1. The Daily Overlay DK Contest
Join our contest running on Tuesday’s and Friday’s all season long! Take the money of Justin Mason, Paul Sporer and other fantasy analysts in this fun contest! Next season we will make a DFS League if there is interest.

Check tomorrow’s article for the link for Tuesday’s contest!

 

2. Casual Weather
CHW at DET- Detroit has a 35% chance of thunderstorms. This seems like it could play, but is likely one I will avoid especially if you cannot check the weather at lock.

TB at BOS- There is a slight chance of rain at game time, but it doesn’t sound like it will stop this one from playing.

 

3. Favorite Stacks
Rangers versus Justin Dunn– Dunn has already allowed three home runs in seven innings this year.

White Sox versus Daniel Norris and Michael Fulmer– Neither of these guys are good.

Rockies versus Robbie Ray– A lot of people bought into Ray’s mechanical changes prior to the season, but he looks like the same old Robbie Ray.

Left-handed Athletics versus Julio Teheran– Teheran has always struggled to keep the ball in the yard versus lefties.

Nationals versus Steven Matz– The Nats just crushed Matz in his last start and now have another go versus the volatile lefty.

 

4. Favorite Hitting Plays
Catcher (Expensive) Yasmani Grandal
Catcher (Punt/Value): Max Stassi– Stassi has already hit four home runs and should get the start versus the lefty Manaea. Also consider Wilson Ramos.

1B (Expensive): Matt Olson
1B (Punt/Value): Jake Lamb– Lamb has been dreadful, but it is pretty rare to get to use a power hitter in Colorado for this cheap. Also consider Edwin Rios, Brandon Belt, and CJ Cron

2B (Expensive): Ketel Marte
2B (Punt/Value): Starlin Castro– Castro is one of those unsexy guys that doesn’t get enough credit. He has been hitting third and is raking. The power will come too. Also consider Leury Garica and Joey Wendle,

3B (Expensive): Nolan Arenado
3B (Punt/Value): Joey Wendle- Wendle has been hot to start the season. He has a decent match up here and should keep getting run while he is hitting. Also consider Eduardo Escobar and Carter Kieboom

SS (Expensive): Fernando Tatis
SS (Punt/Value): Carter Kieboom- Kieboom is quietly hitting very well when he is in the lineup. Also consider Maurico Dubon and Willy Adames

OF (Expensive): Mike Trout, Charlie Blackmon, Nelson Cruz, and Austin Meadows
OF (Punt/Value): Victor Robles, Victor Reyes, Jo Adell. Also consider Nomar Mazara, Trent Grisham, Willie Calhoun, and David Peralta

 

5. Favorite Pitching Plays
Cash Games: Patrick Corbin, Kyle Gibson, Dustin May, Randy Dobnak

Tournament: Kyle Gibson, Dustin May, Randy Dobnak, Ryan Yarbrough

Contrarian Plays: Garrett Richards, Robbie Ray

The Daily Overlay will be running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday this season, so stay tuned for more DFS content next tomorrow.

Does anybody know what happened to Ottoneu?

I can’t access the site at all today.
