DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/8/19): MLB DFS Lineups
A really strange day of baseball with two doubleheaders wreaking havoc on the slates. To confuse matters even more, neither of the Rays @ Red Sox games appear on either slate, while both of the Athletics @ Rangers games appear on slates. In total there are two main slates, both with fairly even weighting. The... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/23/19): MLB DFS Lineups
This Thursday slate is absolutely bizarre. There are 10 games in total, but four of them start between 12 and 1 pm, and there is only one game after 7 pm.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/16/19): MLB DFS Lineups
Thursday brings us another 10 game slate, but frustratingly once again with a split, and weirdly with one game (BAL @ CLE) missing off both slates entirely.
