Dylan Cease had a big game at 49% ownership last night in the 50 cent tournament I’m trying to win, I pretty much fully faded him - so needless to say, I lost last night. I had $37.50 in and only got $16.89 out. Some of my friends would call that a “Seventeen Dollar Win”, so that’s what I’m going with.

Tonight, I will attack it again. I will either do

a) better
b) worse
c) about the same


Attempt #2

Bigger slate today. All 15 games are after 6pm eastern, but we have five of these weird 6:## eastern start times, so we have a 10-game DFS slate.

Pitchers

After seeing the numbers in the Daily Notes this morning about the White Sox, I want to just make this simple and go 100% on Pablo Lopez. I think I’m going to do that, he’s at $9,300 at home against the White Sox, and he should put up a big number tonight. If he leads the slate in points, I’m cooking. The pitchers I would consider for the build:

Lopez ($9,300), King ($7,000), G-Rod ($9,600), Gilbert ($9,000), Gausman ($8,500), Webb ($8,800), Feltner ($6,400), France ($5,600)

That’s eight pitchers, probably a few too many. I wouldn’t want to put more than a few dollars on Feltner/France with the downside on those guys (and lack of upside on France’s side). The projections are liking France for that tag against the Cubs, and he’s a guy that has gone out and put up a lot of those six or seven inning starts with a good WHIP and a win, so we can’t write him off just because of the crazy low strikeout expectations.

The fades I’m looking at:

Fried ($8,000): Just doesn’t have the swing and miss stuff yet this year and the ownership is projected to be very high.

Stroman ($9,800): You wouldn’t think this high of a price on Stroman would generate much ownership, but the projected ownership is high at 15%, even against Oakland that’s a pretty fade for me.

The lowest ownerships on the guys that I want to play are France (3%), Feltner (1%), Gausman (11%), and Gilbert (5%).

Team Offense

I wonder if I should just focus more on team offenses rather than individual pieces. The optimizer lets us do that. The top projected lineups (using just the 1-5 hitters since that’s where we want most of our hitters):

The Cardinals and Yankees seem to be the ownership leverage stacks here if we’re trusting my projections.

And I took a break there to get the lineups, and the results are in. I’m heavy on Cardinals and Astros, with generally a pretty mixed group of hitter selections and then 100% Pablo Lopez action. Running 100 lineups into this thing tonight, let’s see what happens baby!
