*If you don’t already play 3 lineups and 3 max entry contests daily, try using the teams provided in the stacks above to maximize upside and correlation in your MLB lineups.
- Two different start times and a bunch of unconfirmed lineups makes this a little hard to write, but I’ll go over the general direction on where I am going on both sites. I think Taijuan Walker on DK is great value, he’s near min price where as on FD he is 9k. He has strung together some solid starts and the Boston Red Sox are not a team that I am terrified of attacking anymore. They do have some solid bats along with JD Martinez returning to the lineup but Walker can easily surpass value even if he gives up 3-4 runs. He’s probably my SP2 today. I love Clayton Kershaw as well, he’s found his groove and I think that’s where I’ll be going on FanDuel.
- In terms of bats, we have a lot of unconfirmed lineups but so far I am on the Los Angeles Dodgers, Washington Nationals, Philadelphia Phillies, New York Yankees, New York Mets, and the Chicago White Sox. I really love the Nationals/Phillies game, Zach Eflin struggles vs lefties, and Anibal Sanchez has had a rough start to the year. I can definitely see this being a high scoring affair.
- This would make my top bats of the day Bryce Harper, Juan Soto, Adam Eaton, Didi Gregorious, Max Muncy, Jose Abreu, and Eloy Jimenez.
- That’s my mini-breakdown for the day! I hope you guys enjoy, let me know if you have any questions. Good luck!
