In today's DFS Playbook we are ignoring the three early games in order to focus on a big Saturday night slate across MLB. The return of the Playbook yesterday produced positive results pretty much across the board and spectacular ones if you paid for the likes of Giancarlo Stanton, Robinson Cano and Jose Abreu. But pitching let us down a bit with Bartolo Colon losing his cool in the fifth inning and thus removing himself from what would have been an easy win against the lowly Padres. Max Schrezer and the Tigers/Indians game is not available on Draftkings tonight which takes away nice pitching option. There is some weather to watch in Atlanta so keep an eye on fantasyalarm.com for weather update.
***Update : Alexei Ramirez hitting 2nd makes a better play on Fanduel at $2800 than Jody Mercer hitting 8th. Joe Panik makes a nice punt option at 2K as a SS on Draftkings. Moises Sierra is also not in the lineup tonight for the White Sox. Jared Dyson and Junior Lake could make other cheap OF options that maybe needed to fit in the big name pitchers in your lineup.
But let's look ahead shall we? For more information on how to use the DFS Playbook or how to form your own general DFS strategy, check out our DFS Strategies section of the Fantasy Alarm website.
