Welcome to the Playbook for Monday, May 8th
Has the Yankees/Cubs marathon ended yet? Are they done striking out? That was something else. Anyway, we’re on to a new week and a new DFS slate is upon us. We have a 10-game all evening slate starting at 7:05 PM EST. So, as the Tigers search for a new closer and/or try to find the old K-Rod, we’ll come up with the best plays for today’s MLB DFS action.
