Do you want to learn how to swim away from the sharks? Play daily fantasy baseball over on Fantasy Aces and you’ll be able to start out, learn and win big money in a much more laid back atmosphere where each contest isn’t full of people who play DFS for a living. 

Alright, so you cannot be perfect every night, right? Let's face it, yesterday was a disaster all around. Sure, I made it to day #3 of the Fantasy Aces Survivor Tournament and cashed a couple of double ups on Aces & Fanduel but Mat Latos was an absolute disgrace that doomed several of my lineups before I even ate dinner. I know some of you used Latos as well and for that I apologize. But, I blame the Chicago Cubs who cancelled a game for literally no reason yesterday other than their ballpark is a construction nightmare. This caused the Playbook to pivot from Lance Lynn to Latos which sunk our battleship. 

Anyways, onward and upward as they say on the high sea. Today we have a beautiful slate of 13 games to cover (excluding the two day games) and a ton of great matchups and value plays to sort through. 

Let's take a look at the DFS MLB Playbook for Wednesday April 8th:
