Million Dollar Musings: Friday, May 10th

Is your lineup Premium Approved? In this space, CheeseIsGood, STLCardinals84, or fathalpert 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, May 10th

Happy Friday! We’ve got a big 14-game slate with everything you could want. We’ve got aces and we’ve got gas cans, we’ve got hitters parks and we’ve got pitchers parks. We’ve got totals ranging from 7-10.5 and everywhere in between.

Let’s start sorting through all this, but first, a quick pause for a Deep Thought by Jack Handey to start the day off right:

“You know something that would really make me applaud? A guy gets stuck in quicksand, then sinks, then suddenly come shooting out, riding on water skis! How do they do that?!”

Friday Night Pitching

There is a lot of good pitching on this slate, and it comes with varying degrees of matchup difficulty. The gaps between the top couple tiers are quite small, and you could have these guys in different buckets, but just for the sake of sorting, I’m going to group them by 2019 strikeout rate, and then will look at the matchups to move them up and down.
