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)

Tuesday Aug 2, 2016 Main Slate (15 Games) ( if you want to avoid the sharps – especially with Coors Field, 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.  Again for picks all day long hit up dailyrotohelp.com).

Stacking Options  – Todays Rankings

Boston Red Sox vs Wade LeBlanc (This guy is due for a massive ER night, and Boston is just the team to administer it.)

Cleveland vs Kyle Gibson.  (Even in a loss last night, the Tribe still plated 5 runs.  They are at home, and they are good at Progressive Field.  They also have great BVP numbers against him.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs Jon Gray (Despite actually logging half decent numbers at Coors Field, the Dodgers have good BVP numbers against him, plus they also are good versus RHP in general

Colorado Rockies vs Brandon McCarthy (The Dodgers chucker has been pretty good so far, however the Rockies have won 8 out of 10 – and the offense is starting to gel again just in time for a homestand.

Washington Nationals vs Robbie Ray ( Those Nats just love to hit at Chase Field.)

3 Pitchers to use

Madison Bumgarner. SF @ PHI,  $11, 800 (MadBum is due for a stellar game that he is unhittbale in.  He owns good numbers vs the Phillies, who should retreat a lot in the 2nd half of this year.  Philadelphia has cooled off over the last 6 weeks as well.)

Matt Shoemaker, OAK @ LAA, $8500 (This is a fantastic price for a guy I am surprised is still with the Halo’s.  Oakland dealt away a few players and they struggle against RHP.  He has only yielded 1 ER in 12 IP versus the A’s this year.)

Zach Davies, MIL @ SD, $7900 (He has great BVP numbers vs the Pods, a club in which no longer has Melvin Upton Jr. and Matt Kemp on  it.  Don’t underestimate that fact.  San Diego may turn in one of the worst second parts of the campaign for losses.  Plus you have to pay for ats)

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/CLE (Madison Bumgarner.Matt Shoemaker,  Matt Shoemaker, 2 Team Stacks + Pitchers = 3 Rosters)

BOS/WSH (Madison Bumgarner.Matt Shoemaker,  Matt Shoemaker, 2 Team Stacks + Pitchers = 3 Rosters)

BOS/LAD (Madison Bumgarner.Matt Shoemaker,  Matt Shoemaker, 2 Team Stacks + Pitchers = 3 Rosters)

BOS/COL (Madison Bumgarner.Matt Shoemaker,  Matt Shoemaker, 2 Team Stacks + Pitchers = 3 Rosters)

CLE/WSH (Madison Bumgarner.Matt Shoemaker,  Matt Shoemaker, 2 Team Stacks + Pitchers = 3 Rosters)

CLE/LAD (Madison Bumgarner.Matt Shoemaker,  Matt Shoemaker, 2 Team Stacks + Pitchers = 3 Rosters)

CLE/COL (Madison Bumgarner.Matt Shoemaker,  Matt Shoemaker, 2 Team Stacks + Pitchers = 3 Rosters)

LAD/COL (Madison Bumgarner.Matt Shoemaker,  Matt Shoemaker, 2 Team Stacks + Pitchers = 3 Rosters)

LAD/WSH (Madison Bumgarner.Matt Shoemaker,  Matt Shoemaker, 2 Team Stacks + Pitchers = 3 Rosters)

WSH/COL (Madison Bumgarner.Matt Shoemaker,  Matt Shoemaker, 2 Team Stacks + Pitchers = 3 Rosters)

These are just 3 of the 30 Lineups we will construct for the night (5 team stacks wheeled x 3 pitchers, in the end, each of the clubs will have 12 STACKED rosters, so each player will be listed 4 –  6 times each on average.  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.
