Playing early games. Hammel and price and stacks of DET and CHC which I'm sure everyone else will do too
Scherzer. Washington is more favored than Cleveland and Philadelphia strikes out at a higher rate than Minnesota.
Had a job interview all day so I entered a couple late $1 50/50s and a GPP and cashed in them with a lineup I put together in a few mins before the deadline. Gonzalez, Kendrick and Kershaw Spoiler I won a whole $12
I entered a couple late night gpp and 50/50 with a lineuo I put together in two minutes too. I won a whole 23 bucks! I cashed in all thee slates I played in on DK yesterday. Ofer on FD. Bank roll gone on FD and don't think I'll deposit again until maybe NFL
so i played the early slate today and instead of using sale, sanchez, or zimmerman i used salazar 8 ks through 3 innings
honestly if the pitcher is decent, i might pick them against the twins every game this year it's been my go to recently and it's paying off
I check into this thread every now and then and it seems like there is a pretty solid group that does this night in night out. I bet baseball every night so I'm thinking about getting in on some daily fantasy. Do ya'll actually make some money doing this or is it more for fun?
i've probably made $600-700 this year between both sites. i also almost exclusively play small money 50/50s. lot of time spent for such a small profit but i enjoy it
It's a lot of fun and I would spend $25 and play the beginner 50/50s on DK to get a feel for how it goes. Edit: I play DK exclusively for really no reason, but I do like and have heard others who like it for baseball because you can change out players up to the first pitch and you can't do this on FD.
Playing a couple of cheap 50/50s tonight with King Felix and Chris Heston as my pitchers and a dose of Dodger and Seattle lefties.
Don't play gpps for a while unless you want to feel bad about yourself. I remember when I first started, I played a baseball gpp last year with 30+ thousand entries. I finished like 29,500 and I thought about just saying fuck it and withdrawing my money.
bstaple12 go here and find the daily baseball thread. http://i.reddit.com/r/dfsports Lots of good info and links on batter vs pitcher, line ups, weather, etc. Rotogrinders has some good articles on getting started. If you are on DK make sure to play beginner comps until you can't.
Played basketball and baseball tonight. Cashed in every 50/50. Basketball is so much easier now since baseball started. I finished close to the top of my 50/50s
Had Daniel Norris and a stack of Blue Jays in my one tourney lineup I did today....Should have listened
Didn't have much time this am to research and wasn't too confident in what I put together, but I'm rolling with Shane Greene, Harvey and a bunch of Angels and a couple Indians. Anybody like anything for the late games?
Whether it's regression or the blister, Iwakuma has to show me something first. Good matchup though. Was going with Burnett, but might rain. Idk now, prob go with whomever Vegas says has the best chance of getting a W. The projection system i use and DK's prices on LH Rockies bats has me confused. Neither think that highly of them. It'll be the obvious stack and it fits pretty easily. Despaigne isn't great, but they've got a good bullpen. But the RH Rockies are priced up. Is weird. Canceled FC... it's really not that good compared to other sites/projections.
I have iwakuma and a few seattle hitters and Detroit hitters. Have Blackmon, Santana, and norris also.
Catcher likely hitting in the 2 hole at Coors vs a pitcher who has trouble against Righties, sign me up (and everybody else).
I was gonna roll with volquez and arrieta Quick questions. Good website where I can easily see who throws/bats R or L? Baseball ref best bet or something else out there im not familiar with?
I use ESPN.com and had this tab still open for the Padres: http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/roster/_/name/sd
dailybaseballdata.com go to daily batter vs pitcher and it will show everyone from the day who has at least had an at bat against the pitcher they are going against today and which hand the batter and pitcher are.
If the Cubs-Pirates game is looking like it may be rained out then I was going to go with Volquez. May end up anyways as he is very likely to get a win and those four points are key.
Also here is a good daily BvP link http://fantasyteamadvice.com/catego...ts-batter-vs-pitcher-data-fanduel-draftkings/
