MLB Value Index - August 8

Today we are back to a full-slate of action in the majors. We have fifteen games, one pitcher I want to use and tons of gas cans. I think pitching is a mess outside of Chris Sale, so we all probably need a little luck on our side with who…

MLB Value Index - August 7

Today is the day that marks the end of summer...for me. I survived the bachelor dad life last week, but it's back-to-school for me today. It was a great summer. Lots of DFS success, getting to spend time with my family and watch my daughter…

MLB Value Index - August 4

If you have been reading the Index this week, you know that I am bachelor dad this week as the wife is out of town for a work conference. I am happy to say, that so far, my daughter and I have made it just fine the first two days. I hope this…

MLB Value Index - August 3

Well last night's pitching was a disaster. Thanks Keuchel and Moore. I guess something isn't right with Mr. Keuchel, so he's off my radar until I see him reign it back in. As for Matt Moore. He's dead to me in DFS from here on out. Tonight…

MLB Value Index - August 2

Well single dad life begins today... Temporarily of course. The wife is leaving for a makeup conference until Sunday. It's the first time she will have been away from our 20-month-old daughter for a longer period of time than a full workday. It…

MLB Value Index - August 1

The trade deadline has come and gone. My boy Yu Darvish is no longer a Ranger, shipped to the Dodgers for a handful of prospects. A few other mid-tier to minor transactions took place, but nothing more noteworthy than the departure of Yu from…

MLB Value Index - July 31

One of the best days of the year is upon us, it's also a we need to really follow closely concerning our DFS lineups. Today is the MLB trade deadline, final at 3 p.m. central. While we still get a few hours to adjust lineups and our thinking…

MLB Value Index - July 28

I really hate slates where I feel I can't spend all of my salary. That was my approach last night. I didn't want Lester and Archer seemed too expensive for a road trip to Yankee Stadium. I rostered Godley and Flexen mostly and had some hedge…

MLB Value Index - July 27

So I've done something that I've been wanting to do for awhile. It was all my idea as I felt it is just necessary to separate daily fantasy sports and personal political opinions. The two shouldn't ever be brought together when you are publicly…

MLB Value Index - July 26 (Evening)

Jose Altuve has been something else. Batting .500 in the month of July and after Monday's performance, he put up 10 multi-hit games in his last 14. Goldy, Cano, Springer, Correa and Rendon all have seven games of 3 or more hits. Altuve has…

MLB Value Index - July 25

Boy I hate to see the big boys go down. Clayton Kershaw, especially. He was placed on the 10-day DL on Monday and will be out 4-6 weeks. He's the best pitcher in baseball and we don't get to watch him pitch or use him in daily fantasy…

MLB Value Index - July 24

The summer is quickly coming to an end for this ol' teacher. I move into a new position soon and have just a couple of weeks left before I officially return to work. I won't be in the classroom this year, and instead move into another facet…
