Top Drivers Justin Allgaier ($10,800), Starting on the Pole Allgaier will be on the pole for the first time in his career at Kansas and the second time this season. In 13 career races at Kansas Allgaier has four top-five’s and an average finish of 10th. He showed great speed in practie and obviously qualifying […]
Ole Miss vs Tulane For a long time now in CFB DFS, we find that the 3:30 window is the money spot for game stacks, and that’s very true today as this one is in the 3:30 window compared to the ‘hype’ game listed below which is at High Noon. The best QB on the […]
A happy Friday to each and all of you. It’s a nice TestiFriday as the D’Backs/Cubs start things off this afternoon before a solid 11 game MAIN DFS slate tonight. My top options today: Kyle Bradish (DK: $9200, FD: $10500) … Imagine using Kyle Harrison instead of Kyle Bradish tonight. Don’t fall for that lame trap. The Red Sox are middle of the road vs Sliders & Bradish+Adley combination has been the best SP/C duo in Baseball the second half this year. Lock and load. Blake Snell (DK: $10,800, FD: $10,600) … In a fairly good matchup it’s Snell who I oddly trust against Houston as a contrarian arm. Snell is really solid vs the two LH power bats for Houston and should continue his march towards competing for the NL Cy Young. He will also get a boost from Tatis big game. Luis Severino (DK: $5500) … Don’t care. The Brewers are worth taking a shot with Sevy to get one of those high end games with today. Top games/teams today: I would rather go the one off route tonight, but here are a few options … Mets (Alonso, Alvarez, Lindor) … Keuchel back on the bump, the Mets are hitting well and Alonso stands alone at a weak 1B tonight. Royals (Witt, Velasquez, Perez) … C’Mon. You didn’t honestly not expect the Royals to be here against Kikuchi, right? Orioles (Santander, Rutschman, Henderson) CATCHER Salvador Perez Mitch Garver Martin Maldanado FIRST BASE Pete Alonso Josh Naylor Vladimir Guerrero Jr. SECOND BASE Mookie is so damn expensive, Albies is even a little inflated too, and Altuve despite facing a lefty isn’t worth the 6200 here either. Gleyber Torres Jake Alu Brendan Rodgers THIRD BASE Austin Riley Jose Ramirez SHORTSTOP Bobby Witt Jr Francisco Lindor Corey Seager OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore Bryan Reynolds Fernando Tatis Jr Anthony Santander Brandon Nimmo OUTFIELD – Value Nelson Velazquez / Edward Olivares Bobby Witt Jr – SS – Royals – Chairman of The Dongers Club Fernando Tatis Jr – OF – Padres Bryan Reynolds – OF – Pirates Salvador Perez – C – Royals Austin Riley – 3B – Braves
Top Drivers Grant Enfinger ($10,300) Enfinger won here earlier this season and led 65 laps in the process in a race the he started off 11th. With qualifying still yet to be determined, it’s clear that Enfinger can maneuver his way around this track. Although that was his first win at Kansas in a truck, […]
My top options today: Luis Castillo Max Fried … Wont’ be as dominant as his outing in LA, but the price is too good to pass up. I expect a lot of grounders tonight. Cal Quantrill … This is a game which I don’t see stacking up but also dont love the pitching. For value options though both Quantrill and Canning can be used. Top games/teams today: Really like the Cubs going into Chase Field tonight. Ball has been carrying there and supposedly it is tied to the fact that the stadium is falling apart and just cannot stay cool anymore — or so the complaints from the D’Backs pitchers. Expect some good offense here from two hot teams. Braves versus Waino probably popular tonight, but we know the drill on Atlanta. One pay up and then one cheap guy. Pay up tonight is Austin Riley. Cubs / Diamondbacks Yankees Dodgers CATCHER Will Smith Yan Gomes FIRST BASE Josh Naylor DJ LeMahieu SECOND BASE Gleyber Torres Ketel Marte THIRD BASE Austin Riley Jeimer Candelario SHORTSTOP Dansby Swanson Anthony Volpe OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore Teoscar Hernandez … The king of all one offs tonight in Tampa. Eddie Rosario Kerry Carpenter Seiya Suzuki Teoscar Hernandez – OF – Mariners – Chairman of The Dongers Club Seiya Suzuki – OF – Cubs
NOTE: All pricing references pertain to DraftKings Showdown Strategy When Showdown slates first became available I was not a big fan simply because I don’t often like change. When these slates were designed we hadn’t ever seen anything like them in the DFS world. Come to realize a few years later I really enjoy them. […]
My top options today: A very fun game to watch tonight as Verlander & Scherzer will face off in a big Texas/Houston game. Wild to think that these two were together with the Mets not that long ago. Just a fun Baseball game, but neither is worth buying tonight IMO. Kyle Gibson (DK: $8300, FD: $8600) Clarke Schmidt (DK: $7100, FD: $8800) Matt Manning (DK: $6700) Top games/teams today: Nationals … (Ruiz, Blankenhorn, Abrams) Braves … (Olson, Rosario) Orioles Rangers CATCHER Keibert Ruiz Mitch Garver Korey Lee FIRST BASE Matt Olson Pete Alonso Nathaniel Lowe SECOND BASE Ozzie Albies Michael Massey Jordan Westburg THIRD BASE Mark Vientos (Dirt Cheap for paying up for Strider) Alex Bregman Yoan Moncada SHORTSTOP Francisco Lindor Corey Seager Bobby Witt Jr. OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore Brandin Nimmo Eddie Rosario Yordan Alvarez MJ Melendez VALUE Travis Blankenhorn Jasson Dominguez Matt Olson – 1B – Braves – Chairman of The Dongers Club Eddie Rosario – OF – Braves
My top options today: Looks like Bailey Falter will be the bulk guy for the Pirates today, it was originally going to be Mitch Keller who I preferred. Freddy Peralta Hyun-Jin Ryu Top games/teams today: Weather could be a big factor in Wrigley. Warm & windy… We also finally get to load up on Twins in Cleveland, although the matchup isn’t the best. Chicago Cubs / SF Giants Minnesota Arizona CATCHER Yan Gomes Gabriel Moreno FIRST BASE Christian Walker JD Davis SECOND BASE Jorge Polanco Brendan Rodgers THIRD BASE Jeimer Candelario Manny Machado SHORTSTOP Dansby Swanson Paul DeJong OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore Max Kepler Austin Slater Charlie Blackmon Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Max Kepler – OF – Twins – Chairman of The Dongers Club
My top options today: Chris Bassitt (DK: $9700, FD: $9300)… Returns to Oakland and Bassitt in a big stadium is about as reliable as they come. Brandon Pfaadt – Value Reid Detmers AVOID Brady Singer … KC has said they are dialing his usage back and that’s why they skipped his last start. I think there is too much risk here even though he’s facing a dead team. Top games/teams today: Arizona Diamondbacks (Gurriel, Pham, Walker, Marte) … Very affordable, so could fit them in with G.Cole as well if you get creative. Gurriel/Walker are the keys for HR upside. NY Yankees (Dominguez, Torres) St. Louis Cardinals (Goldschmit, Contreras, Arenado) CATCHER Willson Contreras Francisco Alvarez Salvador Perez FIRST BASE Pete Alonso Christian Walker Matt Olson SECOND BASE Ketel Marte Michael Massey Gleyber Torres THIRD BASE Ryan McMahon Alec Bohm Nolan Arenado SHORTSTOP Bobby Witt Jr Jeremy Pena Francisco Lindor OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore Lourdes Gurriel Jr Jasson Dominguez Anthony Santander Kyle Tucker Jasson Dominguez – OF – NY Yankees – Chairman of The Dongers Club Lourdes Gurriel JR – OF – Arizona Christian Walker – 1B – Arizona
WEATHER SF @ CHC: Hot and wind blowing out to LF CWS @ KC: Hot and wind blowing out to LF COL @ ARI: Assume roof will remain closed My top options today: Cole Ragans (DK: $7200, FD: $9000) … August pitcher of the month was a Royal. Damn straight I am firing up the Ragans train here vs Chicago. The heat and wind does lend one to think that there could be a HR from the White Sox RHH but considering Eloy/Robert are both trying hard to get placed on the season ending IL list, Tim Anderson sucks, Jake Burger is gone then what are we worried about here — Trayce Thompson hitting a homer? Big deal… Fire away Ragans. Merrill Kelly (DK: $9300, FD: $10.3k) … MK is great at home usually and the Rockies are obviously not a great road hitting team even though historically they have hit well in Chase Field as an organization no matter who is there. But this isn’t an easy pitching slate so I will take Kelly to bounce back after a rough game in Dodger Stadium and be closer to the 18-24 DK point range. GUT CALL Jose Berrios (DK: $8800, FD: $10.1k) … Coming out of Coors, the Jays could use Berrios to give them some length today and quickly get this one over with. Oakland actually has a drastic .315 BA and a low 17% strikeout rate vs RHH over the last week & they hit curves well. So I don’t think Berrios has a smash game, but he will do ‘fine’ Top games/teams today: Mariners (Suarez, Hernandez, Raleigh) … They go into a tiny park on a warm weather day with a bullpen scenario from Cincinnati. If Seattle disappoints then we just take that L, but I do not see that happening. Houston (McCormick, Bregman) … You can’t be a LHP that the Astros know and just fire 4-seamers at them all game. Good luck to Heaney who will get torched if his off-speed is bad. CATCHER Cal Raleigh Patrick Bailey Mitch Garver FIRST BASE Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Christian Walker Wilmer Flores SECOND BASE Marcus Semien Michael Massey Ketel Marte THIRD BASE Couple guys going back into their old stomping grounds today. Chapman in Oakland and Suarez in Cincinnati. Major upside for Suarez over Chapman in that debate. Eugenio Suarez Alex […]
