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.
Before you make your post about how so and so is in the Playbook but out of the lineup today, make sure you check out the Daily Fantasy Baseball Rankings that are up for today's games. Asl always we will update the Playbook throughout the afternoon even while we are on air over at SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio.
Tonight I am building around the greatest pitcher on earth in Clayton Kershaw which makes me very comfortable going in to today's action. But in order to fit Kershaw we are going to have to find value across the board tonight and thus you are going to find some unfamiliar names within the confines of today's Playbook.
