MLB DFS - Million Dollar Musings - Monday, September 14th

Happy Monday! This abbreviated season is flying by, and we’re already down to just two weeks left in the regular season. Weird time. Speaking of weird times, the DK Main Slate starts at 4:10pm ET today, and will include seven games, three of which are the first half of doubleheaders. FanDuel is splitting things up into two three-game slates, with no doubleheaders included, but both slates contain the same two games, just with one different game on either side to account for the time changes. On Yahoo, their main slate is the three later games starting at 7:35pm.

None of this is ideal for content, but we’ll walk through all the games here and sort it out by site as needed. On the DK slate, we do need to account for the difference in innings, as three of these games will only play seven innings, a clear downgrade to offense. I’m going to attempt to be a little less wordy than usual in order to get this out early enough to be helpful for these strange start times.
