Tonight’s slate features a number of extreme venues for home runs – both for and against. Enjoy.
AGENDA
To date, when using SaberSim to judge values, I’ve been forced to use DraftKings prices which are a close but not perfect approximation for FantasyDraft’s model. No more! As of today, FDraft (and Yahoo!) are available as selectable platforms in SaberSim.
I’m especially interested to see how their optimizer deals with FDraft’s scant positional definitions. Then again, I’ve long viewed the lack of catered optimizers as a feature of using FDraft so I suppose I’m hoping it doesn’t work.

Sometimes we’re asked to sort through mucky slates. This is one of them.
AGENDA
I checked in on my Bold Predictions this morning and found this unexpected gem.
AGENDA
This time, my moment of self-defeat was the decision to use what I perceived to be a mildly risky Matt Adams and “upgrade” to Zack Wheeler from Masahiro Tanaka. Quite a run of unforced errors over these last three contests.
AGENDA
Last Thursday, a couple players not starting and edited my way out of the money. On Friday, I was detained at a dinner five minutes too long to remove Franmil Reyes from my lineup (he sat). Hunter Renfroe (51 points) absolutely would have been my replacement which would have led to over 230 points. Grumble grumble.
Or maybe I would have reconceptualized my entire roster like I did on Thursday. (Based on the two lineups I submitted, I would have found the extra money for Renfroe by downgrading 22-point Alex Bregman).
AGENDA
The Dodgers decision not to start Kyle Garlick led to a chain reaction of roster tinkering that cost me over 60 points. I would have finished second in TDGI – even with a toasted Garlick. My grapes, they are sour.
AGENDA
Sometimes I don’t have anything to say in this space.
AGENDA
I had a little Twitter chat with Derek Carty and a reader about DFS outcomes this season. Apparently, “everybody” had a terrible April and great May (I know that’s true for me). Carty chalked it up to volatile pitching outings. I think it might have more to do with projection systems lagging at the start of the season. That’s my theory anyway. I have no plans to test it.
AGENDA
Despite missing a couple weeks for various reasons, there will be a chat this afternoon at 4:00pm ET.
