Take a real good look at today's DFS MLB Playbook folks because there is a very good chance that after today, it will never look the same again. Yes, that is a GOOD thing by the way! We are working behind the scenes to take this Playbook to the next level and with it our Playbook PRO offerings as well. Why mess with success you ask? Because it is not like us here at Fantasy Alarm to sit back on our accomplishements especially when there are improvements to be made. So take it in and know that by the end of the week this version of the DFS MLB Playbook will resemble something that DFS cavemen used to draw on walls.
As for today's slate, I already know what you all are going to say: I can't fit these pitchers in with these hitters!! True, it is going to take some navigating in order to make these top plays work in a lineup on Aces & DK tonight. The bottom line here is that we are going to have to wait until about mid-afternoon before some of the better value plays unveil themselves to us. Once we get some lineups reported we will be able to determine which value plays are worthy and that will unlock our lineups for the day. In the meantime, let's take a look at who we will be building lineups around tonight.
