Does anyone play Fan Duel?

[LTR]

No Lind probably gonna f*** me tonight.

[Boxcar]

I can't believe I sold so low on Carlos Carrasco ='(

[jays4life19]

lol McCarthy.

[TheHurl]

Are you doing DraftKings or FanDuel? I'm considering switching and putting in a bit more money (put in next to nothing to Fanduel).

 

Time for a pool of funds and get into bigger games

I know right? But still 1pt through 1IP so that's OK!

Told you in the PM. I played mostly DraftKings today. Started playing more $3 50/50s tonight and they're all going to cash handily.

In the BBDL?

[LTR]

Now 4K through 2IP. What's your line-up?

[Boxcar]

[Boxcar]

For Scooter Gennett.

 

thanks for filling in the blanks

[Boxcar]

lol mccarthy bases loaded bb rbi. Great eye!

[LTR]

Got the link. Its on!

 

Good luck

 

My lineup:

 

carrasco

d'arnaud

votto

genett

lamb

owings

betts

stanton

yelich

 

Your line-up is bi-polar:

 

Pitcher pts: 20.33

Batter pts: 0

[LTR]

I've got Lamb having more points than Sandoval. Might have to do with my temperature adjustments too. 40 in Philly, 70 in Arizona.

 

Tom Tango's The Book says to add 0.80 ERA to a reliever ERA to adjust for starting.

Edit: By the way, I looked at Heston's projections and he is projected as a starter. If you compare his ZiPS and Steamer projections the stats are pretty much aligned and ZiPS clearly has him as starter so I would not/did not make any adjustment.

Hey Jfas,

 

Not sure if you want me to post on your form or not. I used your lineup for zips evening on DK but I subbed out deGrom and Pierzynski for Mccarthy and Mccann due to weather concerns. Just let me know!

[LTR]

Steamer is as a reliever though. You should adjust halfway.

 

I don't see it that way. Steamer is projecting players not expected to have major league playing time, this is indicated by 0 G and 0 GS with 1 IP.

[LTR]

McCarthy with quite a night now.

 

Edit: Right after I post this he gives up 2 runs.

[Boxcar]

It's also fun to ignore optimals. I've got Mark Canha in one lineup.

 

Also, Kazmir should mess up Texas.

 

NJH the seer

[LTR]

Pretty sure they have 1 GS if it is as a starter, but FG won't load right now so can't check. Check Steamer600 though. Heston was a reliever.

 

Edit: Hmm Ya they say 0 GS either way. Steamer600 only way to know.

 

It's actually the other way around. Projected relievers show 1 G (if you look at a few of the player profiles it checks out). So Chris Heston was projected as a starter. Better fix your code!

 

This is great info though, thanks.

[LTR]

I'm using 600 right now strictly, and he was a reliever in there. You're right in the one game thing though. Knew there was a way to tell just had it backwards.

 

He does appear to be listed as a reliever on Steamer600 (indicated by 65 G / 0 GS) but he's clearly not on Steamer and ERA are the same in both. Makes the data pretty unreliable, at least in the case of using Steamer... but based on the ZiPS data I would surmise Steamer600 data in this case is erroneous.

I had 4 lineups and only one actually won something, though barely on the cusp. Wish I'd thrown out a Kazmir/Carrasco combo. Lost 50 bucks! I'm dum.

Yeah i thought Porcello at the very least was a lock for the SW. I lost everything i played last night. I'm dumer.

[LTR]

Anyone want to go H2H today for $5? Here's 2 games (aft only):

I can also create $1 or $2 if preferred. It's just for fun after all.

[Spanky99]

Do you guys put weather, wind, etc...in your factors? Wind is blowing 19 mph out for instance in KC?

[theblujay]

Detroit will probably be rained out today

[Boxcar]

Detroit will probably be rained out today

 

Doubt it. It won't start really coming down until the game is over.

 

I'm going with this today but probably conservatively due to my massive failures yesterday:

 

P Matt Harvey NYM@Was $8,800

P Shane Greene Min@Det $6,000

C Salvador Perez* CWS@KC $3,800

1B Victor Martinez** Min@Det $4,500

2B Ben Zobrist* Tex@Oak $4,100

3B Miguel Cabrera** Min@Det $5,200

SS Alexei Ramirez CWS@KC $3,900

OF George Springer* Cle@Hou $4,600

OF Chris Carter Cle@Hou $4,400

OF Shin-Soo Choo* Tex@Oak $4,100

[Spanky99]

Wind is something I want to include, but I don't have directional wind historical data, just velocity at the moment. I have weather and temperature in.

 

Cool, Rotowire gives you gameday MPH and direction, don't know if that helps. Great work, as per usual mate!

[Laika]

SS Alexei Ramirez CWS@KC $3,900

OF George Springer* Cle@Hou $4,600

OF Chris Carter Cle@Hou $4,400

 

Hmmm these guys are all on the wrong side of the platoon
