re: Weekly Thread for Daily Fantasy Baseball: April 6-12 Discussion

I am avoiding Hutch at all costs. You absolutely need your pitcher to roll and get the win in daily fantasy baseball and I am not confident in him today. NY will load up a lefty powered lineup against him which isn't ideal for him (he wasn't very good against lefties last season). Plus you have to consider the park plays great for left handed hitters. The K potential is there, but you need your pitcher to get that win bonus and that might be tough (NY is the favorite in this game and the O/U is one of the highest today bouncing around 8 total runs).

On a site like fan duel (one starting pitcher sites), I'd advise against going cheap at pitcher. Pay up and fill in your lineup around him.

On DK, Alvarez is a great option, imo, because you need to start two pitchers on that site. He is one of the cheapest pitchers going today and Miami is favored in a low scoring game at home. With his price in consideration, you can pair him up with one of the highest costing aces to get their ridiculous upside and still have enough money to fill in a decent lineup around them thanks to the price discount of Alvarez.

One of my lineups on DK has Kluber & Alvarez going and a lineup that stacks Brewers & Yankees hitters.

My DK Lineup:
P Kluber
P Alvarez
C Lucroy
1B Lind
2B Gennett
3B Headley
SS Rollins
OF Gomez
OF Ellsbury
OF Beltran
