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 5, 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).

 I kid you not, this might be one of those Dunkin Donuts nights were the whole league may score more than 141 runs combined.  It could be more like  200 runs total scored over 15 contests.

I like it so much I have listed 11 teams I like for team stacks and will wheel them with 3 pitchers for a grand total of 165 rosters.  (150 in the Sac Fly, 1 in the $1 bunt single entry, mini sac fly. mini bunt, $2 Stolen Base Single entry $3 Mini Squeeze, for my top 6 entries.  

It will take a good 6 or 7 hours to put forth these entries, but I am hoping it will pay off.

Stacking Options  – Todays Rankings

Seattle Mariners vs Tim Lincecum

Toronto Blue Jays vs Dillon Gee

Chicago Cubs vs Dillon Overton

Colorado Rockies vs David Phelps

Miami Marlins vs Jorge De La Rosa

Arizona D’Backs vs Chase Anderson

Chicago White Sox vs Yovani Gallardo

Milwaukee Brewers vs Braden Shipley

Washington Nationals vs Jeff Samardzija

Texas Rangers vs Dallas Keuchel

Baltimore Orioles vs Miguel Gonzalez

3 Pitchers to use

Felix Hernandez. LAA @ SEA, $9600 (Other than Mike Trout absolutely owning the King with a 1.100 OPS, 5 HRS and 15 RBI in 72 AB, the club still has a collective .691 OPS against him even with those numbers.  Hernandez has fanned over 10K per 9 IP versus them as well.  With Lincecum toting the ball for the Angels, 12 Pts for a win is also a realistic win opportunity.

Jameson Taillon, CIN @ PIT, $7400 (The RHP Canadian has thrown 4 quality starts in a row, with 3 wins out of his last 4. Cincinnati is 18 – 34 on the road.  Even though they are throwing unbeaten Andrew DeSclafani, their Bullpen will give up a pile of runs.  I actually think the Bucs will get to the Reds chucker, just not enough to hit the stacks rankings.

Jeremy Hellickson, PHI @ SD, $7300 (Posted a 2.39 ERA in 6 GS in July, with a 5 – 1 record.  I know I have been calling for the San Diego offense to start struggling, to no avail yet, but after the Pod Squad scored 12 runs on Wednesday, can they really keep it up? The price is right for the Phillies veteran 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.  Since we had 55 total team stack rosters wheeled with the pitchers, we put them past the sample lineups.)

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 6 of the 165 Lineups we will construct for the night (1 team stacks wheeled x 3 pitchers, in the end, each of the clubs will have 30 STACKED rosters, so each player will be listed 11 –  15 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.

If you’re not familiar with the points breakdown, here’s the format utilizing a $35 million salary cap.
