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.
We have our first Coors Field game in the early slate of games. These games are always heavily targeted in cash games (50/50's). The pitching for the entire day is weak across the board. Collin McHugh & Derek Holland are the two best options and they will face each other in Texas. The players in Coors Field will be much tougher to fit in on Draftkings where the increased scoring is really built into the pricing. Hopefully the weather cooperates as it has caused some havic in the playbook picks. I will update the selections as needed when more lineup and weather information becomes available. I know I recommended fading the Tigers/Twins game but that backfired as Greene, Gose and Martinez all were very productive. It was a bad break but I always prefer to error on the side of caution with the weather looking that bad. Most games don't wait 3 1/2 hours to be played. Feel free to post any questions in the comment section or hit me up on twitter @tedschuster.
