Roto Riteup — Presented By DraftKings: August 1, 2014

So kind of a lot went down yesterday. For all the news that happened off the field, I urge you to read the Trade Reaction Roundup. In addition to the real-life implications, our very own Zach Sanders killed it yesterday with three timely trade articles and Nicholas Minnix chipped in another. You may find their work below the jump.

On today’s agenda:
1. Trades and their fantasy impact
2. Another strong outing for Yordano Ventura
3. Cliff Lee potentially done for the year
4. Ben Revere, still hitting, running and available
5. Welcome back, Will Middlebrooks
6. The daily five

Differences in Daily Scoring Systems — Pitchers

On Monday I took a look at how hitters fare under different daily fantasy scoring models. With Draftstreet being bought out by DraftKings, I thought it might be beneficial to note the differences between Draftstreet scoring and a couple of other sites to which daily players might have moved their money. If you don’t want to bother clicking over to read the hitter article, the short version was this: guys who strikeout a lot get a boost on non-DraftStreet formats, and guys whose main skill is contact lose some value.
