depends on what youre playing. If its a cash game you need to know pitchers have much less variance in luck than batters. Go with a proven pitcher in the 50/50s, triple ups. GPP you win money by finding the wild cards. Ive cashed 85% of my 50/50s this week because the pitchers cap hits are pretty identical, ive just put out the aces and built my hitting on good matchups. Strike outs pay big on draft kings, wins pay big on FD.

in a pool like the 75k play today you gotta take chances on SPers, whoever wins will have Bauer as their SP for today

Makes total sense I'm going to employ this strategy..

Also just took first in a 10 team league with this lineup

Norris could be a good play in tourney tonight. Yankees sometimes have a hard time with young unknown pitchers. Plus he has dat strikeout potential.

Don't have time to put a lineup together though

Norris may be the "trendy" pick for tonight so i'm staying clear, i know he was the pick on the xm radio shows i listen to but due to that i'm staying clear.

Jesus Kennedy injured

I quit fantasy for a week I swear

Jesus Kennedy injured

I quit fantasy for a week I swear

Wtf happened?

[Trapstar4.4]

god damn....at least he is high owned

and chances are those that didnt roster him will still have at least 1 dud pitcher. on dk at least

[SoutheastBeast1]

At least fatbathia getting exposed as planned

[SoutheastBeast1]

Wtf happened?

Was watching on MLB network

He threw a pitch kind of walked around painfully, trainer came out he left

And I turned it off, lol

[SoutheastBeast1]

Watching Kimbrel pitching in another uniform for the first time right now

Part of me has died tonight

[saaltydog]

Kimbrel gonna Kimbrel

[SoutheastBeast1]

Kimbrel gonna Kimbrel

In after Houdini act

U mad?

Kimbrel doing work!! Still the best.

[saaltydog]

Good for him. I'm happy he's finally with a classy organization with a real shot at winning.

[saaltydog]

Went 1 for 2 tonight on the 50\50s. The Kennedy injury killed my one entry. Over all a good day considering I got first in that league.

[SoutheastBeast1]

You would think your words would hurt me but they don't.

[melanimal_old]

in a pool like the 75k play today you gotta take chances on SPers, whoever wins will have Bauer as their SP for today

Depends. Ive had it go both ways. Last year I won with the main used pitcher, but won because of a huge game from a less than 1% owned Brian Roberts.

[melanimal_old]

man if I had stuck with the Tigers. I pulled Gose, JD Martinez and Shane Greene. 1/4 today

Not a math guy but I feel like at some point your odds of winning big competitions increases if you take chances on guys that no one else owns.

yes thats the strategy. But you still want the top scoring pitcher or almost identical to it. If its not possible, then you look for it with the bat. I normally have a good 1k left normally when doing GPP lineups.

[Chill Will 33]

cashed both my night ones, up 54.50 on the season now, all off a single buck i left from football.

gotta look at my FRI lineup still.

[saaltydog]

A lot of nice hitter matchups today. Might stream against Buehrle. Also Rockies in Coors this weekend. Was thinking the Cubs but Matzek could be sneaky good.

As far as pitchers go. Might roll with my two guys. McHugh (Texas Park isn't the hitters Park it used to be after the remodeling they did) and T. Walker. Also will probably play a 50/50 with Gio

[SoutheastBeast1]

Just realized BigEasy has AGon

****er is single handedly beating me in offense this week.

[Trapstar4.4]

holy crap. i think im going gpp only in the early slate. just run a bunch of stacks or something

[saaltydog]

Think I'm gonna run a McHugh and a McAllister lineup in the early 50/50.

[melanimal_old]

holy crap. i think im going gpp only in the early slate. just run a bunch of stacks or something

I think Im not going to play at all. Too many possible outcomes with the pitchers today.
