Early Slate

We have another Saturday full of baseball today, but the sites have each treated the early games differently. FanDuel has skipped the early games and created a four-game Early Slate starting at 3:05PM ET, DraftKings has two slates – a 1:05PM ET “turbo” slate and then a 4:05PM ET four-game slate, and FantasyDraft has treated the six earliest games as one large Early Slate starting at 1:05PM ET. With different options and strategies in play, I’ll go site-by-site for the Early Slate analysis.
