Million Dollar Musings: Wednesday, May 16th

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.

Wednesday, May 16th

Welcome to another Wonky Wednesday! The Main Slate tonight is just five games, and while the majority of the games are during the day, they have much smaller prize pools and are split up differently between the sites, with DraftKings including all nine early games, while FanDuel and FantasyDraft have only the first six. Most of the pitching choices for the early slate are in those first six games, so I’ll start there and add a brief synopsis of the next three games. We also have the weather concerns back with several of these early games, so we may end up with fewer pitching choices once again.

I’ll be back in a couple hours with a look at the evening Main Slate.

His consistent success in the NFBC tournaments earned him a prestigious spot in their Hall of Fame. Dave can also strum a mean guitar while carrying a tune, and if you’re lucky, you’ll see him do so on one of his MLB Crunch Time appearances. Follow Dave on Twitter – @DavePotts2
