MLB DFS: Matt Dulcan’s All the $$$ Stack of the Day
This is a stack that will carry the multi home run upside needed to give you a shot to take down a GPP, and will typically not be the chalk offensive team of the day. The Victims: Lefty Adam Morgan and the Philadelphia Bullpen Adam Morgan is the exact type of pitcher that we like […]
MLB DFS Game Theory for 4/11/16
In this article I’m going to look at the slate as a whole from a game theory perspective, rather than try to figure out which hitters have exactly the best matchup. Both are important, but there are a lot of resources out there that analyze matchups, but few that approach DFS from the perspective of […]
MLB DFS Plays for 4/7/16
Break out the bats. With a lighter schedule of games and most of the ‘aces’ of each staff already behind us, Thursday’s matchups heavily favor the hitters.

Harvey’s separation is not only the […]
