Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings, and DraftStreet 4/10/14

Posted by on Apr 10, 2014 in Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks, featured | 0 comments

Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings, and DraftStreet 4/10/14 A short slate in hoops means all eyez are on Baseball today. Should be increased action on a day that's relatively tough - this means big money for those who pick wisely. A quick note - our baseball product for FanDuel is LIVE!. It's going to be free until the end of the regular season in basketball - so PLEASE, if you have any feedback, we'd love to hear it! Be sure to sign up for a free 3-day trial to access the NBA system and spreadsheets that help produce our picks. And give a follow on Twitter @dailyfantasysr. A little note about baseball picks If you're coming over from basketball - welcome. If you're a lifelong fantasy baseball player, welcome. I want to give a quick heads up about how we are going to do our baseball picks. Unlike basketball, contextual information matters very little baseball. Guys rarely take days off, and "playing well recently" means almost nothing. Playing time hardly ever changes (unlike in basketball where guys can increase their opportunities by 50% on a coach's whim), and when it does, it's fairly obvious. So, we're going to be giving picks each day without huge write-ups. The only thing that changes about a player in a given day (for the most part) is the park he's playing in and the pitcher he is facing. Most of the other stuff is noise, unless a player has drastically changed his position in the lineup. For pitchers, all that really matters is who they are facing, which park, and if they've been recently injured. We cool? Let's do it. Pitchers Danny Salazar FanDuel 6900 DraftKings 0 DraftStreet 19555 While I don't love the ballpark, I DO love the match-up. The White Sox were dead last in the league in OPS against right handers last year, and strike out frequently against them as well. The Indians should also crush Danks, so I think Salazar's a beautiful play. Dan Straily FanDuel 6000 DraftKings 8700 DraftStreet 15451 The Twins are among the very worst teams in the AL against right handed pitching, and Straily is absolutely capable of producing the W here. A cheap play that could easily produce 12+ FP and save you money to spend on hitters. Randall Delgado FanDuel 4600 DraftKings 6700 DraftStreet 7682 My sneaky play of the day - Delgado's major weakness (the homer) is mitigated by pitching in San Francisco, and the opposing pitcher (Vogelsong) couldn't escape with a win when being spotted an 8 run lead his last time out. Not expecting huge numbers, mind you, but several innings and a win would easily pay these...

Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings, and DraftStreet 4/9/14 A funny day, with some discounted prices on superstars, some shallow positions, and some excellent bargain-basement pitching. A lot of possible mistakes to be made today, so dive into the picks and avoid the pitfalls. A quick note - our baseball product for FanDuel is LIVE!. It's going to be free until the end of the regular season in basketball - so PLEASE, if you have any feedback, we'd love to hear it!

Let's do it.   Pitchers Brandon Morrow FanDuel 5100 DraftKings 8400 DraftStreet 17668 Morrow has killed more fantasy teams of mine than any man should have to endure. I feel like I know, and hate, the guy personally. The thing is, that strikeout stuff plays better against Houston than just about anything, and Toronto should make quick work of Lucas Harrell. Easily my top play today. Zach McAllister FanDuel 5200 DraftKings 0 DraftStreet 14420 DraftKings was behind the ball in getting the CLE/SD makeup game on the schedule, but McCallister makes a great play on the other two sites. He's not a world beater, but San Diego's anemic lineup shouldn't do a heck of a lot to him, anyway. Throw in Cleveland's ability to smash lefties and they should do pretty well in this one - giving McCallister a shot at some decent innings and a win. Wandy Rodriguez FanDuel 5100 DraftKings 7700 DraftStreet 15429 It's just not a day to spend on pitching, to me. The Cubs managed just a...

Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks for FanDuel, Draftkings, and Draftstreet 4/8/14 A huge day for baseball, and a lot of big tourneys for big cash. Interestingly, though, not a ton of terrific plays today. Luckily, you've come to the place that has them all in one convenient article! A quick note - our baseball product for FanDuel is LIVE!. It's going to be free until the end of the regular season in basketball - so PLEASE, if you have any feedback, we'd love to hear it!

Pitchers Corey Kluber FanDuel 6000 DraftKings 7300 DraftStreet 17596 Easily my favorite pitcher play of the day, and he'll be a monstrous start everywhere. The Dads are a horrendous 28th in the majors vs. right handed pitching, and Kluber is no slouch of a righty to begin with. Nice potential for Ks, IP, and the eventual W. Gio Gonzalez FanDuel 8300 DraftKings 9900 DraftStreet 20886 I prefer Kluber to Gio, but if you are fixing to spend at pitcher (and I know a lot of you are), I love Gio over Scherzer or Bailey. The reason? Opponent, baby. Of the three, Gio has the best match-up by a country mile. The Marlins were shockingly bad against lefties last year, only missing last place to the Mariners by .06 OPS points. Trevor Cahill FanDuel 5300 DraftKings 7400 DraftStreet 10089This might seem like an odd play, given what happened to Cahill his last time out against the Giants - but there's a big difference in this one. The...

Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks for FanDuel, Draftkings, and Draftstreet 4/7/14

Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks for FanDuel, Draftkings, and Draftstreet for 4/7/14 A relatively light day today, and if you have followed our basketball picks, you know that we are PUMPED about days like today. Fewer games means fewer good plays, and great likelihood of mistake making from our mortal enemies. With great delight, I move on to the picks. A quick note - our baseball product for FanDuel is LIVE!. It's going to be free until the end of the regular season in basketball - so PLEASE, if you have any feedback, we'd love to hear it!

Pitchers Corey Kluber FanDuel 6000 DraftKings 7300 DraftStreet 17596 The Indians crush lefties, and should make quick work of Robbie Erlin. Kluber also happens to be awesome, and the Padres were the 3rd worst team in the league against right handed pitching last year. Essentially an ideal match up. C.J. Wilson FanDuel 6800 DraftKings 9400 DraftStreet 20258 Wilson draws the Astros - who were 20th in the league in OPS vs. left handers last year. Throw in Houston's neutral park, and you've got another terrific pitcher matchup. Scott Kazmir FanDuel 6200 DraftKings 9000 DraftStreet 19709 Kazmir picked up where he left off (and then some) from last year against Cleveland, and draws a much more favorable match-up against the Twins. Cleveland was #1 in the league vs. lefties last year, and Minnesota ranked 18th. Catchers Brian McCann FanDuel 3600 DraftKings 4200 DraftStreet 5366 Jimenez has potential to have a nice game in this one,...
