Daily Fantasy Sports

[IrishinTN]

Just wondering if anyone else on here does daily fantasy sports like Draft Kings or Fan Duel. I was hoping to start a discussion where we might help each other with player projections and team selections.

Like today, for example- Big money pitchers like Scherzer, King Felix and Greinke are out there, but some mid-priced guys, too, like Garret Richards, Lance Lynn and Scott Kazmir.

Who do you think is the best play tonight?

I currently play on Draft Kings just so we're clear on the pricing. I have Scherzer in my lineup tonight. He's too hard to pass up against the lowly Phillies. Besides him there's a ton of good pitchers tonight and I haven't yet decided on my second pitcher. McHugh and Syndergaard are super cheap and I like them. Then there's Archer and Pineda for a little more money. I don't think I'm playing Felix tonight but it's only because I know I want Max and I don't want to pay for both. Are you playing large contests or 50/50's or what? I'm Jackalope1977 on there if you ever want to play heads up for a few bucks.

Fan Duel

 

[IrishinTN]

I have done draft Kings but mostly golf, which I actually haven't done in a few months as I wasn't winning anything. I recently realized that the best money is in the 50/50's for me, as I am not good enough to win the major tournamnets. I am truly a cheap skate spening about $5 a night- I do two one dollar tournaments on FAn Duel as well as a $2 double up and a $1 50/50. That way I stand a good chance of at least getting my money back and if the team does well, I can get more.

Tonight I couldn't pass up on Scherzer either so I bucked up the cash for him and then stacked players from the pathetic pitching matchup at Coors field, so my lineup looks like this:

PM. Scherzer PHI@WAS $11,700
CJ. Castro HOU@DET $2,300
1BF. Freeman MIL@ATL $3,300
2BD. Espinosa PHI@WAS $2,900
3BC. McGehee SFG@COL $2,800
SSJ. Hardy BAL@MIA $2,300
OFA. Pagan SFG@COL $2,600
OFC. Blackmon SFG@COL $3,800
OFH. Pence SFG@COL $3,300

way too hard to get Scherzer and Harper in the same lineup no matter how you try. I am doing a "Turbo" on fan duel tonight as well.

Keep an eye on the weather in Colorado. It's going to rain at some points out there. Looks ok at game time but you know how predicting the weather goes.

 

[Jackalope1977]

Oh and I will be playing Harper tonight.

 

[IrishinTN]

Yeah, I usually predict weather wrong, but have recently been using this site- Weather 5/22 - Daily Baseball Data

It has been really spot on and I have not had to fade teas as much since i started following it. It indicates that game will play, but I will definitely check it closer to time. Only thing I hate about fan duel is no changes after first game starts.

Haha, that's what I use too. Just wanted to be sure you saw that.

 

[Grahambo]

I'm attempting Scherzer/Harper in the same lineup:

P - Scherzer
C - Molina
1B - Krauss
2B - Field
3B - Tomas
SS - Hardy
OF - Harper
OF - Pagan
OF - Cuddyer

Just a $1 tourney so going of broke! ha

McGehee not playing.

What's the best you guys have ever done in any sport? Last fall I spent several hours #1 out of 22000 and was eyeballing some real cashola. All I needed was the Noerthwestern RB to do his average (18 pts) or better. He got 9. I fell all the way to 100. Still won like $350 that time, though. I will win $100 or so about once a month in my contests which often pays for the rest of the month. I am obviously just playing for the fun of it and hoping i hit the big one some time. Kind of like playing the lottery, I guess, but with better odds and lower payout.

 

[IrishinTN]

McGehee not playing.

checked the lineups and totaly missed that. Thanks man. Sheesh, I guess it's back to Moustoukas.

 

[IrishinTN]

had to swap Espinosa for Peterson, too, to make it work. Good luck guys. Let me know if you win anything.

I took 41 out of 3400 in a 20$ baseball tournament. Paid around 400 I believe. I've also spent some time in the top 10 of really big tournaments only to fall late. It's painful man. I like 50/50's but you aren't going to get rich playing those.

COL/SF game is going to have delays likely and a chance for cancellation


I don't know who Ted Schuster is but this was on Roto Info.

 

[Jackalope1977]

What contest are you guys in on Fanduel? I'll play although I only have ten bucks on there so it better be cheap.

I got a decent lineup I thought with them...but I chickened out and changed it up. haha

Haha, I don't blame you. I didn't really like what I saw with both of them in there.

 

[Irish Insanity]

I play fan duel. Put only $25 in when I started. I have maybe $3 left. I've won some $ a few times but lost any more. My problem is I spend 10 mins setting a line up and to many people research and spend a few hours doing it. There have been a few times I've noticed one person input the same line up 3 times in a $1 or $2 large player tourney and pull of 1st woth all 3 line ups. I just don't have the time to dedicate like some.

 

[IrishinTN]

Yeah, I actually have time but I guess I do research right cause I win enough to keep on playing and that's about it. pisses me off.

 

[IrishinTN]

Wind blowing straight out at Wrigley today at 21 mph. Might want to bear that one in mind. My line-up is very heavy for those teams today, so if it doesn't happen, that's another $4 I'll be donating to fan due.

 

[IrishinTN]

First inning was good. Sure went downhill after that.

Haha, should've bought Yankees instead!!

 

[IrishinTN]

I could kick myself. I had Garnder in my lineup and then changed it and couldn't decide between McCann and Bryan Pena. Obviously I chose very poorly but still won my 50/50. Oh well, a new week and a new set of chances.

What do you think? Trying to capitalize on some bad pitching again. But it seems like every time, the pitchers pitch way over their heads. Or I just pick the batters who don't do anything. I could possibly put Trout in instead of Blackmon, but then I would have to downgrade Encarnacion and another position, which I don't think is really worth the trade off.

Well rain seems to be following Colorado wherever they go so I'd watch that. I love DeGrom tonight, I'm playing him too.
