CheeseIsGood's Million Dollar Musings: Monday, August 2nd
Happy Monday, Happy August, Happy Day! We open this week with a small seven-game slate that lacks much excitement on either side. We’re ace-less on the pitching side, but still left with only a couple offenses that look to be in ideal spots. We’ve also a new Single-Entry Series starting on FanDuel at a $5 entry, so be sure to jump in that if you play on FD. Without further ado, let’s jump in and see if we can find anything to get excited about. If not, there’s always lunch!
