MLB Value Index - August 15

Today is a very pretty slate. We have nearly a full slate of games with the Astros and Indians playing early for the second day in a row. But 14 games is basically a full slate and there are some solid pitching options at the top and in the…

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 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 - 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 - 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 15 (Evening)

Chris Sale at $14.1K on DraftKings today...wow. But he's facing the Phillies, but in a small ball park. Sale seems like an elite lock today, but damn that's high. We haven't seen a pitcher priced that high all year on DraftKings. Anyway,…

MLB - Industry Expert Consensus - August 2nd

A full fifteen games for Tuesday. The Consensus provides a wealth of options at the pitching position. Those include paying up for a top-tier ace in Fernandez, Bumgarner or deGrom. A middle tier of Cole, Wainwright and Carrasco or a cheap option…

MLB - Industry Expert Consensus - July 25th

Eleven games for this Monday night. There are some potential trouble spots with the weather so make sure to check that prior to lock. The Consensus offers a lot of selection tonight as we have at least four players at each position. There are…

MLB - Industry Expert Consensus - July 19th

We are several experts short of a full deck once again tonight. That means less Consensus plays and lower numbers in the parenthesis again tonight. It sure didn't stop Carlos Martinez from being an overwhelming favorite at the pitcher position…

MLB - Industry Expert Consensus - July 18th

The experts are bunched up in several different spots tonight as almost all of our Consensus plays show up in our "Top Stacks" options at the bottom. Several favorable matchups and an 11-game schedule will do that. If you like power, we have…

MLB – Industry Expert Consensus – July 8th

There are a ton of high-priced Ace pitching options on tonight’s full 15-game slate but the experts seem to zero in on two in particular with Jose Fernandez and Chris Sale being selected the most often. Meanwhile, there are only three hitters’…

MLB – Industry Expert Consensus – June 27th

Here is the Industry Expert Consensus picks for tonight’s 10-game slate which features games at hitter-friendly stadiums in Colorado, Arizona and Cincinnati. So it should be no surprise that three of the top stackable teams are playing in…
