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.
I can't tell what I am more excited for today: The launch of our DFS Playbook PRO or a return to a normal, non-broken up full slate of daily fantasy baseball. Either way, today is a great day.
I really like all four of my starting pitchers in the Playbook today. Obviously Felix Hernandez is the best one and I always advocate for rolling with the best possible arm on the board but I may just pivot a bit tonight and go with a Kazmir/Greene/Martinez mix. The Brewers are an absolute trainwreck and thus it wouldn't surprise me if Martine hurls a no hitter against them tonight.
The position player tonight read like a who's who of studs and hot bats with some interesting value plays mixed about. Stay tuned throughout the day as I will be updating the DFS MLB Playbook and the Daily Fantasy Baseball Rankings will be out shortly as well. I anticipate some changes once we start getting some injury updates and lineup info so make sure you pay close attention to the pages within this Playbook.
