MLB $400K Tuesday Full Count Review: Tuesday, June 20th
The Grinder review series will provide the reader with a breakdown of the exposures of “top of the leaderboard” players, the top single-entry lineup, and a comparison between all single-entry lineups and professionals for large slate DraftKings GPPs.
This week, we looked at the Tuesday Full Count [$50K to 1st!] on DraftKings with a buy-in of $55 and maximum entry limit of 150 lineups per person.
Multi-Entry Grinders of the Game
CheeseIsGood only played five lineups in total and cashed in four of them. With not many lineups to work with, he banked on a handful of key players and spread rest the rest out by playing single players in prime matchups. His 13th place finish featured many of his highly owned picks who ended up being quite low owned. It was a great finish on a night where there were other great single player performances, such as Corey Seager hitting 3 HR and totaling 53 points.
As can be expected over 150 lineups, ehafner had a diverse ownership with a concentration around a select few teams: CHC, CLE, LAD, PIT, & TOR. As he spent a good bit of salary on top pitching option Chris Sale, so he had to pick out his favorites from a number of middling teams instead of just slotting in the Yankees, Cardinals, and others. Ehafner finished with a solid 50.7% cash rate and managed to follow that up with a 1st, 4th, and 6th place finishes.
Rayofhope may have fell asleep a tad early or just wanted to go all out as he entered the GPP 66 times, but only kept one lineup. It can be seen below in all its glory:
Single-Entry Winner of the Game
Souvlaki took down a 15th place finish with a single lineup which mainly consisted of the Dodgers (aided by Seager’s 53 points) and Minnesota stacks. His value pitcher was valued heavily by the pros and produced on just a $5500 salary.
