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

what about Refsnyder

meh

Cases can be made, holes can be poked.

Doesn't scare me.

It's opening day. Went with hunches, like I said in OP.

are you doing the head-to-head contests?

50/50?

i can't help but do the big tournaments.

Here's two with Hutch...

P Andrew Hutchison $7,400 TOR@NYY
C Mike Zunino $2,800 LAA@SEA
1B Miguel Cabrera $4,900 MIN@DET
2B Brandon Phillips $3,100 PIT@CIN
3B Pablo Sandoval $3,100 BOS@PHI
SS Marcus Semien $2,700 TEX@OAK
OF J.D. Martinez $3,800 MIN@DET
OF Ryan Braun $4,100 COL@MIL

P Andrew Hutchison $7,400 TOR@NYY

OF Mitch Moreland $2,500 TEX@OAK

I think these two players are solid value too.

OF Leonys Martin TEX@OAK $3,300
OF Mookie Betts BOS@PHI $3,300

yeah, I'm only going to do the $1 games to start out with and see what happens.

that is what I did with Football.

its been a few years since I played fantasy baseball in a league but its my first year doing daily leagues.

I think I am leaning a Kluber lineup. 10 strikeouts and 8 IP is worth way more than even Trout + McCutchen could give me.

Kluber
Zunino
Lind
Dozier
Arenado
Escobar
Gardner
Byrd
Revere

I put a lot of focus on bats against weaker opening day starters. Therefore, no Padres (facing Kershaw) and tried to avoid true aces.

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
