA is at home facing the rookie flamethrower, Christian Scott. OAK enjoyed a run of hot power […]

Never jump into a slate this big without taking a macro view of the slate. There are 4 aces priced above 9k and Ronel Blanco also has a nice start at an elevated price tag. The odds are pretty good one of those guys has a nice game that you will want to own. There […]

Tuesday May 7th offers us a simple 8 game slate. Let’s dive right into some important stats to see what our choices are for tonight: Pitchers’ K/BB ratios are starting to normalize around their season long projections. The better ratios belong to Shota Imanaga (24/6) and Yoshinobu Yamamoto (26/6), but they are both priced up […]

Sometimes, less is more. My recent articles have been lengthy and if you can check out some of the teaching points in those, you will likely benefit and understand today’s thoughts a bit better. The Cardinals get to face B(r)ad Keller whose one positive data point is his high ground ball rate. San Diego and […]

DFS is such a fast-paced hobby that the quote from Ferris Bueller just keeps ringing in my head. Replace “life” with “DFS” and it makes a lot of sense: “DFS moves pretty fast, if you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you may miss it” As DFS players we get so ingrained […]

13 games is a (good) racket! I am mindful of the fact that the math can be done to analyze the odds of one of 13 games producing 10+ runs, but I also know I do not want to attempt that math. I will build lineups as if one or more games will be “had […]

However, choices should never be made for you in DFS – you need to understand why these suggestions are being made. Let’s start […]
