Million Dollar Musings: Friday, July 20th

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 20th

Happy Post All-Star Break Friday! I hope you’ve enjoyed a few days of something different, I had some much needed downtime, but always ready to get back to it.

The majority of this article will not be posted until the usual time on Friday, but I wanted to get in early and post a few quick thoughts on the Friday slate for those of you looking to get a head start. I’ll add to this article throughout the day on Thursday, and then you can check back for the full analysis on Friday. Some of the pitchers I’ve mentioned here are not yet confirmed, so some of these comparisons and tentative rankings may change.

FRIDAY NIGHT PITCHING

HI HO BAUERTHE LONE RANGER-BEATING ACE

Trevor Bauer at Rangers – With Strasburg coming off the DL from a shoulder injury and a still limited Syndergaard in Yankee Stadium, Trevor Bauer is the lone DFS ace on the Friday slate, but we’re really being asked to pay for it.
