Dfsr's Daily Mlb Podcast

DFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis are back on the podcast discussing the two slates of MLB action for FanDuel and DraftKings. For the early afternoon games, they go into Chris Sale's potential ownership and whether there's any solid reason to pivot away from him in cash games or GPPs. They also look at Chris Archer as a possible SP2 on DK even with the matchup against the Yankees.  For the evening slate, they discuss the park effect debate happening in Arizona and how that effects Clayton Kershaw for cash games. They also look closely at Justin Verlander against the struggling Orioles.  For each slate they highlight stacks on offense with a decent amount of bad pitching and solid offenses in good spots.  Learn more about your ad choices.

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Friday baseball podcast to discuss a full slate of game for FanDuel and DraftKings. The discussion starts with Max Scherzer who’ll likely be chalk on both sites, much how we saw Kluber’s ownership last night. He’s far and away the best pitcher on the slate and has a great matchup against the Phillies. After that they discuss the innings and pitch count concerns with Yu Darvish. And then they look at some of the cheaper SP2 options on DraftKings like Marcus Stroman, Luke Weaver and Patrick Corbin. For the stacks it looks like Arizona and Cleveland could be the chalkier teams to target facing Jordan Lyles and Wade Miley respectively. They also look at the Mets, Reds and Yankees.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Thursday MLB podcast discussing a smaller day on the baseball schedule. The obvious part first is the two big arms taking the mound tonight in Corey Kluber and Clayton Kershaw. They are two of the top arms in all of baseball and the guys debate whether the latter is safe considering a probable pitch count only two start removed from the DL. They also talk about the prospect of rostering them both on DK for over 50% of the salary cap there. They also discuss some more arms and stacks including the Marlins, Reds and both sides of the Twins/ Royals game.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the baseball podcast discussing a full Tuesday evening in the majors for FanDuel and DraftKings. There’s plenty to break down with a bunch of quality arms taking the mound. They hone in on Jacob deGrom going against a subpar Phillies team. But they also look at Stephen Strasburg facing Miami. On the cheaper side Michael Wacha gets the dream matchup against the Padres in Petco and they discuss whether to be worried about Danny Salazar on a pitch count. For the hitters, the game in Coors looks like the cash game stack on the Rockies side with low K Ty Blach taking the mound for the Giants. They also look at the Yankees, Indians and Angels. All of this and more on a full Tuesday podcast for FanDuel and DraftKings. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Friday podcast discussing everything you need to know for making lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel. They get into the weird state of pitching today where Clayton Kershaw is back but on a pitch count. It’s likely too much to pay for him there so they look into the merits of Jimmy Nelson, Gerrit Cole, Luis Castillo and even possibly Dinelson Lamet. On the hitters’ side of things we always need to move games in Coors up to the top of the stacks’ list though both Arizona and Colorado are expensive. They also take a look at the Marlins, Rays, Brewers, Angels (now with Justin Upton) and Yankees. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the MLB podcast discussing an afternoon and evening slate of baseball action. They start with discussing Doug’s recent traffic violation ticket and whether he’s running bad in the “getting pulled over” department. For the early slate they break down Collin McHugh against the Texas Rangers and Jacob deGrom against the Reds in Cincy. Neither are fantastic options. There are a bunch bad pitchers going on the early though like Miguel Gonzalez and Bartolo Colon. For the evening they take a hard look at Madison Bumgarner’s season and whether or not it’s a concern on his dip in K rate. They also see Kyle Hendricks and Michael Wacha as cash game ready. All of that and more on a full MLB podcast for FanDuel and DraftKings.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Friday podcast discussing a full evening slate of baseball for FanDuel and DraftKings. They start the pod about the crazy opposite-night in baseball last evening with Sale getting rocked and the chalk Twins shut down by Holland. They also break down the Tigers/ Yankees brawl from the afternoon. After that they discuss some of the pitching options for the evening with guys like Greinke, deGrom, Verlander and Quintana all in cash game consideration on FanDuel. On DraftKings it’s a different story as all of those guys are quite expensive and likely cost-prohibitive. For stacks there are plenty of bad pitchers taking the mound. The Red Sox against Jeremy Hellickson, the D-Backs against Ty Blach and the Indians against Jason Vargas jump to the top of the list. All of this and more on a full Friday in baseball.

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the podcast discussing a full day of baseball DFS action for FanDuel and DraftKings. First they look at the early slate of games where pitching is a real issue. Robbie Ray is clearly the best arm but he’s also on first game since returning from the DL. After him the list gets real dicey real quick. For the evening they take a close look at Chris Sale in his matchup against the Indians. Carlos Martinez figures to be a chalkier play against the the weak-hitting Padres. And for starting pitcher two purposes they point to the possibility of playing Trevor Bauer or Jose Berrios. Stacking focuses on the Twins, Cubs and both sides of the Marlins/ Phillies game. All this and more Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the podcast discussing the evening slate of baseball for FanDuel and DraftKings. They start with pitching where Corey Kluber is clearly the best arm on the slate. The question becomes whether you want to start him agains the Red Sox who don’t K all that much. They also break down Luis Severino’s matchup against Detroit, Zack Godley against the Mets, Mike Fiers facing the Nationals and even Luke Weaver versus the Padres. On the offensive side it’s James Shields Day with Big Game James going against the Twins. The latter will likely be a popular stack. But the Astros, Yankees ad Cubs are all in great spots too.

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the podcast to breakdown a full Tuesday of MLB action for DraftKings and FanDuel. There are some interesting pitching decisions today. Chris Archer is expensive but is clearly the best arm on the slate. It’s just a question of whether you can pay up for him a matchup against the Blue Jays. They also discuss Jeff Samardzija against the strikeout prone Brewers, Lance Lynn against the woeful Padres and Jimmy Nelson taking on the Giants. On the offensive side of things, plenty of teams are in good spots. The red hot Orioles face Paul Blackburn who doesn’t strike anyone out. The top of the D-Backs lineup looks great against Tommy Milone and the Yankees square up against the lefty Matt Boyd. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Friday MLB podcast talking a full evening of baseball action. They start the pod discussing some of the news and updates coming from DraftKings where they’ve added the Billionaire Maker for Week 1 NFL, the Pick’em contests and the 7PM only contests. Then they breakdown Max Scherzer vs. Corey Kluber as the starting pitcher one on both sites. They also take a look at Zack Godley and Carlos Martinez as potential pivots for GPP. On the offensive side of things we’ve got another game in Coors Field with the Rockies coming in at the highest implied run line. But we’ve also got James Shields against the Rangers and both sides of the Mets/ Marlins look interesting. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the pod (sitting in the same room) to discuss Tuesday’s MLB slate. They start with Alex Wood who seems seriously mispriced on both sites considering the money line, matchup and his numbers this season. He’s likely to be chalk across the industry. They also discuss Madison Bumgarner against the Marlins, Jacob deGrom facing the Yankees and the always volatile Danny Salazar. For starting pitcher two they debate Kyle Hendricks vs. Dinelson Lamet. On the stacks side of the ball, the Rockies are once again in a solid spot in Coors against the Braves. They also throw out the Red Sox and both sides of the Orioles/ Seattle game.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Tuesday podcast to discuss the extreme highs and crazy lows of today’s pitching slate. For starters, they discuss the choice you have between Chris Sale and Corey Kluber at the top end of the chain. These are two aces aces and the decision between them is going to be awfully close. They are priced nearly the same on FanDuel and you could see their ownership possibly split down the middle. On DraftKings they discuss playing them both together and committing 50% of your cap to two starting pitchers. There’s also discussion on Dallas Keuchel and Jose Quintana but the list falls off dramatically after those two. For stacks there’s an embarrassment of bad pitchers taking the mound. They discuss the Astros against Derek Holland, Nationals facing Vance Worley, Brewers against Mejia and both sides of the Orioles/ Angels game. All of that and more. Learn more about your ad choices.

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to a full Friday podcast discussing plays for FanDuel and DraftKings. Yu Darvish takes the mound for his Dodgers’ debut and is in a good spot against the Mets. Though the win expectation is a little lower considering he’s going against Jacob DeGrom. They also take a look at Madison Bumgarner, James Paxton, Jacob Faria and Eduardo Rodriguez. On the offensive side they discuss the game in Coors between the Phillies and Rockies, the Rded Sox against Carlos Rodon and many more. All of this on a full Friday DFS MLB podcast.

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Thursday podcast to discuss the double slate of MLB action on DraftKings and FanDuel. They start the podcast talking about DraftKings’ new policy of limiting lower stakes games for high volume players. This means “highly experienced” DFS players will no longer be able to enter $5 and lower buyins on that site. They then move into the early afternoon set of games and discuss Jose Quintana and Michael Wacha as viable options to pair with the Rockies’ offense. For the evening they break down who they prefer between Alex Wood and Corey Kluber and then focus on some SP2 decisions.

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Tuesday podcast to break down the action for FanDuel and DraftKings. The story for today is the absolute embarrassment of pitching riches we have to choose from. This is as good a pitching day as you’ll ever see with Max Scherzer and Chris Sale leading the charge. But there are also names like Carlos Martinez, Jon Lester, Jameson Taillon, Carlos Carrasco, Jeff Samardzija and many more. The guys try to wade through the list and pick out the guys in the best spots. Then on the hitting side they focus on the game in Coors as a great place to start with the Rockies and Mets coming in with the highest run lines on the day. They also talk Blue Jays against Mike Palfrey and both sides of the Mariners and Rangers. All of that and more on a full Tuesday podcast. Learn more about your ad choices.

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Friday podcast to discuss a full slate of baseball for FanDuel and DraftKings. There are some good arms taking the bump starting with Alex Wood who’s coming off his worst game of the season last time out. But he’s been great overall and is a huge favorite here against the Giants. They also discuss Masahiro Tanaka who’s been running bad on the home runs this season and Danny Salazar who pitched his game last time out fresh off the DL. They also discuss Robbie Ray, Jose Quintana, Dallas Keuchel and Julio Teheran. With the bats they are looking to target the Red Sox against Jason Vargas, Rangers vs. Chris Tillman and Orioles up against Derek Holland. All of that and more on a full Friday podcast.

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the podcast to discuss a very short slate in Major Baseball action for Thursday. There are only eight total games on the docket with a 3 game early and 5 game late tilt. On the early it’s rather easy with Max Scherzer who stands head and shoulders above the rest of the crew. They also talk about Trevor Bauer as a decent SP2 option on DraftKings. For the evening, things don’t look so clear. Jon Lester and Chris Archer are the top overall arms, but their prices and opponents don’t look all that enticing. They do talk about Zack Godley as a suitable pivot cheaper.   And on offense it’s all the Cubs who get to face Mike Pelfrey. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
