Million Dollar Musings: Saturday, May 27
CheeseIsGood, a two-time winner of a $1,000,000 first-place prize in DFS, is here to give you his musings on the upcoming MLB DFS slate. Whether you are looking for the top pitchers or the best stacks, Cheese has you covered with an extensive deep dive into his MLB DFS picks.
Happy Saturday Everyone! Cards is off for a travel day, so you’ll be stuck with me for this busy Saturday where the sites are not aligning at all with their slates. DK has an early 10-game slate at 1:05pm ET and then a 5-game evening slate at 7:15pm ET. FD has one main slate with the 7-games starting at 4:05pm ET.
The way I’m going to handle this for analysis is to split things up based on those two DK slates. The seven games on the FD slate are also a part of the early DK slate, so all those games will be touched on, and then I’ll separate my thoughts on DK vs. FD in the Cliff Notes.
