Million Dollar Musings: Monday, May 6th

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.

Monday, May 6th

I hope you all enjoyed your holiday of choice between May The Fourth, Cinco De Mayo, and what I lovingly refer to as ‘Saturday’ and ‘Sunday’. We are back to work with a nine-game slate tonight. There are a couple of games starting early, but the main slates are focused on the usual 7:05 ET start time, so that’s where we’ll focus as well. I will be on Crunch Time tonight at 6:15 ET, so tune in for any last minute thoughts.

Aces, Aces, Aces

We are loaded up top with four of the best pitchers in the game, and three more pitchers that can get close to ace level in the right matchups. This doesn’t even include Trevor Bauer, who would be added to the top tier in all-day slates. I’ll give you my thoughts on these groups, but with pitchers this good, there’s not much to separate them.
