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 we choose as SP2 tonight….
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 mold into a sharp, little tiny human. She’s so much…
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 isn’t a…
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 we have a 10-game slate, bigger than most…
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 will be the first time I’ve had the responsibility of taking care…
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 Texas. It’s weird to think Darvish won’t be pitching for the…
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 for DFS should a major trade or…
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 stacks of course, but not a lot of shares…
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 representing a company you are employed by. Not that my employer,…
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 8 in July alone. Correa gets hurt, Springer gets hurt, Altuve…
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 for awhile. In one of my season-long…
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 of special education. I’ll wear many hats and…
