Jock MKT is fun new way to play DFS. In this article, I’ll break down what Jock MKT is and my favorite MLB buys for tonight’s slate.
What Is Jock MKT?
The simplest way to outline this is daily fantasy sports meets the stock market. You’ll purchase shares of players for varying amounts, depending on how much others are willing to pay for them during the IPO. Once the Live Trading starts, you can buy players that others want to sell or sell your players during the game. Once all of the games have ended, you will receive money based on how well your player performs compared to the field on the Jock MKT app for the night.

7/14/22 Top Play
Matt Olson, Atlanta Braves
Projected Rank: 9th
Example: If I buy 1 share of Judge at $9.00 and he finishes 14th in this field, I make my $9.00 back. If he finishes 1st, I win $25 (profit $16.00). If he finishes last, I win $1 (lose $8.00). It’s that simple.

I was in disbelief when I opened today’s slate…Anibal Sanchez is back and pitching for the Washington Nationals tonight. We haven’t seen him for an extended period since 2019, and the last time we did see him…the results were not great. He struck out under 20% of batters on both sides of the plate, and allowed over a HR/9 to both righties and lefties. We know that Olson has massive power against right-handed pitching, and he has been heating up as of late. Overall, Atlanta has a monster six run team total tonight and Olson is right here with Ronald Acuna for the highest upside on Thursday night.
Secondary Play
Jeremy Pena, Houston Astros
Projected Rank: 26th
Pena and the Astros are in one of the best overall spots tonight against Reid Detmers, who was called back up and will start for the Angels tonight. The way to beat Detmers this season has been with right-handed hitters, he’s allowing a .331 wOBA and a .207 ISO in the split. Pena actually has the second-highest wOBA on the Astros against lefties this season. He also is one of the best fastball hitters on the roster, with a 66% hard-hit rate against the pitch. Detmers throws his heater almost 50% of the time to right-handed hitters this season. I think the Astros have arguably the highest ceiling tonight in this match-up and securing some shares to the top of the order is a priority for me.
