Rise & Grind, June 10th 2014
Welcome to the RotoGrinders cup o’morning joe. Start your day off on the right foot with yesterday’s happenings and take a peek at the the upcoming day in the world of DFS.
So kick back, grab your first cup of coffee, and catch up on the latest news!
In Case You Missed It
- DraftCheat to Vegas – On one of the most ridiculously high scoring nights I’ve seen in a long time, DraftCheat had a team that went absolutely nuts for 100 FanDuel points. If you wanted to win a GPP last night you needed to have a piece of Lonnie Chisenhall and his three dong night. Not only did DraftCheat have him, he had a total of 5 out of 9 players score double digit fantasy points. It was a crazy night in DFS MLB, but either way the Cheat is off to Vegas.
Today’s Events
- Tonight’s Action – We’re back to a full 15 game schedule on this Tuesday in the world of baseball. The Astros and Diamondbacks get things started early this afternoon with a 3:40 EST start time, but other than that the rest of games start at the standard 7 PM start time or later. The NBA Finals move to Miami tonight with Game 3 of the Heat/Spurs Championship. The series is tied up 1-1 as we head to the Heat’s home court, and the Spurs are going to have to take 1 or 2 on the road if they want to stop the three-peat.
Today’s GPPs
Here’s a quick snapshot of some of the biggest games out there. Here’s hoping that tonight you find yourself Cruzin’ To Victory!
