Million Dollar Musings: Monday, June 11th

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, June 11th

This is an interesting eight-game Monday slate. We have a large group of solid pitching without the must-play expensive aces, which should spread out ownership. We also have one of the most egregious, nonsensical salaries for a particular favorite hitter on mine on DK/FDRFT that should make for some fun writing, as well as starting pitcher with a 31:39 K:BB ratio, proving once again that anyone can realize their dream of becoming a major league pitcher .

But, since it’s Steven Wright day (!), and it’s Monday, let’s start here:

“Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life.” – Steven Wright (the comedian)
