[fdas2]

Won all 4 3-man leagues I played. 7 out of 12 so far this year.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Won like $56 on $40 in play. I'm rich!

 

[ajm27501]

Off to a bad start fortunately just in small stakes. Hoping to learn.

 

[RnR]

I won, too. Let's play again. All skill.

 

[fdas2]

Any thoughts on pitchers for tonight? Leaning towards Porcello at the moment.

Have him circled as one of my two in DK. Weighing my options with Shelby Miller as the 2nd.

Any thoughts on pitchers for tonight? Leaning towards Porcello at the moment.

Wouldn't touch him , especially on FD. Aside from not K'ing anyone, the weather in the northeast/Philly area is gross today. Cold and rainy. Could be a short outing for Porcello. Unless he's dirt cheap, wouldn't even look that way and even then, I'd probably stay away.

Well mainly because you start 1 SP only. And just looked, 7900 , not 'that' cheap really. Don't see the value there. In cash or tournies actually.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Zimmermann and Carrasco for the expensive tastes.

Pineda, Quintana, Kazmir for the frugal.

 

[Da Gildz]

Degrom (9K-FD) could be worth paying for IMO. That Nats lineup at the moment is pretty atrocious. Especially vs RHP's. O/U 6.5 to boot. Think you can get 7 strong from Degrom with nice K-potential. Should be a fine cash play.

 

[RnR]

Seven strong and high K output from a guy with a set pitch count is a lot to ask, especially when you're paying full price (salary wise) for a road start against Jordan Zimmermann. Pass.

 

[Peyton Marino]

It's Carrasco and then everybody else for me.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Trout is 3-19 against Iwakuma, fyi. Either he's due or he can't hit him.

(Pujols is 2-19)

Degrom is pretty economical with his pitch count. I don't see why he couldn't get thru 7 with 90-100 pitches. Pretty reasonable. When you consider the other pitchers in his price range on FD at least, he's not much more expensive and he's probably a lot better.

Again, its a cash play only. Give me 9k Degrom over a 7900 Porcello any day of the week.

 

[fdas2]

I passed on deGrom because of the pitch count. Went back and looked at Porcello after Gildz commments, and I'm not going with him either. I guess I'll spend on Carrasco and go cheap on a hitter or two.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

[RnR]

FWIW, Porcello is more of a value play on DK ($6900, 18th of 24 probables) than on FD ($7900, 13th of 24). Weather may be something to consider there, though, as Gildz referenced.

 

[Da Gildz]

Carrasco I like also. He'll K at least 6 Astros blindfolded. No threat of a weather-shortened game to boot.

Oh and opposing Scott Feldman is the cherry on top.

 

[Peyton Marino]

DeGrom on FD is iffy imo because they're only +120 to win. Ks and IPs are only +1 in their scoring system so that +4 for the win is a bigger factor, relatively speaking.

 

[cheese]

Nobody likes Lynn today?

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

DK #1

Carrasco, Pineda, Perez, Abreu, Walker, Moustakas, Hanley, Puig, Betts, MA Taylor

Hanley, Moustakas, Walker and Perez have favorable historical history vs the pitchers today, fwiw.

DK #2

Zimmermann, Kazmir, Cervelli, Freeman, Pedroia, C. Davis, Simmons, Brantley, Stanton, Kemp

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

The early games are separated out on DK...but no, don't love that matchup.

Edit: If you can get the early games in your lineup, Anibal should destroy our Twins.

 

[RnR]

Tentative DK lineup:

P - S. Kazmir

P - R. Porcello

C - C. Santana

1B - P. Goldschmidt

2B - J. Panik

3B - N. Arenado

SS - J. Rollins

OF - A. McCutchen

OF - C. Gomez

OF - J. Ellsbury

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Thought about trying to use C. Santana...could see a nice game there.

 

[fdas2]

Nobody likes Lynn today?

I'm not playing any leagues that involve the two day games. Lineups lock at first pitch of first game on FD. Too much uncertainty with the lineup

 

[shadyridr]

Why is DeGrom on a pitch count? I agree that Nats lineup is horrible right now. But with Wins being so important I would shy away from DeGrom as well.

 

[fdas2]

Tenative, but I like what I've got here.

Carrasco

Norris

Goldschmidt

Peterson

Tulo

Lamb

Peralta

Pollack

Brantely

Like the Dbacks @ home against whatever AAA pitcher the Giants are running out tonight.

No idea, but he is

DBACKSTACK

 

[RnR]

Slightly off-topic... any of you guys taking a shot at the Masters Millionaire thing on DK? Strategy there?

 

[Good Posting Judge]

DBACKSTACK

FWIW, Heston seems like he keeps the ball down pretty well, he's a sinker/curve guy. May result in a bad-ish outing rather than a disastrous one if he can limit being taken dep.

DAMN DIRTY APES!

PIT/CIN and CWS/KC look to be in rain danger.

Now to check lineups. The above team looks super stacked compared to prior lineups I rolled out.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Cin/Pit and Was/Nym with delayed starts. Panic!

 

[Peyton Marino]

PorcellNO

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Porcellolololol?

I wonder if there's any advantage to entering contests that fill up early/the night before, with the intention of making rain-based subs at game-time, hoping that enough other people won't. Would that work?

 

[RnR]

A 3-run HR by Frenchy ruined what was otherwise an IN YOUR FACE performance from Ricky boy. Maybe next time. All skill.

Luckily I was streaming Francoeur in three of my big money leagues tonight. /Mac32

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

We'll always have Carlos Santana, rnr.

Gb Carrasco too, although some more run support would be nice.

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Despite picking good pitchers it's looking like a rough night for our hero.

 

[RnR]

I won again! Why didn't you guys tell me this stuff was so easy? All skill.
