I realize that there is a short card on tap for tonight in Daily Fantasy Baseball but these are great opportunities to take advantage of satellite event overlay. Many folks don’t play in the “early” or “late” game segments that many DFS sites offer. I am not exactly sure why this is other than they want a larger selection of players. But to me if you know what you’re doing then you should be able to best the others even if it was a one game competition.
With this in mind here are a couple of my late game lineups for Thursday. I am especially interested in the qualifiers for Draftstreet’s $100,000 Big Score on Friday. You can qualify today for $2, $5 or $11 bucks today. In the Big Score the top 750 get paid and there is (obviously) a $100K prize pool with $20K first prize.
Here is my best Draftstreet lineup for the Big Score qualifier:
P1 – Chris Archer - $12,950
P2 – Ivan Nova - $16,080
P3 – Roenis Elias - $11,499
C - Matt Wieters - $6,070
1B – Mike Napoli $5,460
2B – Dustin Pedroia – 7,706
3B – Will Middlebrooks - $5,905
SS – Jed Lowrie - $6,064
OF1 – Yoenis Cespedes - $8,216
OF2 – Nelson Cruz - $6,527
OF3 – Desmond Jennings $5,967
Utility – Chris Davis $6,650 (Pure upside play, not really loving today)
I am also showing some love today for the folks over at Fantasy Feud. They have their Friday Night $5K game going off and as of this writing there is some nice overlay in their qualifier. In addition to the satellite I am also rolling in a couple 50/50’s on Feud tonight. Here is my best double up lineup:
SP1 – Chris Archer $85,600
SP2 – Ivan Nova $112,000
SP3 – Brandon Morrow - $53,400 (So cheap I had to make this play!)
C – Matt Wieters - $56,800
1B – Mike Napoli - $80,700
2B – Dustin Pedroia - $81,300 (Starting to look familiar right?)
3B – Kyle Seager - $68,200
SS – Jed Lowrie - $66,800
OF1 – Yoenis Cespedes - $66,100
OF2 – Matt Joyce - $69,900
OF3 – Adam Jones $82,200
Utility1 – Desmond Jennings - $81,300
Utility2 – Dexter Fowler - $68,600
