Covering the Bases: Monday, July 2nd

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.

Monday, July 2nd

Happy Monday, Grinders! Cheese is traveling this week to visit some family out in Colorado, so I am going to be manning the ship on Monday and Friday this week in addition to the weekend duties. He mentioned that he is going to be attending a game or two at Coors Field this week, so he will have to ignore his usual “no game stack” rule and stack up the Rockies and their opponents a time or two, because those are the rules when you attend game as Coors Field!

I’ll attempt to fill Dave’s shoes as well as I can, and it helps that we are coming off a nice Sunday slate which could have been my best overall article of the season. I got several Twitter messages from some fine readers yesterday afternoon, especially those that stacked the friendly wind-aided offensive shootout at Wrigley Field. I hope these articles have helped all of you throughout the first two months of the season, as there’s nothing more fun as a content provider than reading stories about how we have helped other people. Of course, I love winning money on my own account, but the point of this article is to help you — the reader — and we love it when that works out.
