Of course I netted $75 (took in $125, invested $50) on two lineups yesterday because I didn't consult any algorithm or take anyone's advice. Thankfully, I didn't even see DFS advice in my Twitter timeline. All that stuff is poison. The only way to do well consistently, I'm convinced, is to pay attention and trust your own instincts. After Saturday, my MLB bankroll is $1376.24.
I say "MLB" bankroll because I set about 25 NFL lineups on various platforms over the last two weeks, so that's going to mess with the overall totals quite a bit. Maybe I'll blog on that at some point, but for now I'll just track baseball. Why am I setting two $25 MLB DFS lineups on a Sunday with eight season-long fantasy football leagues, nine MLB leagues, 25 DFS football lineups, four survivor pools and two against-the-spread pools? Because given the already overwhelming amount of action I have, I didn't think it could hurt.
Here are today's lineups, subject to change as more team lineups come out:
| Pos | $25 GS | $ | $25 GS | $ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P | Niese | 6900 | Paxton | 7100 |
| C | Posey | 3500 | Montero | 2700 |
| 1B | Belt | 3000 | Cabrera | 4200 |
| 2B | Altuve | 3500 | Castro | 2600 |
| 3B | Longoria | 3400 | Longoria | 3400 |
| SS | Correa | 3600 | Correa | 3600 |
| OF | Gomez | 3300 | Fowler | 3200 |
| OF | Trout | 4100 | Trout | 4100 |
| OF | Springer | 3600 | Schwarber | 4000 |
| Total | 34900 | Total | 34900 |
I used two lefties against teams that can't hit them. With Jon Niese, I used an Astros stack - hope those guys are all playing, and with James Paxton I used a Cubs stack. Both lineups have Mike Trout, Evan Longoria and Carlos Correa.
