Please tell me that you are playing daily fantasy baseball over on Fantasy Aces. If you are not then you are seriously missing out because Fantasy Alarm Nation is absolutely crushing the competition over on Fantasy Aces right now and you can too. Just use one of the links provided to you here, make a deposit to Fantasy Aces and start winning today.
So, how are you liking our Daily Fantasy Baseball Rankings? Hopefully you are using these in conjunction with the DFS MLB Playbook in order to stay ahead of the competition and any weather or lineup issues that arise during the day. I am incredibly anxious for you guys to see our DFS MLB Playbook PRO that is debuting tomorrow night but until then we are just going to have to make due.
Today we have another split slate which, if you listen to my show on SiriusXM, you know that I really don't care for. But, we will make the most of it by splitting up our Playbooks for the early and late slates. PLEASE NOTE: Since there are only four games in the evening slate there will be no rankings done for those games, just a DFS MLB Playbook.
Here are my Daily Fantasy Baseball Rankings for Thursday, April 23rd Early Slate:
