SLATE INTRODUCTION I saw once again some people who remain ignorant about choosing the right contests and thus did not find themselves in a good spot. Then I see good members who are talking between each other about proper contest selection and joining into smaller contests where they are not sweating every single play on the board and doing just fine against any “known” user that you can think of in the DFS world. You could have a very good night last night even without the stellar no hitter by Lucas Giolito. Yes, the Gerrit Cole and Yankee/Brave PPD was a major boost for those who didn’t have him (like us) and I won’t say that the positive results from last night didn’t get helped tremendously by that. But even with a Paddack as an SP2 on DK I was able to return a positive result and you know what, that’s 80% of DFS slates. Just getting positive results is far better and far more important than the once in a month win that is 10x where you can screenshot it. We have folks who have boosted up into the $300 per night range in their contests simply by using good contest selection to become a better DFS player. It’s a combination of choosing GOOD contests, accepting 5x as a great win and understanding that you don’t need to play lineups with random 5 man Seattle Mariner stacks just to get CUTE because someone who isn’t helping anyone win wrote them up as a Tier 3 stack for that day and thought they just cured COVID. FanDuel. My FanDuel…. They have actually included the Blue Jays home game today on the Main slate. Who knows actually why they did this, and lets assume it doesn’t happen again but I love it and the slate locks at 6:37 on FanDuel where as DK locks at 7PM. DraftKings posted their slate before the Yankee game was PPD last night so they have Yankees/Braves players on their main slate but they WILL NOT count — so dont use them!! WEATHER Boston at Toronto … Nevermind what I said above. It appears everything FanDuel touches turns to shit these days as the weather looks terrible in Buffalo. I’m doing my breakdown earlier than usual today and won’t have a chance to update but this looks less than good right now. With the 7 inning double header…...
