MLB Value Index - July 21

The end of the week has arrived! Hopefully you aren't too tired staying up late and watching the Open Championship, that is if you are into that sort of thing. Tonight we have a 14-game slate to tackle. And honestly, I think this one is tough. On…

MLB Value Index - July 20

Ugh. Thursday is not a good day to be playing MLB DFS. Four games in the early slate, five games in the late slate. I wish it would've all been open so I could concentrate all of my time Wednesday to Open Championship lineups. But if you…

MLB Value Index - July 19 (All Day)

Two big trades went down yesterday that not only affected lineups prior to lock last night, but should also affect lineups today. J.D. Martinez traded from the Tigers to the Diamondbacks. Todd Frazier traded to the New York Yankees from the…

MLB Value Index - June 18

To give you an idea of tonight's pitching options, here's what is available. A 44-year-old hefty Colon... A 38-year-old journeyman getting his second start of the season... A 38-year-old veteran, whose lost some zip on his pitches, coming…

MLB Value Index - July 17

Our first full week of baseball sans all-star break is upon us! And to kick off the week, we have a 12-game slate on tap. Pitching is OK I guess, but I am not truly in love with a lot of options. For today (and maybe some other times too)…

MLB Value Index - July 14

Oh thank god.... Baseball is back. It was only 4 days, but damn was it a long four days. I played WNBA and CFL in its stead, along with a watered down PGA field, and it still didn't fill the void. Maybe I have a problem, eh? Anyhow, who…

MLB Value Index - July 7

Well it's good to be back! Back home. Back to baseball DFS. And back to writing the Value Index. It's been a 3-day hiatus for myself as the wife and daughter went and visited family. The trip went well and culminated to a mountain of puke…

MLB Value Index - July 3

Happy American Independence Day everyone! That's as political as the Value Index gets. This week I will be out of pocket and won't return with an Index until Friday. I am SO sure you will miss me. But good luck in DFS this week and I hope…

MLB Value Index - June 30

I got cute yesterday and faded Clayton Kershaw from my cash lineups. I don't know why I did it, but I did and I am ashamed. I talked about not paying up for pitching yesterday, but it was Kershaw and I always play Kershaw in cash. Sometimes…

MLB Value Index - June 29

I've always been a person who believes you should pay up for pitching in cash games in DFS. This is my fourth season playing baseball DFS and I can honestly say that paying up for pitching has absolutely killed me. Unless it's just a play…

MLB Value Index - June 28

Welcome to another edition of the Value Index. Today we try to tackle the 13-game main slate. There's a 2-game early slate, but we aren't going to focus on it. I personally don't play 2-game slates, and much prefer 5 games or more. Anyway,…

MLB Value Index - June 27

I guess DraftKings is baiting us to pay down for bats with some of their pricing tonight. We have a 15-game slate with a slew of solid pitching options to choose from. Scherzer, C-Lo, Severino and a bunch of value are in play today. As you…
