MLB DFS Recapalooza - April 26th

MLB DFS has given us another joyous, yet frustrating week. If you started David Price against the Yankees earlier this week, frustrating is probably a mild emotion compared to what you and I felt. Mark Teixeira was one of the few faces of baseball this week, jumping into the five plus home runs in a week club. It was your standard week around the bigs, the Royals were involved in a brawl, DraftKings pricing was a mess, and D.J. LeMahieu is still leading the league in average.

Jimmy "DK Dollar Menu" Paredes

What a week for Jimmy Paredes, the value superstar on DraftKings this week. He hit over .400 with five extra base-hits, and three home runs. What makes this all so special is that he cost the bare minimum of $2,000 salary on DraftKings for almost the entire week. Today they did raise his salary to a whopping $3,600... For those who missed him this week, don't worry there are other value fish in the sea.

Big Tex

In the opening week it was Adrian Gonzalez, last week Nelson Cruz, and this week it is Mark Teixeira. Tex had five home runs this week, and two off of Jacob DeGrom on Friday. This is starting to get scary, we need to be on the lookout for that player to just pick all week long. He is usually a slow starter, but he is tied for second in the league with eight home runs.

King Felix & Danny Salazar - NSFW

Welcome back to the show Danny Salazar. The kid had 21 strikeouts in two starts this week, one start coming against the red hot Tigers. I like to call him Mr. GPP, because you are either counting stacks of money, or closing tabs early. This week you were counting stacks. King Felix was another hot hurler this week, also striking out 21 in two starts, but we expect him to do it. They were truly masterful.

That Was Cold David Price

It was a quiet evening around lineup lock time, and the snow was beginning to fall. All the girls and boys had David Price in their cash game lineups, but oh how those were about to stall. A hit here, and a walk there, but the earned runs were what people couldn't bear. Price allowed eight earned runs through two and a third, and he left everyone in the DFS community with nothing but a turd.

Am I proud of my rhyming? You bet.

Fade Yordano Ventura?

We normally fade players due to a high strikeout rate, or a pitcher who walks too many players. Is it time to start fading players based on the fear of them getting ejected? Yordano Ventura has become very ill-tempered of late. What if someone brings him the wrong Gatorade, or an ex-girlfriend is sitting behind home plate? We already saw what he does when someone hits a ground ball back to him, he is too risky.
