Finished 12/2378 with 164+ cashing for $8. Cheap Hou guys finally paid off and also had Tex stack
I thinks it's probably that they are so cheap. On DK this year it's hard to find usable players at 3.7k and almost the whole lineup is below that with some sub 3k. And in the fact that Pitt has crappy pitching and I can see it. Not for SE but if you're doing 50+ lineups it makes sense I guess.So I'm in today's DK MLB $250k web gem, and I notice that most of the pros have multiple lineups with Detroit Tigers stacks, like 5-6 Tigers each. So what do they all know that we don't know? It can't just be to chase low ownership. It makes no sense unless maybe you have some sort of inside info because no model would spit out a lineup with all Tigers. And as I write this the Tigers are up 7-1 in the 3rd inning.
Update 1: lol PIT wins 8-7 but 5 Tigers still in first place lineup although that probably won't hold up. Still I really want to know how the pros know to pick these types of lineups.
Update 2: I finished in the top 40 with a lineup with no Tigers. I'll take it
I wonder these things too, but they seem to take away so much info on sites unless you are paying $100+ or something.So I'm in today's DK MLB $250k web gem, and I notice that most of the pros have multiple lineups with Detroit Tigers stacks, like 5-6 Tigers each.

I've been playing more MLB lately because NFL, NHL, NBA are done and this has been my strategy pretty much every day. I've been playing multiple lineups in the 10 cent tournament (I can't imagine how bad the ROI is for this effort, but whatever
). On a related note, are you guys aware of DK achievements? They are running an MLB one right now that awards 1.5K crowns if you have at least one player homer from all 30 MLB teams before July 7th. I know it's gamification designed to increase interest in MLB / DFS in general but if we are already playing why not take notice of it?
I wonder when this started? I'm at 6/30 and would need almost 2 HRs/day- don't think that's going to happen.I've been playing more MLB lately because NFL, NHL, NBA are done and this has been my strategy pretty much every day.

Paxton is on my #### list from the last time I used him and he got negative 9+ points. I finished 13 points out of 1st in this gpp and literally any other SP that day would have won it for me .
I might try Nola/Canning instead.
Wish I had entered these the opposite way, 50/50 lineup at 158+ which would be 1st in gpp by 10 points
Yeah, he tanked my DK lineups too. Looks like Musgrove of all people was the SP to use tonight- probably because I stacked against him on FD.
My DK lineups are mostly Scherzer/Cole and scrubs the rest of the way with as many TEX, HOU, TOR, LAD bats as I could get cheap.
I need Will Smith to do something here in order to cash. Same deal, I spent on the wrong bats other than Judge and DJ. But my late game lineups all have Trout, Upton, Ohtani. They are starting to heat up here in the 5th so there's still hope for a positive result.
I mostly look at SPs first, especially now that I am on DK only and have to figure out 2 of them. LIke RW said, and I think I posted before - for gpps I try to keep my SP pairing to under 18K so that I am starting with about 4K/batter, and usually try to get 16K or lower. Of course that depends on the slates and the options. Smaller slates I might have to deviate from that, but the huge 13-15 game slates I rarely do. That doesn't mean I will never go with a guy like Sale, just that if I do on a big slate I will try to pair him with a sub 7k crapper. If not, will go with 2 in the mid range.
I am under the impression that you either need to pay WAY up or just try your best with free info. I've tried a couple subscriptions without any luck and they always seem to have more and more info that you need to pay for - ie RG have the different projection systems as upgrades and other upgrades. I listen to the RG podcast a bit, and it seems like 4-5 times a week they are sweating a top 10 placement, but it sure doesn't seem to be from the info they provide.
Same here and Paxton got hit even harder. Guess the people who ran out lineups with Jay's and Wsox are going to be taking all the cash this slate
well you were right that was the popular build. And it looks like it would have been a good fade so far.
awesemo.com. The guy wins a lot, but his own gpp lineups don't typically reflect the advise on the site. The only sport where I have found that site to be somewhat useful is golf.Raging weasel said:
