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.
A few things to note about the night time slate today. First of all, everybody is going to be stacking Coors Field because quite frankly, a lot of DFS players are followers of the same methods that worked for them two years ago. I suggest picking a couple Coors options (cough-Tulo!) and dodging the rest of the crowds. I am also recommending fading Clayton Kershaw tonight which is the one time a year that I will actually say that. Here is the lowdown on Kershaw. He is going against the Diamondbacks at Chase Field which seems great on the surface but has some flaws upon investigation. Chase is the only Ballperk in which Kershaw has 10+ starts in in which he is under .500 (4-6). His ERA there is 3.56 and WHIP is 1.20 both second highest visiting ballparks for him. Now I am not saying that I wouldn't use Kershaw tonight, because I would ALWAYS use Kershaw, just if you want to fit some premium bats in your lineups tonight I would go in another direction on the mound.
I also want to acknowledge that tonight is the first time this season that I am using Kole Calhoun this season but love him hitting in front of Trout and going up against the oil can known as Jeremy Guthrie.
