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.  

These early season slates sure can cause havoc for a poor DFS soul like ourselves. Six games makeup the early slate today while we get nine to select from for the evening contests. If I am being honest here, which I know no other way, I have to admit that I am not that fond of the early slate of games today. While I love Johnny Cueto, Miguel Cabrera and Anthony Gose, I really don't love the other selections today. Now this could work out to our favor as when you have bad choices, the research uncovers players the others would never find. I am hoping that is the case with the early games today. 

Last night the DFS MLB Playbook finished 2nd in the Fantasy Aces FAWBC Qualifier, getting screwed over by the 19th inning David Ortiz HR. So, no ticket for us yet but still a very nice showing to say the least. 

Here is the DFS MLB Playbook for the early set of games on April 11th:
