The SPs at the top of the pricing tiers are going to be popular tonight. Anyone from Logan Webb, Woo, Pivetta, Eovaldi, Imanaga and Gore gets a decent projection tonight. All of these pitchers are projected for 5.5-6.5 Ks tonight and 3.5 ERAs (Pivetta, Webb, Eovaldi, and Imanaga) or 4s (Woo, Gore). A case can […]

In 2018, the Astros won the AL West, and deGrom and Scherzer led the league in all pitching categories. In a recent post on X, Michael Kasper @KasperStats shared the impact of different metrics (stats) on runs scored. It was news to my eyes when I saw good old wOBA right up there with the […]

This far into the season is a fun time to be playing DFS. On a large slate, there is no need to roster a player who is having a bad season or who you have a hunch on. We can find plenty of baseball players who are having great seasons, who have figured out how […]

14 games may equal information overload for some today. Let’s get right into the details keeping in mind ownership will likely be very spread out today, and there are going to be multiple good pathways to take to first place, so let’s plan to stay off the main drags. I imagine at least the Yankees […]

It’s June 24th, everyone, and we have a ton of info as regards this MLB season. In fact, we can pinpoint the best plays and will likely hit on a bunch of those picks. However, not every “best play” will hit, which makes rostering the higher owned “best plays” a losing move in DFS. We […]

Did you know that LHPs on average hold hitters to a below average wRC+ while RHPs allow above average offense. Without factoring in price or ownership, rostering left handed starters would be a better statistical play over time. Most of the lefties today are priced up, but Matthew Liberatore is less than 8k and faces […]

One method for breaking down a slate is to look at each game in the DK app and pinpoint the SPs and offense you want to target. Here are some “first glance” thoughts. TB at BOS: Giolito is generally worse vs. RHBs who get a big park upgrade at Fenway, but TB will roster 6 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
