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 26, 2016: All 15 Games on the Main Slate ( 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).

I am not going to get into this too much with 150 rosters to fill out as it is pretty self explanatory that I am taking a run at some veteran SPs with the 1st 4 rankings = that have seen better days and could be lit up.  Shields has pitched better but the Cubs offense should wreck that.  The Orioles rarely go 2 games consecutive without plating at least 5 runs.  Jays are the same.  The M’s hit LHP well, and Liriano is a baserunners creator for the opposition.  The Rays should blast around Norris.

Stacking Options  – Todays Rankings (9)

Boston Red Sox vs Mike Pelfrey,

Houston Astros vs CC Sabathia.

Arizona D’Backs vs Matt Garza,

Milwaukee Brewers vs Patrick Corbin,

Baltimore Orioles vs Chad Bettis,

Chicago Cubs vs James Shields,

Toronto Blue Jays vs Andrew Cashner,

Seattle Mariners vs Francisco Liriano,

Tampa Bay Rays vs Bud Norris.

4 Pitchers to use

Steven Wright, DET @ BOS, $9700 (Tigers struggle vs Knuckleballers)

Kyle Hendricks. CHC @ CWS, $9200 (White Sox with 2 games in a row with an offensive output…probably not.)

Marcus Stroman. SD @ TOR, $7400 (SD is all or nothing as Monday night demonstrated, and were scoring above their head in July anyway.)

Ervin Santana, ATL @ MIN, $7100 (braves still have an anemic offense and Santana has pitched quite well lately. Need the value to play the big bats here).

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.

These are just 5 of the 150 Lineups we will construct for the night (9 team stacks wheeled x 4 pitchers, in the end, each of the clubs will have 42 STACKED rosters, so each player will be listed a lot of ( 16 – 19) 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.
