MLB Daily Grind Down May 2nd
The RotoGrinders MLB Grind Down article will give you an in-depth analysis into the MLB schedule. This article will break down the numbers for every single game and give you analysis on which trends you can exploit.
While matchups are a major factor in daily fantasy baseball, there are plenty of other factors to consider such as injuries, weather, and salaries. The analysis should point you in the right direction, but it is still up to you to decipher the information and make your own selections. No sport has more variance than baseball. The best choice is not always the right choice but following the trends will win you money over time.
Happy Thursday to you Grinders. I am flying high off my strong showing on Wednesday on DraftStreet. A late Nick Hundley HR ended my chances of winning the Big Score but I am happy with a top five finish. There are other big scores to be had this MLB season so let’s get back to the daily grind. Chase Headley gets my call as the player of the day today. He is always a factor on the road and has been red hot over the last couple of days in Wrigley. Look for him to continue his success today.
