If anyone gets the D2: The Mighty Ducks reference in the title, brilliant! I went backwards today and wrote about the players I am focusing on below before this initial breakdown. I don’t want to write too much here, because my basic message is that I like the Cardinals and the Blue Jays tonight. I […]

DraftKings
DFS is never easy. I am mired in a slump of sorts where it seems like I am a day or two off of my recommendations. It basically seems like every time I roster a player or a pitcher, they have their ceiling game a day or two after I roster them. Still, I must […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Games that are played in Colorado are more likely to produce a higher score because Coors has 12% more scoring than the average game. DFS players know this and love to roster opposing offenses in Colorado, but the players’ prices increase as well. Aaron Judge had his price raised nearly 10% because of this matchup […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?When you look at pitcher heat maps, you will see a red circular shape where the pitcher most often hits the catcher’s mitt. Some pitchers have two spots they like to target in the zone, but most have one particular spot they like to focus inside the zone. For Tarik Skubal, that dot is very […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?11 of the top 25 starting pitchers (by SIERA) are starting today. Cole Ragans, Jack Flaherty, and Max Meyer are in this grouping, but due to some small sample issues, they still have an ERA over 4. This means that with 24 offenses to choose from, I am cancelling out 11 right away. Here is […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Whenever I review a slate and find the makings of a straightforward slate, my mind instantly starts looking for the holes. Can the advanced stats, the matchup charts, and Vegas all be wrong somewhere, and if so, is it worth it to take the risk? I am usually very grateful for this way of thinking, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I start my process every day by recognizing that making money in DFS requires 1st place finishes every so often and that I must have a fearless mentality (willing to lose) in order to win. I love the way this slate sets me up to play fearless tonight. I think the high priced “safe” pitching […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?If you haven’t done this already, grab your phone (or laptop) and open up the DK app to check out the slate tonight. Start by going through the list of pitchers, and if your bias works anything like mine, you will start identifying pitchers who you want to play tonight. Up at the top, Tarik […]

We have a fun 10 game slate tonight on DraftKings. There are 3 exciting SPs that come with expensive price tags and 3 cheaper SPs I will be looking to roster. Personally, I use K/BB ratios and projected K/BB to hone in on the most viable SPs for the day. I also look at the […]

How is it going so far for you this DFS season? Think about how your season-long teams are doing and how your DFS results have gone. What attitude are you approaching today’s slate with? If you have not been successful, there can be a slight bias developing towards more conservative game play in DFS while […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?DFS is about decision making. Before constructing your lineup on any given slate, it is best to assess what types of decisions you will need to make and then start working through those decisions. Let’s take tonight as an example. When I look at this slate I see some obvious SP choices at the top […]

Americans (at least pre-tariff Americans) would feel very adept at navigating a slate like tonight, but in actuality, they would be prone to massive bias. There are just too many options and while Americans have been used to plentiful options throughout the past 50 years at least, we are prone to bias as a way […]
