I’ve been a pushover for most of the first half. I’ve let you all think I’m an easy mark in the daily game. I’m not. I think I’ve sufficiently lulled you all into believing that you can easily take me down. That stops today. No more shrinking in the corner. No more dipping just a toe in the water. I’m here to win, to ruin your Friday, and to make sure that your holiday weekend starts out with a thud (shocker I'm single since I'm trying to ruin the biggest family weekend of the summer). Fantasy Aces provides the avenue/opportunity. I will provide the soul crushing defeat you’re looking for.

You want to wipe that smug smile off my face? Give it a shot and take me on today, Friday, July 3rd.

And finally, we at Fantasy Alarm will even give you hints at how to beat me (pretty sure it won't help you, but it's there). Hell, I'll even show you my best options in teh daily game. DFS Playbook Pro. I do the daily breakdown of the hitters – Hitting Coach – while Howard Bender looks into the Pitchers (Pitching Coach).
