Tonight I am all about punching my ticket for the DraftKings Fantasy Baseball Championship. The sixth qualifier runs tonight and I have two of the 75 possible entries locked in and ready to go. Thus I am making things real simpel tonight and only inculding values for DraftKings and Fanduel.
If you are playing against me in this then I strongly suggest you stop reading right now because what follows will blow your mind. For the rest of you who are just trying to win your double ups and make some easy cash tonight I present to you the Daily Fantasy Baseball Playbook for Saturday April 26th. If you have questions, comments or strategies you wish to discuss leave your comments below or feel free to Tweet me @Jeff_Mans.
