MLB DFS - Million Dollar Musings - Monday, September 21st

Happy Monday and welcome to the last week of the MLB regular season. Yes, it’s already here. Feels like we should just be getting started, but we’re almost done. This week is going to be tricky, but mostly later in the week as we may see a few teams rearranging their rotations for the playoffs. I’m less concerned this season than I typically am late in the year about innings being limited leading into the playoffs. In a normal year, starters would be up around 200 innings at this point, and stamina is an issue. But this year, most pitchers are just now starting to round into mid-season form, so I have no expectation of pitchers being held back enough to matter. While we’ve already had several teams clinch playoff berths and a few more teams eliminated, a majority of teams are either in the hunt or playing for seeding. If there are situations that call for caution later in the week, we’ll discuss it, but for now, it’s just another Monday night.

We start a few minutes early tonight with DK’s main slate starting at 6:37pm ET, while FD and Yahoo start at the typical 7:05pm and includes just six games.
