Game Theory In the two meetings last season the Chiefs put up 48 (48-9) and 41 (41-14) points on the Raiders. Obviously we have some changes mostly on the Chiefs offense with Tyreek Hill being gone, but there is no denying that Mahomes has had his way generally against the Raiders. This will be just […]
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. […]
Stacks That I Have My Eye On Below I’ll break down the particular stacks I’m interested and delve into it based on matchup, ability, predicted game script, and collective salary while picking an opposing player or two to run that stack back with if appropriate. *Note: All pricing is DraftKings focused Tampa Bay Buccaneers […]
Welcome to the Week 5 edition of The Ambush, which has been about as productive as I could ask for through the first Quarter of the season. BYE weeks are quickly approaching, as are larger spreads on games and the likelihood that we see ‘stacks’ pay off more in NFL DFS. NOTABLE INJURY UPDATES Kyle […]

WEATHER No issues and some great fall weather. [spacer height=”10px”] TODAY’S MATCHUPS Yesterday’s winners in BOLD Rays (Glasnow) at Guardians (McKenzie) Phillies (Nola) at Cardinals (Mikolas) Mariners (Ray) at Blue Jays (Gausman) Padres (Snell) at Mets (deGrom) [spacer height=”10px”] BEST OPTIONS Jacob deGrom … Yeah, I’ll bite here. I am sticking with my feeling that the Mets will manage to get through this series and the one thing with deGrom is that he is highly unlikely to get the homer yips that Max had yesterday and I don’t see San Diego getting offense going outside of the long ball. Miles Mikolas … Mikolas is just as much of a dark horse as Gausman but the slightly preferred one. Philly got their offense late thanks to mistakes by the Cardinals and putting together a big inning in a pressure spot. Mikolas will have to give them a solid QS here today and I dont see why he wont. DARK HORSE Kevin Gausman … The Jays are going to win today, they will put up some offense against Ray and if Gausman can be good for just 5 innings he will no doubt destroy a cheap tag on DK. I bet he is < 10% on FanDuel today too which is tempting. [spacer height=”10px”] CORE TEAMS Guardians … I have Cleveland winning again. They are great at home and the lineup just is built for winning in the playoffs. Blue Jays … Jays on a home Saturday game in the playoffs and it’s an elimination game? Lets just all enjoy the Vlad homer okay. Mets … Atmosphere and backs against the wall aside, Blake Snell is probably going to get to the 5th inning and have some bad flashbacks. This is the Mets putting up some runs in the 6th/7th/8th. spacer height=”10px”] CATCHER Yadier Molina Christian Bethancourt [spacer height=”10px”] FIRST BASE Vladimir Guerrero Jr Paul Goldschmidt Rhys Hoskins [spacer height=”10px”] SECOND BASE Andres Gimenez Whit Merrifield [spacer height=”10px”] THIRD BASE Yandy Diaz Matt Chapman Eugenio Suarez [spacer height=”10px”] SHORTSTOP Francisco Lindor Wander Franco [spacer height=”10px”] OUTFIELD – Mt.

If you are a Baseball fan or just a Sports fan in general then today is without a doubt one of the best days of the year. I don’t care what other things you have going on in your life and I don’t care what work or family things you will be doing today. Or maybe you are just sitting around in your boxers wondering how the October bugs manage to find their way through the window cracks every year. Doesn’t matter. Today is about Baseball. This is the day that used to be when we had four Divisional Round series kicking off and now with the new format it serves as more of an opening day for the playoffs. Guess what… I love it. Yep. For all the bitching and moaning we did way back in March, to be here with this format I am actually very pleased at what we are going to get. Four rounds which are the best of three played in the home teams stadium and playoff atmospheres in New York, Toronto, St. Louis and Cleveland? Sign. Me. Up. [spacer height=”10px”] WEATHER Wind is coming into play today with wind blowing in at Cleveland and New York and a cross wind in St. Louis [spacer height=”10px”] In a way the FanDuel pricing is kinda nice in that it’s all basically the same. But in another way its kind of stupid because where is the decision making when the range is 9200 to 10.8? DraftKings is uh, baiting us to take a couple guys today. MAX SCHERZER DraftKings: $9,800, FanDuel: $10,600 Playoff Max is going to go to another level with the Citi Field crowd behind him. The Padres are a dangerous team if they can get hot but they also run into a very difficult 1-2 spot going into New York needing to win two. Look for a lower scoring series as the Mets bats aren’t quite ready to shine without Starling Marte and so Max will need to go long and strong or deep and hard or whatever perverted analogy you want because he’s gonna fuck the Padres. ALEK MANOAH DraftKings: $6,800, FanDuel: $10,800 This is gonna be a series we wish was 7 games so that we could play in both cities and I always feel that a young team is kinda sneaky in the playoffs given their care free attitude. The Mariners […]
