Playing DFS is like a puzzle right, trying to find the pieces to make it work and fit just perfectly. I was doing a puzzle with my daughter the other day and I was like this is a similar feeling that I get when I’m doing my lineups sifting through all this information to make lineups and get them to fit just right is like sifting through a big ole puzzle box to find the right pieces. Writing on Mondays it’s always a crapshoot on how many teams play and today we have the fewest number of teams playing on a Monday this season with 4 games on the main slate. It’s the hand we are dealt with so let’s get into it. The interesting part of the slate to me is we have four pitchers that will garner attention across the board from everybody making lineups today which is good that we have some variation in such a small slate today. 3 of the pitchers — Peralta, Musgrove, and Tallion — are all pitching very well as of late and Giolito plays for a team that can put up a huge number of runs today, and although inconsistent this season he can put up a 50 for you with no problem against the Twins. I think I’m going with the guy who I think will be the lowest if not the 2nd lowest owned pitcher and the one you will have to wait to see until the last game of the night which is fine with me and that’s Joe Musgrove ($9,000). I think he is pitching the best out of the four right now and although Freddy is also pitching well I’ll take the $1,200 savings and use it to make my lineup a lot stronger hitting-wise. Both have great matchups against their opponents with Peralta facing the Cubs and Musgrove against the Marlins. Musgrove is at home while Peralta is away and I just think DFS players on the east coast especially would rather stay up and watch their pitcher so Musgrove might be a little under-owned which gives me an edge today. I’ll take any edge I can get today on this slate.
