Playing MLB DFS Showdown on DraftKings
Major League Baseball is almost here. It is going to be a whirl-wind season with 60 games over 70 days for most teams. I love playing the MLB Showdown format on DraftKings throughout the season, especially on marquee matchups. The Showdown format presents multiple angles to attack from captain choice and use of relief pitchers […]

The abbreviated 2020 MLB season is almost upon us, and with it baseball DFS will be back. It’s important to keep MLB park factors in the front of your mind when determining which hitters and pitchers to use for your DFS lineups.

How to stack a lineup in MLB DFS
If you are new to MLB DFS, or just need a reminder, you almost always “stack” two teams. A “stack” refers to using multiple players from the same team in an attempt to correlate and maximize your fantasy production. This means you want four hitters from two different teams to fill out your lineup. The […]

Getting started in MLB DFS: What to look for, how to do it
There is no daily fantasy sport with more variance than baseball. You can get absolutely lost during the research process for a given slate. Unlike football and basketball, where you can bank and project volume, baseball is different. Mike Trout, the consensus top player in the sport, has far less control over his outcome than […]

MLB Futures: Breaking down the National League
To me, betting MLB futures is letting my freak flag fly. With little to no physical game action to go off of, I get to (mostly) put away the spreadsheets/graphing calculators to take a more broad, value-based approach. Now that doesn’t mean I don’t apply stringent, proactive risk management, which is paramount to sustained profitability. […]

Super deep fantasy baseball options worth considering in drafts
Knowledge is power in fantasy baseball, and one thing that we have learned is that in 12 NFBC drafts so far, they are going a little bit differently than before. The best part about an NFBC-style draft is the ability to track ADP. You aren’t simply guessing at what players are doing — you’re immersed […]
