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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
