Welcome to the Playbook for Tuesday, May 16th
 

Welcome to full slate Tuesday around MLB! We are back with your guide to setting winning lineups in DFS contests today. This Playbook features top options both for point production and value. Be sure to mix in some of the values listed below to allow more flexibility in your lineups. As we learned yesterday, starting the two top arms on the slate doesn’t always work out. We always advise against playing just one lineup. Mix it up a bit and try different combinations. If you are playing 1-2 lineups each day, do your best to find single-entry contests. If you play multiple lineups, you’ll want to get into tournaments (GPP) and do your best to strike it rich!

Weather
The Minnesota forecast is a bit murky right now. We think it will be just fine to play and won’t be fading any players (that we wouldn’t have anyway)...stay tuned to the Weather Center for updates throughout the day. Other than that, it looks relatively clear around the slate.
