MLB DFS Plays for 6/5/16
Sunday closes the week of baseball with a rare two-game night schedule. Of course, the entire league will be in action, with a few top pitchers highlighting the day. Currently, we are using xFIP and wOBA simply to compare one pitcher’s performance against another – especially against opposite-handed hitters. We aren’t using these numbers for […]

Saturday’s full schedule of baseball begins relatively late, with only one early afternoon game – and it brings a threat of rain, at that. The headliner of the night is, as always, Clayton Kershaw, as he puts his league-leading 1.56 ERA on the line against the Braves. Currently, we are using xFIP and wOBA simply […]

After Thursday night’s run barrage by nearly every team, Friday appears to yield more of the same. More importantly, of the few top pitchers throwing – arguably, there may only be one – the head-to-head matchups are rather poor, yielding more one-sided affairs than usual. Currently, we are using xFIP and wOBA simply to compare […]

A slightly smaller slate of games provides a somewhat imbalanced split between the afternoon and night contests.

Currently, we are using xFIP and wOBA simply to compare one pitcher’s […]

A trio of oddly-scheduled afternoon games prevents a full slate at night, but all thirty teams will be in action again on Tuesday.

In the world of baseball, Memorial Day is considered a milestone. The season is no longer ‘young,’ and teams are beginning to position themselves for a run through the ‘dog days’ of summer. Officially beginning this stretch is a full, thirty-team slate of games on Monday. Currently, we are using xFIP and wOBA simply to […]

Memorial Day Weekend does little to mess with the typical Sunday schedule, as all teams except the Dodgers and Mets will play in the afternoon. With Clayton Kershaw on the mound and a game in Colorado this afternoon, prices are elevated, however, they exist on separate slates. Currently, we are using xFIP and wOBA simply […]
