MLB DFS - Million Dollar Musings - Opening Night 2020!
IT. IS. TIME. MLB Opening Day!! 2020 has been quite a jabroni-ish ride so far, but we’re about to get rewarded for our patience. MLB is back in our lives, and though it will be a short, unusual season, we’ll take it! We’ve also got NBA and NHL coming back in the next couple weeks, so DFS is going to be a busy place.
As excited as we all are to have baseball back, I want to caution you against going overboard on this Opening Night 2-game slate. We have a couple of huge contests up, and they are enticing, but there is virtually no strategy or edge to a contest with 100,000+ entries on a 2-game slate. It’s fun, and somebody has to win, but it’s really just pretty silly. As we’ll discuss throughout the season, I personally don’t play cash games on 2-game slates, and even the smaller tournaments just have basically no way to get around playing the chalk, and even if you do go contrarian, the “lower owned” options are not even all that low owned on small slates. Once the season really gets underway on Friday, these articles will only include slates of 4+ games, but this is no ordinary Thursday night. I planned to write about two short paragraphs for this opening slate, but I guess I’m excited about baseball, so it’s longer than it needs to be. Again, there really isn’t much to see here as this is a very straight-forward slate. The Cliff Notes are probably enough here, but anyway…
