Covering The Bases: Friday, July 6th

Is your lineup Premium Approved? In this space, either CheeseIsGood or STLCardinals84 will break down the slate from top-to-bottom like no one else in the industry can – exploring the matchups from every angle, steering you toward the best plays on the day, and helping you become a better and more complete DFS player as you continually expose yourself to the “process” and the “why,” rather than just looking at the “what.” Have a boat? We’ll teach you how to fish.

Friday, July 6th

Well, it’s Friday, though I’m not really sure what day of the week it truly “feels” like at this point. The mid-week fourth of July holiday has been throwing me off all week, but Friday is definitely upon us now. That means we have a whopper of a baseball slate tonight, with every team in action on the main evening slate except the Reds and Cubs, who are playing a matinee game at Wrigley Field. Still, with 14 games on the docket, there’s plenty to analyze and break down.

Your usual friend Cheese is traveling back from his holiday getaway with family and friends, so I’ll have you covered for this evening and for my usual days on the weekend. Let’s roll.
