In rather exciting non-DFS news, amateur prospect Carter Stewart has opted to sign with a Japanese team for $7MM rather deal with the shenanigans of the MLB draft system. Stewart was selected eighth overall by the Braves last summer. He was prepared to sign a slot-value contract before the Braves pulled a bait-and-switch. Stewart lost an ensuing grievance.

What if, instead of referring to the multitude of playable pitchers, today’s title was about an actual pile of arms. Well, that would be rather macabre.

Yesterday was our first sizable overlay since our over-sized Opening Day contest. An overlay is when the platform (FantasyDraft) is paying out more money than they’re receiving. For instance, last night, they paid out $104 on $88 of entries. That means each entry had an expected value of $2.36.

Thursdays, due to the thin slate, tend to feature the largest overlays. Therefore, you should participate in the Invitational tonight.

So I was looking over some real MLB stuff and… the Reds are kind of sneaky good, aren’t they? Most of their hitters are underperforming, the team is 15-21, and yet they also have a +21 run differential – fourth best in the National League. Now imagine Joey Votto, Scooter Gennett, and Yasiel Puig actually hitting (to say nothing of Blackhole Peraza). That team could ruin some hopes and dreams in the NL Central.
