Any chance we get contests on DK for the WBC? Seems like a slim chance since they have never done spring training games but we did get Olympic golf and basketball contests as well as the fact that they run preseason NBA and NFL contests. Can’t wait for baseball to be back!

Draft Kings has them today.

I had to use google translate, but this is a good source since it has all of the WBC Stadiums

Thanks a bunch

Tough choices tonight, it’s almost like picking from two all star games. Only team I’m avoiding is Columbia, so they will probably score 10.

I like the home team…

USA played 1 game vs a righty, 1 vs a lefty. They face Quintana tonight so I’d expect something similar to what they rolled out vs the Red Sox on Thur

Yelich
Jones
Arenado
Goldy
Murphy
Stanton
Lucroy
Crawford
Kinsler

edit- Updated lu. Also seems unlikely Yelich will be in there. Mccutch seems more likely. I’d expect Kinsler to lead off and Mccutch to hit 8th or 9th. 50/50 on Posey or Lucroy starting

Any Vegas odds for tonight’s games?

Vegas lines and pitchers were posted last page

Thank you.

Thoughts on SP2? Throw a dart at a USA reliever? I haven’t seen anything to indicate who might throw today. There are 9 pitchers, so if Archer goes 4 innings, it would be safe to assume 5 of them see 1 inning.

US lineup is reported here by Marc Topkin: https://twitter.com/TBTimes_Rays/status/840295334681202688

US lineup: Kinsler 2b, Jones cf, Arenado 3b, Goldschmidt 1b, Posey c, Stanton RF, Murphy DH, McCutchen LF, Crawford ss, #Rays Archer p

Stanton batting 6th in his own park? Is this a joke?

I imagine most will use Felix at sp2 since once again salary isn’t much of a concern.

Agreed that most will use Felix, but he’s going to get rocked.

As for SP2 it does suck today. Ill be doing about 70% Archer Felix and stacking the USA and VEN then about 30% Archer Quintana and stacking the late game.

Id love to know if both Odor and Altuve will be in the lineup.

Also anyone think the big $3 is going to fill? Only about half full. If not I will be adding a ton more entries.

Im rolling out USA relievers over any of the starters not named Archer

Tough call with USA relievers or just relievers in general. It’s too early to give any reliever more than an inning or two tops and you have to pick the right one to come in the game and get a few strikeouts.

Salary is most definitely a concern…

I don’t think it will. It’s on the top of the main page on draftkings above all the NBA tourneys when I checked earlier, which would lead me to think they are worried about it not filling. I think worst case scenario we are at least playing without rake today…

I’m pondering the same thing. Sucks I’ll be at dinner as the first game is locking.
