MLB DFS Plays for 4/16/16
A full day of games on Saturday fit nicely into two separate slates. The morning games include both excellent pitching options and a team worth stacking, while the nightcap features a few studs on the mound. Currently, we are using xFIP and wOBA simply to compare one pitcher’s performance against another – especially against opposite-handed hitters. […]

Friday includes a full slate of games with only a single afternoon contest. Throughout the night, the common thread of each game is how strikingly even many of the matchups appear. From Bumgarner and Kershaw – again – to Zack Greinke and James Shields, balance is found everywhere. In addition, where the scale appears to be tilted, […]

Thursday’s games start a bit earlier than usual, and there are more than enough games to warrant both early and late slate competitions. As it turns out, many of the better pitchers will appear in the first half of the day, while hitters get the edge, at night. With that, there are certainly opportunities to […]

Currently, […]

Saturday includes the first completely filled slate of the season, as all thirty teams will be in action throughout the course of the day. The full slate is highlighted by the always entertaining duel between Madison Bumgarner and Clayton Kershaw – although fantasy owners may be disappointed that only one could win. Currently, we are […]
MLB DFS Plays for 4/8/16
The first Friday of the 2016 season brings the biggest selection to date, as all but two teams are scheduled to play. In addition, some of the “aces” of their respective pitching staffs return to the mound for their second start. Oddly enough, the amount of overall options only yields a few can’t-miss pitchers, which […]
