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.
We are finally getting into the "normal" part of the season where we don't have all of these silly early and mid-afternoon games. Tonight we have a full slate in MLB as all 30 teams are in action and thus we have just about every regular starter at our disposal tonight in DFS. Despite this wealth of hitters, the pitching is actually pretty thin tonight. I am listing Chris Archer as my primary cash game pitcher but even he I am not 100% sold on in this matchup against the dangerous Red Sox. The good new is that if we are able to find the right value starters, we can load up on bats throughout our lineups. This means even possibly doing something so crazy as to fade Coors Field in large field tournaments.
