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.  You can use our formula for your own wanted and given stacks and pitchers.  This process wheels them all in alignment.

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

We Will Give You – Daily

3 – 7 team stacking options ( We are going to draw most of our players from these squads).

3 – 5 Pitching candidates (High level, midlevel and budget). 

If you are looking for daily picks in roster form for DraftKings exclusively, our DK preferred site is dynastydigest.sportsblog.com

If you are looking for more players themselves than stacking options (as oppose to full lineup cards with a lot of advance for both FD/DK, plus the additional website of www.fanpicks.com) – please visit we refer you to dailyrotohelp.com (for player picks all day)

July 24, 2016: All 12 Games on the early Main Slate(We Don’t Advise Playing Coors Field Slates In Either FanDuel or DraftKings for just a few rosters in GPP’s, if you want to avoid the sharps, 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/  There is also an AL only slate available tonight to avoid Coors Field).

Stacking Options  – Todays Rankings

Boston Red Sox vs Tommy Milone

Houston Astros vs Tim Lincecum

Chicago White Sox vs Anibal Sanchez

Cincinnati Reds vs Zack Godley

Chicago Cubs vs Junior Guerra

(While not using the entire rosters, we are also going to be using the Jays and Mariners for some select hitters to round out some rosters.)

5 Pitchers to use

Jon Lester, CHC @ MIL, $10, 200

Rick Porcello, MIN @ BOS, $8600

Jeff Samardzija, SF @ NYY, $8500

Jameson Taillon, PHI @ PIT, $6800

Brandon Finnegan, ARI @ CIN, $6000

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.  All of these wheeled stacks are 3 rosters of the pitchers combined with the offenses.

BOS/CHC ( Jon Lester, Rick Porcello, Jeff Samardzija,  Jameson Taillon, Brandon Finnegan 2 Team stacks x pitchers = 5 rosters)

BOS/CIN ( Jon Lester, Rick Porcello, Jeff Samardzija,  Jameson Taillon, Brandon Finnegan 2 Team stacks x pitchers = 5 rosters)

BOS/HOU( Jon Lester, Rick Porcello, Jeff Samardzija,  Jameson Taillon, Brandon Finnegan 2 Team stacks x pitchers = 5 rosters)

BOS/CWS ( Jon Lester, Rick Porcello, Jeff Samardzija,  Jameson Taillon, Brandon Finnegan 2 Team stacks x pitchers = 5 rosters)

CHC/CIN ( Jon Lester, Rick Porcello, Jeff Samardzija,  Jameson Taillon, Brandon Finnegan 2 Team stacks x pitchers = 5 rosters)

CHC/HOU ( Jon Lester, Rick Porcello, Jeff Samardzija,  Jameson Taillon, Brandon Finnegan2 Team stacks x pitchers = 5 rosters)

CHC/CWS( Jon Lester, Rick Porcello, Jeff Samardzija,  Jameson Taillon, Brandon Finnegan 2 Team stacks x pitchers = 5 rosters)

CIN/HOU( Jon Lester, Rick Porcello, Jeff Samardzija,  Jameson Taillon, Brandon Finnegan 2 Team stacks x pitchers = 5 rosters)

CIN/CWS( Jon Lester, Rick Porcello, Jeff Samardzija,  Jameson Taillon, Brandon Finnegan 2 Team stacks x pitchers = 5 rosters)

CWS/HOU ( Jon Lester, Rick Porcello, Jeff Samardzija,  Jameson Taillon, Brandon Finnegan 2 Team stacks x pitchers = 5 rosters)

These are just 5 of the 50 Lineups we will construct for the night (5 team stacks wheeled x 5 pitchers, in the end, each of the 5 teams will have 20 STACKED rosters, so each player will be listed a lot of ( 6 – 9) 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).  Should you choose to use your own stacks it is easy to workout the wheeled stacks. Take the 1st team you ranked for a stack, and write all of the teams with it.  Once you have completed that, you take  the team to the right in the 1st stack, and run down the right side for all the clubs underneath in the lines.  Each time you complete one club, you go down one line to the far right to follow the same template, until you hit your final two clubs.  Each wheeled 2 team stack will have all pitchers you are going to roster to be combined with it.  We like to use 3, 5, 7 or 9 team stacks.   By using and odd amount of  stacks you guarantee a W – L record as oppose to having the chance to be equally right and wrong.
