Touch ‘Em All: MLB DFS 6/8/19

Today’s article is for the main slate of six games starting at 7:15 PM.

Stacks:

Oakland Athletics at TEX (Adrian Sampson)
Matt Chapman (3B), Matt Olson (1B), Khris Davis (OF)

DK: $13600

This game is the second game of a day/night doubleheader. Make sure that all three of these guys are playing in game two. Adrian Sampson is coming off of a fantastic outing but that won’t continue today. You can get these three guys for decent value. This team can put up a lot of runs, so you don’t want to miss out if that is the case today.

An Unfortunate Injury

Any mother who has ever had a son who played sports has had a debate with them about having to wear an athletic supporter and protective cup. Most boys and men say they aren’t comfortable, they impede their ability to play or they cause a rash to develop because of how hot they are and how much sweat accumulates. Despite the complaints about this protective piece of equipment, it serves a very important purpose. This fact can be attested to first hand by Seattle Mariners Outfielder Mitch Haniger.

Closer Carousel: How will the trade deadline impact closers?

Chasing saves is one of the most aggressive pursuits in fantasy baseball. With more teams opting to use their closers in high-leverage situations as opposed to traditional, ninth-inning usage, a common strategy has been to avoid paying for saves. This has made it important to attack the waiver wire or overbid opponents for newly-appointed closers. But what about closers thriving for rebuilding teams, at risk to be moved at the trade deadline for a package of prospects? Fantasy owners must decide whether their closers might become setup relievers when traded to a new team with a deeper bullpen, or if they will receive more save opportunities closing for a contender. Let’s examine the closers that are likely to be moved and assess the benefits for their fantasy value, categorizing each of them as “upgrade” or “downgrade.”

MLB DFS DraftKings Around the Horn June 7th, 2019

A full schedule to dissect for tonight awaits us. The Milwaukee Brewers and Houston Astros are in fine spots and will likely be very popular when targeting offense. The pitching landscape has plenty of good to great options, no clear cut favorite but we can feel fairly confident with a couple aces that are in good spots. You know the drill, we’re going Around the Horn! Giddy up!

MLB DFS DraftKings Around the Horn June 6th, 2019

Tonight we get a more simplified schedule as there will be eight-afternoon games compared to just five-night games. This might make matters easier for some as the pool of players will be trimmed down considerably. Of the six games, we will find that each game has pieces we can use to build optimal lineups. Hopefully, the Daily Fantasy season is going well for you, it can be a grind sometimes but doing some homework can turn out to be very rewarding at the end of the day. Time to circle the bases and go Around the Horn!

Deep Dive: Bryce Harper

Bryce Harper is one of the most over-scrutinized players in baseball. Let’s stop the outrageous notion that Harper “sucks. Harper has not been off to a great start in 2019 but he’s been quite unlucky this season too.

Andrew Friedman: The Savior of Dodger Baseball

As of this very moment, the best record in baseball belongs to the Los Angeles Dodgers. This is no minor coincidence, a stroke of luck, or the earth stopping its rotation. This is a methodically and well-prepared team, that have been constructed in a way, that has not only led to the current success, but also for the long term future. Despite all of the criticism and questioning, it all leads back to one man, and this man is the front office enigma himself, Andrew Friedman.
