Rise & Grind: April 18th, 2014
Welcome to the RotoGrinders cup o’morning joe. Start your day off on the right foot with yesterday’s happenings and take a peek at the the upcoming day in the world of DFS.
So kick back, grab your first cup of coffee, and catch up on the latest news!
In Case You Missed It
- Sick FantasyElite Promo – Our friends over at FantasyElite are throwing a pretty sick promo for the NBA Playoffs. In addition to instant deposit bonuses, they’re offering extra prizes (that are doubled for RG members) to the players with the most wins and the most money won over the course of the playoffs. Check out all the details in this post for more information.
- Runs, Runs, Everywhere – You didn’t need a crazy fan like the one in today’s gif to keep you entertained with yesterday’s baseball. Everyone talks about how hitting is down in recent history, but there were seven different teams with 7 or more runs scored last night. There were plenty of home runs to go around as well, and if you played the obvious Yankees stack against David Price (duh) you probably had a good night.
Today’s Events
- Today’s Action – There’s a full 15 game schedule in the Majors tonight, but keep in mind that the game between the Reds and the Cubs starts at 2:20 Eastern. FanDuel has a game set that includes this game, but it looks like DraftKings is leaving it out today. There are three games on the ice tonight if you’re looking for some NHL action, but that’s the only other game in town.
- Today’s GPP’s – Tons of games to go around tonight, so you shouldn’t have trouble finding any action. FanDuel is running a $10 qualifier for the DFBC in addition to their $125k Monster and the $60k Strikeout. Over on DraftKings, the third qualifier for their Atlantis Championship event is running at a $200 buy in. They also have a $100k Perfect Game and a $50k Payoff Pitch running tonight, so there are plenty of options at all buy in levels. Last but not least, the finals in the StarStreet Streak to the Mansion tourney is running tonight if you’re interested in following along. They also have a few satellites to the upcoming PBC qualifiers in the lobby, which is a great way to win yourself a seat to an epic party at the Playboy mansion at a discount.
