MLB DFS tournament play is unlike that of any other sport. Predicting outcomes with precision is difficult, and player variance is near its peak. There are special considerations when constructing lineups in order for you to find success in the long term. Each weekday, our DFS analysts will examine a specific tournament format and help you understand the application of strategy, via concepts such as pitcher pairings, roster construction, stacking, leverage, ownership, variance, and more.

Tuesday, April 2nd

It’s Twenty Lineup Tuesday! I detailed my strategy for diversifying 150 lineups on DK yesterday, and wasn’t successful at reaching the first place pinnacle. I did manage to hover around even, which is never a terrible thing in a top heavy GPP. We’ll see if we can do even better here tonight focusing on some different structures.

Today, the article will be focused on a few GPPs across the industry that I will enter with 20 lineups or fewer. There is a 5-Max GPP on DraftKings for $55 that looks like fun to me, and I will also look to dip the toe into discussing the 20 max there. There is also a smaller 5-Max contest on Fanduel you might consider, as well as the $10 qualifier for the WFBC. Every slate on Yahoo! is 10 max, so we’ll talk in general terms about that site.
