[TheHurl]

All for $10 though, such a shame!!

[BrianV]

I'm sitting at 266th. Dang Karns, otherwise I'd be killing it!

[jays4life19]

Haha yeah. Whatever though. It's fun. I do the whole job thing to make money.

JFaS is killing it tonight

Other than the SP, he did well.

JAKE LAMB!!! woo

[reedjohnsonfan]

JAKE LAMB!!! woo

 

Lamb saving my Latos pick. Seemed like a good guy to grab at 2200.

[LTR]

JAKE LAMB!!! woo

 

Yeah, I had him in all my line-ups tonight, good pick.

Literally one point out of the money in one of my draftkings 50/50s. With the Giants down to their last out it doesn't look like Posey is going to get me any more points.

 

Oh well. still came out a few dollars ahead tonight.

now that the Padres tied it, no win for greinke! looks like i made about 60 bucks today, nailbiter on my 25 dollar triple up, but looks like i finished 2nd.

[Boxcar]

s***** pitcher showings, Garza and Karns. Still 4x payouts in tourneys.

 

Hahn wasn't great either but bats were on point.

[BrianV]

Last night, I won all my 50/50s.

 

The one I played with JFaS's lineup gave me:

 

ZiPS Projections

38.41 points,

21 / 100

Middle score: 27.50

 

JFaS's lineup also got me to #320 / 6453 in the freeroll tourney.

 

My own picks brought me 41.25 points, which was good for 20/100. I see nmrch in that pool with #10 / 47.25 points. He had Perralta - nice pick!

 

Only one the 50/50 winnings have been credited to my account, not the other yet. Odd... It's showing up in 'Live', but not 'History' yet.

OK so I am curious to see your picks for today. I did a lot of research the last 2 days and put together 2 lineups based on excellent batter/pitcher matchups, taking guys with .500/.600 career averages vs the pitchers they were facing and at least 10 at bats vs said pitcher, and fell flat on my face. Both my pitchers did well (Tillman and Wood) but my hitters were stank. Maybe I should just chalk it up to bad luck?

 

As mentioned before ITT don't look at batter vs pitchers stats the sample is too small and thus meaningless. Can't really go wrong with JFaS picks though.

 

My picks for tonight which i spent 5 mins. lol. Just my gut.

I'm gonna say these guys will tell to not rely on batter vs pitcher matchups as much.

More likely, you should stop using 10 ab samples to judge a matchup. I haven't looked at any batter vs. Pitcher data and have had success last couple days.

Lol

 

Though I hope most people are relying heavily on that data so I can keep winning easy money. Anyone down for a small h2h today? E: on draftkings

[Boxcar]

minimum 10 AB samples. Most of the ones I used were 20-30 AB samples. If a guy is 6 for 12 with 2 HR off a guy, why wouldn't you take him over someone with a bad sample or no sample?

 

Because then you lose. There are tons of things that need to be considered over a 30 ab sample size.

[Boxcar]

Its the whoever pitching on Phillies offense. Double or nothing Jayzfan?

Gut lineup...probably wont put too much on this

[Boxcar]

boxy I'll play you a $5 head to head using my s***** methods.

 

I'll also go in a 50/50 league with JFaS ideal lineup and see which one does better

 

I don't play fanduel, so do you play on DK?

[jays4life19]

I keep forgetting i still have money and free tickets in Victiv. Anyone play over there?

[SpeedyGose]

I've got a free ticket over there that I havent used yet. It seemed like a confusing set up and I never got into it.

 

Do you like it?

Nope. Put 50 bucks in it got like 6 free tickets and 100% sign up bonus and played like 2 NFL games and then kind of just forgot about it. Pretty much a ghost town on that site.

 

Might try mlb out next Sunday when i have time to play.

[LTR]

damn I'm only on FD.

 

Anyone want to play a head to head on FD today?

 

I'm in. But I'll probably post a couple $5 head-to-heads links today for anyone who wants to play me (7PM start).

[LTR]

I keep forgetting i still have money and free tickets in Victiv. Anyone play over there?

 

You killed me last night. My late night line-ups scored 47.75 pts though (and you would have beaten me by 0.5 pts on that too).

 

Good job!
