MLB Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Advice 5/18/16
- main slate gpp
@nygiants no complaints with any of tthose plays here
ok here is my second gpp
@nygiants not a fan of Price at all with all of the other pitchers on the slate.
Hey guys. DK H2H. What do you think? Zach, you said you don't like Price. Is that just for GPP, or Cash as well? Which other pitchers do you like tonight? Thanks!
@chaulpa I don't mind him but the upside is not there against the Royals especially with all of the other pitchers going. Jason or Russ wrote a great article talking about the top pitchers on this slate. I don't mind your hitters at all.
Ok, thanks Zach, I really appreciate it. I made another that I think I might like better. Which stands out to you 1 or 2?
@chulpa I like the hitters in lineup one better than the hitters in lineup two but like pitchers better in lineup two

Thanks Zach. I moved Price to Liriano, and made a few hitter changes. I upgraded Gregorius to Diaz, and moved Lamb down to Longoria. Like or dislike these hitting changes? Thanks!
@chaulpa I prefer the other hitters as I am super high on Lamb and have him as my top rated third baseman.
@vondie I personally only play one lineup a night for cash games and personally I think it is a mistake to play more than two or three. If you want to run multiple lineups in GPPS that is perfectly fine. I also am not a fan of a lot of your hitters and a couple of your pitchers in cash games.
Yea - I had been only entering 1 lineup in double ups. But I would enter it 10-20 times per contest (the large guarenteed double ups)
Then I read (I believe on your site) that it's dumb to enter same lineup in double ups. And that it's ok to diversify lineups in the double ups.
Logically it makes sense to me to enter 1 line up. I guess I am confused on the strategy to enter that line up multiple times or across many leagues.
Thanks for response.
@vondie in GPPS it is not a smart move but in double ups I have no problem entering the same lineup 20 times. It would be the same as entering it in 20 different double up contests
Makes sense - I wasn't having much luck when trying that.
Would you agree that if I lock in two high floor pitchers, and my favorite high floor hitter on the slate, then run colossus to fill out the rest of the line up, that I can enter that 1 line up and should show a profit long term?
@vondie long term I would agree you would profit long term
