We are ignoring the three early games today as there isn't enough there to create any sort of formidable advantage in DFS. So, we will concentrate on the 12 game evening slate and boy do we have our work cut out for us here. Chris Sale is coming off his worst performance as a pro and facign one of the toughest lineups in MLB and he is the only plus pitcher on the board tonight. Let's take a spin through the Playbook and see just who are the premium plays for Wednesday's night slate.
As I mentioned in the rankings, I absolutely hate the pitching for tonight. Sale is struggling and going against some high end RH hitters. I plan on having little of him today and instead concentrate on getting the best bats possible in my lineups. I absolutely love the 1B position tonight as as many as nine players have graded out as "elite" starts tonight. I am favoring David Ortiz though as he always seems to be under owned across the industry night after night. As always, I will be adding in some value plays as the lineups are announced this afternoon.
