I have returned from a yearly outing with some ole buddies and ready to get back into the DFS fold.
I also have one week left before I am thrust into the daily routine of education (aka work), so I hope to make this week count even more.

PITCHERS
Dinelson Lamet – vs. Baltimore Orioles – $6,600
Analysis: So since we have 7 games, I am staying away from Coors bats altogether on the Index because, come on, that’s just too easy and a cop out. So my preface here is that they will certainly be first in line for my lineups, hence why I love Lamet today. I love Lamet since he was called up. He provides strikeout upside as evidenced by his 14.73 K/9 vs. righties and 9.00 K/9 vs. lefties. He draws the Orioles today in San Diego, who 24th in team wOBA and strikeout 23% of the time. Considering the offense behind him will draw a bullpen game from one of the worst bullpens in the majors, Lamet has W upside on FanDuel.
