Going to skip the small talk today and just give you this from Jeff Mans, in case you missed it on Monday for whatever reason and if not it is worth highlighting again:
“Well if you used the Playbook and followed the advice posted on these very pages you would have won some big money last week. Wednesday through Friday alone the Playbook profited over $27,802 (not including tickets, etc). The vast majority of that cash came over on DraftKings where we were able to lock down a golden ticket for Friday night's main event in which we finished just 1 single point away from advancing to the $100,000 round on Saturday. I don't say this as a "look at me" type of thing rather a "DFS Playbook REALLY works" sort of thing. These players are sorted out for you on a daily basis. The hard work is already done and all that separates you from cashing in is the act of forming your lineup with the players listed in the Playbook.”
$27K-plus, now that’s what we are talking about! Hopefully you cashed in on Jeff’s recommendations and let’s continue the cash train with today’s picks.
Remember, if you get caught in a quandary remember if you have a specific question remember you can always tweet @FantasyNomad and/or post in the comments section below. Don’t forget to bookmark the following three sources to check daily as a compliment to our picks of day.

Starting Pitcher Picks of the Night
| Pitcher | Pos. | DraftKings | DraftStreet | FanDuel | Reasons |
| Gerrit Cole | P | $8,900 | $17,978 | $8,600 | He punched out a career-high 10 Cubs back on 4/10 in Chicago so the potential is there for another Big K night. |
| Zack Wheeler | P | $7,600 | $15,223 | $7,000 | I gave you guys Wheeler last Thursday and he was MONEY, well tonight he gets another favorable matchup, so I'm expecting similar results in this start. |
| Henderson Alvarez | P | $6,300 | $11,803 | $6,700 | Game is in Miami where their offense thrives and the Rays are not thriving as the man with the 88mph fastball (Randy Wolf) stuck it to the Rays Monday, which shows you how much Tampa Bay is struggling offensively as they lost their eighth straight game and own the worst record in the American League at 23-35. (Note: Some concern on how far he will go in the game so use him more as a GPP play). |
Discounted Hitter of the Night: Mariners OF Michael Saunders
| Hitter | Pos. | DraftKings | DraftStreet | FanDuel | Reasons |
| Evan Gattis | C | $3,900 | $7,024 | $3,100 | Dude just hits dongs and Mariners SP Ramirez and his career 13.1% HR/FB rate seem to enjoy serving them up. |
| John Jaso | C | $3,500 | $6,660 | $3,100 | LHH Jaso 4-for-10 vs RHP Kuroda in his career and you get that friendly short porch there in Yankee Stadium |
| Adam LaRoche | 1B | $4,200 | $6,705 | $3,300 | Phillies SP David Buchanan blows |
| Michael Morse | 1B/OF | $4,400 | $6,369 | Mashing RHP hitting 141 pts higher than vs LHP at .341 with 7 HR, 7 of 11 HR have come on the road and tonight's game is in homer friendly GABP. | |
| Rougned Odor | 2B | $5,963 | $2,200 | Hitting .381 (8-21) with RISP and get LvsR vs erratic O's RHP Jimenez (If Josh Rutledge finds his way into COL LU he is worth considering too). | |
| Aaron Hill | 2B | $4,300 | $5,418 | $3,100 | Hitting 68 points higher vs LHP at .308 and game is in Coors |
| Kyle Seager | 3B | $3,800 | $6,591 | $3,000 | If you follow me on twitter you would have seen these sexy Seager stats: hitting .405 (15-for-37) with two home runs, three triples, and nine RBI over his last 10 games. |
| Conor Gillaspie | 3B | 4000 | 5970 | 3000 | Get LvsR matchup vs RHP Haren who Gillaspie went 3-for-4 against in their last meeting and Gillaspie is hitting a quiet .343 (47-137) on the year. |
| Xander Bogaerts | SS | 4000 | 6134 | 3800 | Bogaerts is hitting .314 (22-for-70) with two of his four home runs coming while batting second in the order this season and coming off a 2-for-4 game Monday with a home run, two RBI, and a run scored and will face the unimposing LHP Indians SP T.J. House. |
| Jean Segura | SS | $4,000 | $6,244 | $2,800 | Hitting .293 compared vs RHP to just .167 vs LHP, been back atop the Brewers lineup where he is hitting .320 (16-50) on the year |
| Michael Saunders | OF | $3,300 | $214 | $3,400 | Like his teammate Kyle Seager, Saunders has been sizziling: since May 16th (15 gms) is hitting .365 (19-for-52) with 3 HR, two triples, three doubles, 18 RBI, and 11 R. And LHH Saunders is 3-for-9 with a HR in career vs RHP Floyd |
| Michael Cuddyer | OF | $4,900 | $8,164 | $3,400 | All COL bats in play as Vegas has this game with the highest over/under, but Cuddy comes at a slight discount compared to the others and he is hitting .316 (6-19) with 2 SB over last five games |
| Cody Ross | OF | $3,200 | $3,225 | $2,200 | RHH Ross: .344 (11-32) with 2 HR in career vs LHP De La Rosa |
| Coco Crisp | OF | $3,800 | $7,660 | $3,100 | Hitting .348 (8-23) w/ 3 2B, 3 BB to 3 K and a SB over his last six games, all 3 HR have come off RHP and game is in Yankee Stadium. (Cespedes in play too if you want to spend up to get him). |
| Marcell Ozuna | OF | $3,400 | $5,287 | $2,800 | Ozuna's 10 HR tied for 11th most in NL and his 35 RBI ranks ninth. He is hitting 35 points higher vs RHP at .273 with 7 of his 11 HR vs righties and 8 of the 11 coming at home. (LHH teammate Yelich in play too vs RHP Rays SP Archer, but his price tag is quite a bit higher). |
