One of the biggest blunders made by many gamblers is betting against themselves.  We are going to simplify the process, so if you win, you can really win – none of this barely break even nonsense.

Our new Draft Strategy is now here.  Please read after the post.

Now here is what we are going to do for today’s MLB DFS FanDuel style.

We Will Give You – Daily

3 – 5 team stacking options ( We are going to draw most of our players from these 3 – 5 squads).

3 Pitching candidates (High level, midlevel and budget).

July 2, 2016: All 8 Main Games ON THE SAT NIGHT SLATE (We are not big fans of playing early contests ever, please visit dailyrotohelp.com for picks all day long, or scout.com)

(If you want to avoid the sharps with DFS, please head to www.fanpicks.com – and use the PROMO CODE: HELP25  – to start playing against normal players that are just looking to play a few dollars)

Stacking Options  – Todays Rankings

Chicago Cubs vs Bartolo Colon . (Everybody’s loveable big man has been absolutely torched by Ben Zobrist, who owns 4 HRs and 8 hits in 17 Career ABs vs the METS RHP.  He has down pretty good against the rest of the fleet (other than Jason Heyward), but it is all a small sample size.  If you don’t stack them, make sure you at least play those 2 in a mini stack.

Boston Red Sox vs Hector Santiago  (When is it ever bad to stack the Red Sox at home, NEVER!!

Dodgers vs Chad Bettis. Los Angeles is an awesome pick for a stack because no one ever seems to own them in daily DFS. Also because Bettis is just not a great pitcher.

Pitchers

This is simple economics.  Ross vs the hapless Reds who are 24 – 52 in their last 76 Games, and he can totally nullify the LHB of Jay Bruce, and Joey Votto.

I absolutely hate all of the top priced pitchers.  Jake Arrieta has not been the same for about a month, and is usually at 100 pitches after 5 IP.  Jeff Samardzija is overpriced, and frankly being in Chase Field does not instill a lot of confidence.

Drew Pomeranz in almost at a career high for innings – and is due for a big letdown. Rich Hill is coming off the DL, and that is always a scary maneuver to play him

I am all over the high chalk stacks, and looking to hit on a GPP value play with Nova or Kuhl.  The Padres are abysmal vs RHP and the A’s crush LHP almost better than anyone, but I suspect they may struggle against Kuhl (who registered a decent 33 FPP in his 1st start.  Bang for the the buck there.)

Joe Ross, CIN @ WSH, $8400

Ivan Nova, NYY @ SD, $6700

Chad Kuhl, PIT @ OAK, $6100

Team Stacks will most likely have 3 – 4 players on each club and is preferred if they are in order of the batting lineup.  In some case ministacks of 2 – with them back to back in the Batting Order can be used in expensive player picks.

CHC/BOS (Ross, Nova, Kuhl = 3 Rosters)

CHC/LAD (Ross, Nova, Kuhl = 3 Rosters)

LAD/BOS (Ross, Nova, Kuhl = 3 Rosters)

These are just 3 of the 9 Lineups we will construct for the night (3 team stacks wheeled x 3 pitchers, in the end, each of the 3 teams will have  6 rosters, so each player will be listed a lot of 3 – 4 times each.  If you like the conventional way of selecting players. we refer you to dailyrotohelp.com (our partner website for a great list of player to select from, that isn’t exclusive to team stacks).
