Wait he's scored 18+ 7/16 starts, and 20+ 6/16 starts and 24+ 4/16 starts and for 5-6k range that's not bad, obviously I wouldn't leave money on the table with him in my lineup, but I was chosing between him, Graveman and Severino, I took a tiny bit of Severino as well. I also downgraded a couple of bats and took Hellickson in some, and maybe that was the right play tbh, and I had more of that play, but I felt the upgrade at bats and the variance Rodon brought was worth the risk.

EDIT: Also, if I had seen the high ownership of Severino, no chance I would have chosen him over Rodon's low ownership, the plays were similar with equal ownerships imo.

Huh? Here's a graph showing his scores by game on Fanduel.

>20 1 time
>18 2 times
>16 2 times
>14 5 times
>12 6 times
>10 7 times
<10 9 times

Average score 9.83.

Even if you're not on Fanduel it's still going to be a similar trend. There's not much upside there. I'd say there were two great starts, then a few very good ones in the 15-16 range, and the rest were all okish or way worse.

So you think Severino was a better play last night or Graveman? Or downgrade bats to get Hellickson(which is what I did in the majority of my games).

EDIT: Also I'm currently only playing on DK, so FD scores mean nothing to me.

How bad is it to be using Iglesias/Anderson in the early slate?

Could differentiate yourself a bit with Pat Listach and Bill Ripken.

No matter how much the rest of l/u crushes they still pitch around Goldy.

It seems like he walks or makes outs lately, but then I look at his numbers:

.340/.456!/.582 with .431 wOBA. What a hoss

I'm fading Kershaw in favor of some extra cap space and DeGrom.

My plan too, got some decent bats tonight, hopefully they come through.

EDIT: Hope some of you guys at the early slate had Iwakuma, no hitter.

I generally can fade any pitcher, except Kershaw, probably going to play him in 1/3rd of lineups, that's as hard as I can fade him.

i'd guess degrom is a bit higher owned with most taking some savings. actually, wouldn't be remotely surprised for degrom to be much higher owned in dk tournies
