I went a classic fan duel line up for today. There are plenty of quality match ups out there even if you have a smaller cap to work with. Here is my line up for today. P: Lance McCullers Jr. Astros at White Sox ($8,800): McCullers has been inconsistent thus far but a match up against the lowly White Sox in April is just what the doctor ordered to get…
It’s our first edition of stock watch and while “stock watch” is a generic term in sports, I do think it applies to the performance of players in fantasy sports. Here is a list of four players whose stock is up and four players whose stock is down. Stock Up ⬆️ Sean Manaea, SP, Oakland A’s: Manaea no hit the Red Sox on Saturday night in a dominant performance. With…
There are several intriguing match ups on this weekend’s slate. Here is my line up for tonight and how I spent my $50,000. All values based on draftkings.com values. P: Felix Hernandez, Mariners at Rangers ($6,800): Hernandez has made more starts against the Rangers in his career than any other team. Texas is struggling mightily right now offensively so if there was ever a good time to play King Felix,…
Chase Anderson has a great match up tonight against a weak Marlins line up.

Give me some Yonny Chirinos tonight against the struggling Rangers line up. Going with another classic line up for tonight. Focusing on the 7:05 starts. Here is how I spent my $50,000. P: Patrick Corbin, Diamondbacks vs. Giants ($9,800): The crafty lefty is 2-0 with a 2.46 ERA and 29 K’s on the season. Corbin picked up where he left off last season, which makes him appealing in a match…

It is a one o’clock heavy slate of games today so I decided to play a classic line up. Here is how I spent my $50,000 dollars. I was tempted to overspend on pitching because the match ups are so good but I didn’t. P: Carlos Martinez, Cardinals at Reds ($9,900): I love that Martinez is facing the Reds but I am scared to death that he is pitching at…
