Good night for my pitcher recommendations last night with Jake Arrieta, Jose Quintana and Jeff Samardjiza all coming through with 27+ DraftKings points each. Nick Tropeano started out well but fell victim to the long ball by a couple of the only potent bats in the Brewers lineup. Oh well, can’t win them all I…
I had positive results with my recommendations last week including 7 2/3 innings of no-hit baseball from my Darkhorse pick, Adam Conley, on Friday to increase my DailyOverlay score and remain in first place in the overall standings. However, baseball can be unpredictable sometimes and I know that I cannot rest on my laurels or…
Congrats to DailyOverlay founder, Greg Peters (vengven) for winning the Mega Payoff Pitch on DraftKings Wednesday night using the two cheap pitching recommendations I gave in my On the Hill article (Scott Kazmir and Steven Wright). Always nice to hear when your recommendations help others succeed. Tonight we’ll get back at it with another large…
Well, I guess I was fooled twice by picking back-to-back Royals’ pitchers against the Angels the last two days, so shame on me. Looking at tonight’s slate there is one true Ace that stands out in Jake Arrieta. Also, be sure to check the weather reports leading up to game-time tonight as my top two…
A full 15-game slate tonight with a lot of aces taking the mound. After weeding through them all I think you should save some salary and pay down to get one of the cheaper aces unless you can find a ton of value hitters to pay up for Clayton Kershaw. Ace David Price (FD-$9,400 /…
It is nice to see that my pitcher recommendations are doing so well in the Overall Leaderboard this season. Be sure to check out Matt’s lasted column reporting on the Expert Grading so far this season. We’ll try to keep it going this week including calling out two Darkhorse candidates tonight as there are big…
Maybe I should just start recommending only my Darkhorse pitchers. With a great outing by Drew Pomeranz on Wednesday, my Darkhorse pitchers have the best DailyOverlay score of any type of my selections and are averaging just 2.47 less DK points then my Ace pitcher recommendations. Well, I’m not willing to give up on my…
Rough night for my pitcher recommendations last night except for my Darkhorse, Logan Verrett, who came through with a good outing at a cheap price. My impression so far this season is that my Darkhorse picks were performing very well, even better than my Ace and Value plays in many cases so I have started…
Big slate of 13 games tonight in the MLB but not many true ace level pitchers on the mound, so I expect the pitcher recommendations by the experts to be all over the board tonight. These kind of nights are when you might want to spread out your exposure a little bit between a group…
My Darkhorse picks continue to pitch better than my Ace selections so far this week with Brandon Finnegan outscoring Max Scherzer on Monday and Robbie Erlin outscoring Corey Kluber yesterday (using DraftKings scoring). While I am glad that my Darkhorse pitchers are doing well, I am disappointed that my Ace of the night has been…
With a big slate of 10 games tonight there are a lot of different ways you can go at pitcher. There are three Aces on the hill including Corey Kluber, Jose Fernandez and Noah Syndergaard who are all in good spots to put up solid fantasy production. Also now that we have some 2016 data…
Chalk up another good call from my gut on Friday with Chris Tillman pitching five innings of one-run baseball with five strikeouts and a win to be one of the top pitchers on the Friday night slate. I’m sure there will be more gut calls as the season progresses but tonight I am sticking to…
