MLB Value Index - August 22

Can you see this question? I guess you weren't blinded by yesterday's solar eclipse or you just didn't care? While some were overjoyed by the experience, I was busy hauling ass in my office trying to get things done. I did stop for a brief…

MLB Value Index - August 11

Back at it for a full-slate Friday, we are! Make picks, I will. Talk like Yoda, I'll stop. We have 15 games in the majors and pitching is lackluster. There's one clear top option and he makes today's Index. But before we get to the picks,…

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 24

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…

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 23

Friday brings us a full slate of MLB action tonight. There are plenty of pitching options to choose from, and if you are playing on DraftKings, you may notice that many of the top hitters are priced up. So for this particular edition of the…

MLB Value Index - June 22 (All Day)

After a two-day absence, I am happy to be back to talk fantasy baseball. Having a guys retreat definitely was fun and nice way to recharge the ol' DFS battery. Today we have 12 games, but split into two slates with 6 early and 6 late games. Both…

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 Value Index - June 14

If you are playing the early slate today, you play Bryce Harper. He's facing Julio Teheran and if you don't know by now, Harper owns him. Harper is 15-for-33 with 3 doubles, 7 HRs, 17 RBIs, 5 BBs and a steal. He can do it all against Teheran,…

MLB - Industry Expert Consensus - August 26th

The Blue Jays are back on top of the stacks with Joey Bats back in the fold. The usual suspects show up from the Jays lineup to create the top stack on the board for the night. If I would have told you that David Phelps would be picked by 12…

MLB - Industry Expert Consensus - July 5th

An afternoon start at Wrigley leaves us with a 14-gamer on Tuesday. There will be three consecutive afternoon starts at Wrigley this week and another on Friday so that does not enable us to use those big boppers in the Cubs lineup to pick on…

MLB - Industry Expert Consensus - June 15th

It's good to be back. I felt the pain that some folks feel by not being able to even play DFS the last few days. I spent Saturday-Tuesday in Mississippi and Alabama, both of which have outlawed DFS. Even with that said, I'll be in Texas the…
