Do you want to learn how to swim away from the sharks? Play daily fantasy baseball over on Fantasy Aces and you’ll be able to start out, learn and win big money in a much more laid back atmosphere where each contest isn’t full of people who play DFS for a living.
Make sure you check out our BRAND NEW Daily Fantasy Baseball Rankings debuting today!!
Finally a day without a split slate for DFS purposes. Although most sites are not including the Nationals at Red Sox game that starts 55 minutes before the rest of the evening games tonight. This is unfortunate because it sure would be nice to pivot off of Matt Harvey to a Stephen Strasburg instead of having to drop all of the way down to a Shane Greene or Daniel Norris. Hence, it is a Matt Harvey world tonight especially if you are playing on Fanduel where you only start one pitcher.
I will be updating the Playbook throughout the day as lineups come in and injury news is revealed. As always, feel free to leave your questions, comments and concerns below in the comments section. But PLEASE be a man and attach your name to the comments so that I can answer you directly.
