Covering the Bases: Friday, June 1st

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, June 1st

Greetings, MLB Grinders! For those of you who only play MLB DFS during the week, this may be the first time you are reading my content in this space. If that is the case, welcome! Dave has been kind enough to swap days with me, as I will be traveling all day tomorrow — we are taking our two boys to Disney World for the first time, so that should be… interesting. Therefore, I will have you covered today, while Dave will be on duty tomorrow.

We have our usual loaded Friday night MLB slate on tap today, and there is plenty to discuss both on the mound and at the plate. There are also some juicy DFS tournaments out there this evening, so we have a lot to discuss. Let’s get right down to business!
