INDUSTRY FORUM

Coors field slates can drive DFS players crazy.. 46 runs in 4 games for the Nationals. I do not like
it at all that half the season revolves around one stadium. It is more of a problem for cash games
you almost have no choice but to stack the field or lose. It just gets boring and takes away
from the strategy.
My suggestion is for the industry is to give us a choice. Similar to the way FD gives you the option
of late swap or no late swap, they should give us the option of including or excluding Coors field.
For example If it is a 15 game slate just give the option of a 14 game slate minus Coors.
No matter how high the salaries go there will be a majority of Coors stacks every time the Rockies
are at home.
Any thoughts?

They got a cease and desist from the proprietor of the site who offers it, who apparently devised it himself. DBD said it will still show if you have a subscription to that other site, which I’m not about to pay for just for that stat alone. I don’t even know the site

It clearly says Carlos Gonzalez has an OPS of .759 at home vs. .661 on the road…not .930 like you said. Everyone stats you mentioned is compeltely off.

If Gonzalez had an OPS of .930 at home, he wouldn’t have that crappy of stats overall. You are off by like 200 points, which is the difference between an All Star and a below average player

Wow that is crazy I did not realize that. Amazing what altitude does to a baseball.
If I was a pitcher drafted by the Rockies I would find another profession.

Carlos Gonzalez doesn’t have an OPS of .930 at home this year……and his stats about Story are wrong too.

But I hope you guys believe he does since you guys can keep choosing him.

After reading all the post and giving it more thought I basically agree with what you are saying as long as the salaries reflect the Coors effect to give players pause before automatically stacking.

Remember last year when the Padres got shut out their first 3 home games
then went to Coors and scored 32 runs in 3 games. Definitely a bad team
exploding.

I mean, fangraphs has it at .757. Wtf. Why does DK even show these stats if they’re just misleading people? I just went to a handy option to check, saw what it had, and accepted it. ffs.

DKs SLG doesn’t even add up, and they don’t show HBP or SF so I can’t calculate how they got their OBP. I think it’s pretty fucked if they’re showing incorrect stats.

2017 Rockies at home: .862 (leads MLB)
2017 Rockies on the road: .694 (28th)
2016 Rockies at home: .885 (led MLB)
2016 Rockies on the road: .700 (25th)

and so on.

Horrible rebuttal.

None of the guys you mentioned were “priced up” for Coors. Dudes were the same price area the game prior in not Coors field.

Yea DK messed up. Not your fault. But I was just saying the stats you cited were wrong. The difference in team OPS has mostly to do with Blackmon and Arenado not CarSuck.

He’s right. Kurt Suzuki was 3.6k yesterday and Nick Marsakis was 3.7k yesterday and even higher today. That’s a joke. They should be 3k. But people didn’t see this and chose them LOL. Kurt Suzuki is a AAA level catcher.

If they weren’t priced up from the game before, it’s cause the game before they were mispriced because they were definitely priced up for Coors. The funny thing is they are even higher this game. Good luck guys stacking that garbage.

Oh you might be right. I didn’t play the previous 2 weeks so I haven’t kept track of Braves’ prices, so you might be right. Anyways, it still doesn’t matter. I can then argue that they were mispriced over the previous 2 weeks (by being too high), and yesterday was just “correction” for playing at Coors (but still “high” given the end result).

Wow that’s an amazing discovery by you and NoLimits0. Lol, this is pretty bad on DK’s part IMO. I have actually looked at those numbers from time to time (especially for NBA, but sometimes for MLB), so I have a major problem with that.

I think I know the error is. It’s the SLG part (the BA and OBP seem fine). Since SLG is wrong, it makes OPS wrong since OPS is OBP + SLG.

I don’t even know what to say, but that’s egregious on DK’s part.

You should check Suzuki’s stats. He’s been good this season. .246 iso , .355 woba, 117 WRC+. Yesterday he was 3400, a catcher going against a not great pitcher who hasn’t pitched in a year in Coors batting 5th. How was he overpriced? Tonight he’s projected by RG to be a top 10 pp$ play.

Except he’s not starting. He’s had a few lucky weeks but he’s not gonna keep up his season numbers. I doubt he’ll be getting more than 2 starts a week two weeks from now.

I didn’t expect him to be good either but those stats are over 200 plate appearances. Why would the Braves not want to play him? He’s been one of their best batters when he plays.

From JM article:
FanDuel’s decision to stick to only the earliest games today resulted in Coors Field missing from their main slate. Because Coors can create such a mess in MLB, I doubt many people are complaining.

I think both sides have valid points on this but I wouldn’t mind slates that are non- Coors. Cant hurt — just more choice

More choices = smaller tournaments and payouts. So I do think more choices can hurt in that respect.
