Welcome to the Playbook for Monday, April 24th
 

It’s hard to believe that we’re entering the fourth week of the season. Time flies when you are having fun. Hopefully everybody is enjoying the new DFS MLB Playbook PRO here at Fantasy Alarm as much as our team is having bringing it to you. Honestly, it is an exhausting process that we go through to try to identify different plays for you each day. We like to give you options, explain those options and then allow you to go out and set your lineups the way YOU want to. There are so many tools here to take advantage of each day. The hitting and pitching coach dashboard with notes; the lineup optimizer; daily projections, our all new weather page, which you must check out. And, of course, the Playbook itself.
 

This fourth week, we start with a quiet nine-gamer evening-only slate on Monday. This is a good thing. It allows us to chew up and digest what happened over a busy last week and really delve into the plays for today. Let’s get after it.

Weather

This Baltimore weather is going to give us a headache and while we’ve profiled a good number of players from that game, it appears there is a delay/PPD risk here. Stay tuned closely to the new weather center here at Fantasy Alarm for updates and stay on top of it!
