Daily Musing 5/15/2014 Another 50/50 Night

Recap:

It was a 50/50 night for me. I played in daily 50/50 leagues, and placed in the money in 4 out of 8 contests. Baumgartner was a death nail in the early games. I will not ignore the home and day game stats for him again. If he starts during the day and at home I am not going to use him. He will still be a play for me at any other time. I would have been a tad ahead for the day if I would not have played in the tournament. I'll take the dollar hit for a chance to win $350.00. Today has been very kind to me. I entered in four 50/50 contests for the early games, and placed in the money in all 4. Hopefully the night is equally profitable. I feel confident with my lineups. If my pitcher does well, I should finish in the money.

Pitchers:

It's Yordano Ventura day in Kansas City. I'm hoping for a better performance than he had his last time out vs Seattle. He seems to be on a one good and one bad start streak. Baltimore is a strong offensive team, but one thing I have learned is good pitching beats good hitting 9 times out of 10. If Ventura has one or two of his secondary pitches working, he is nearly unhittable. He faced Baltimore a couple of weeks ago and was dominant. He went 8 innings, gave up 7 hits and struckout 10. I do not subscribe to the belief that hitters will do better the second time around. If Ventura is on, Baltimore won't stand a chance.

Hitters:

C: The over under Vegas is setting for the Cleveland vs Toronto game is 9.5, which is insanely high. Blue Jays hitters would be the obvious choice, but I'm going with Cleveland. I don't know what to expect from Danny Salazar. He could get lit up, or strikeout 10 not giving up a run. For catcher tonight I'm going with Yan Gomes. Gomes over the past 3 years is batting .293/.337/.527 vs southpaws.

1B: Pujols: He is good against lefties. Erik Bedard had been really good his past two starts, but the Angles kill lefties as a team. Hoping Pujols cashes in tonight. He is batting .267/.313/.467 vs lefties. Not great numbers, but I am betting Bedard struggles tonight.

2B: Howie Kendrick: see my above reason for why I like Angles hitters tonight. Batting .279/.367/.442 vs lefties on the year.

3B: One of my sneaky picks for the night. Danny Valencia. He is another lefty killer .321/.345/.464. I'll take those numbers.

SS: Asdrubal Cabrera has been on fire recently and gets to face a crappy MLB pitcher in J.A. Happ. He bats slightly better vs lefties than righties as a switch hitter. Over the past seven Cabrera is batting .462/.517/.808.

OF: I don't like fish, but I am going to sample some Trout tonight, and hope it pays off. Again I love the Angles tonight, so does Vegas, they set the over under tonight at 9. I don't think this is because of the Tampa bats. Jacoby Ellsbury, this is the one person in the lineup I'm not sure about. He is a good solid play and going against a rookie pitcher in his first start. Last play is another Angel. Collin Cowgill is leading off, hoping he gets on base and scores a bunch of runs. Last time I went with the Angels vs a lefty it did not work out for me. Hopefully it does today.

Daily Musing: 5/14/2014 “Don’t Think Meat, Just Throw”

Recap:

What a great day in the fantasy world. I jumped three places in one my yearly leagues (even managed to gain a couple of points in the league I'm dead last in), and placed in every daily league I entered. I even managed to place in the large tournament I entered. When I went to bed I was in 25^th place, I finished in 300^th, but still managed to make a 2.00 profit. I'll try my hand at this tournament again today, not looking to make money, but it's worth a shot to make 400 dollars for 1^st place. My new strategy of picking against poor pitchers looks to be paying off. I put thought into yesterday's lineups, but didn't overthink it. I put together what I thought was a good team and went with it. I am going to keep trying the, "Don't Think Meat, Just Throw" approach and hope it pays off.

Pitchers:

Early: Madison Baumgartner is pitching against the Braves at home. I foresee a plethora of strikeouts, and a deep outing for the power lefty today. He is sporting a 5.87 home ERA on the year in 3 starts, but managed 6 innings and 9 strikeouts vs the Braves last week.

Late: Johnny Cueto is pitching against the Padres. Yes, the Padres of been playing better, but Cueto dominated the Rockies his last time out. The Padres offense is nowhere close to being as good as a road Rockies lineup. Cueto is healthy and at home (unlike Fernandez on Friday night of last week), this should equal massive success.

Hitters:

C: Early: I like John Jaso. He is facing a righty pitcher who gives up a ton of fly balls. Guessing one may leave the yard.

Late: Kurt Suzuki is primed for a big game tonight against a dreadful lefty pitcher in the form of Felix Doubront. I liked this matchup last night, and my opinion has not changed.

1B: Early: Brandon Moss, see my above reason for liking John Jaso

Late: David Ortiz. He hit two home runs last night, and helped me place in the money. He is heating up and I'm looking to ride the hot streak while it lasts. He gets another favorable matchup tonight vs. Kevin Correia.

2B: Early: Robinson Cano: I like the matchup vs a righty who has had issues in Jake Odorizzi

Late: Brian Dozier: Same reason I like Kurt Suzuki

3B: Early: Evan Longoria: I like him to bounce back today vs a putrid right handed pitcher named Brandon Maurer.

Late: Trevor Plouffe: Can you tell I think Felix Doubront struggles tonight in Minnesota?

SS: Early: I went with Ian Desmond hoping he continues building a hot streak.

Late: Jose Reyes: I am not sure I like this matchup vs Kluber. Vegas thinks this will be a high scoring game, and no other matchup was standing out to me.

OF: Early: Alex Gordon gets it going vs a struggling righty (he didn't), Cespedes hits a homer vs some White Sox pitching, and Matt Joyce keeps up his hot hitting vs right handers.

Late: Michael Brantley kills pitchers in the Rodgers Center. Ryan Braun hits lefties well, and Michael Bourn will set the table for a massive scoring output by the Cleveland Indians.

 

Daily Musing 5/13/2014 Just an OK Night

Recap:

Last night was just a blah night. I placed in 3 of the 8 contests I entered. Tonight we are looking to perform better. I am going to play in eight 50/50 leagues tonight, and one Guaranteed Prize Pool Tournament. It looks like I am going against the experts tonight in my pitchers, and a few of my hitters. Hope it pays off for me. I am going to write a shorter blog today. Just going to list the pitchers and hitters I like, and not go into a detailed analysis.

Pitchers:

Hisashi Iwakuma, love him tonight vs the Rays. They are a struggling team, and he looked absolutely dominant vs the Royals.

Josh Beckett is a sneaky play tonight. Cheap on the sites, and I think he strikes out a ton of Marlins.

Hitters:

C: Zunino for the Mariners. David Price is a great pitcher, so I don't really like the matchup, but he is cheap and it is righty vs lefty. I wanted to go with Kurt Suzuki, but the Red Sox changed their starter, and forced me to make a change

Posey for the Giants in the late games. I had Salary to spend in the my late leagues, so I went with the Posey

1B: Going with Big Poppy tonight. He gets a lefty vs righty matchup, and Nolasco stinks.

Brandon Moss is my play for the late games. The White Sox pitcher will be riding a bus in a few weeks.

2B: This is another position I had to change. I wanted Brian Dozier for the Twins, changed to Chase Utley of the Phillies. Late games going with Dee Gordon.

3B: David Wright for the early game, he gets a crappy lefty to crush tonight. Late games going with some Josh Donaldson.

SS: Ian Desmond got it going last night, and he is still cheap. Hoping he keeps it going tonight for my daily league, and for my yearly leagues. Love the A's tonight, so going with Jed Lowrie

OF: Rios who kills lefties, Cabrera who kills Justin Masterson, and Carl Crawford who murders righties (at least recently). For the late games I am going with Puig, Cespedes, and Crawford.

Daily Musing 5/12/2014: Weekend in Fantasy Hades

Recap:

WOW, was I bad at the daily game this weekend. After my stunning performance on Thursday night I followed it up with an average Friday breaking even. Then I was destroyed on Saturday and Sunday. I will admit not putting as much effort into building my lineup on Saturday. This was a mistake, and I did not place in the money in any entry I made. Yesterday was not much better. I did put more effort into my lineup. I thought I had an extremely strong one with Clayton Kershaw as my starting pitcher. A case of the "Sunday's" affected my lineup. Managers gave days off to guys who I thought where a lock to start. Scooter Jennet, Carl Crawford, and Everth Cabrera. I had to quickly replace these individuals with little to no research, while grocery shopping. Not an ideal scenario, and it cost me. I only won one head to head league, because the other guy's team was equally horrible. I was able to get home and enter in one other lineup for the late games, and nailed it. I finished in the top ten. One bright spot for a horrific weekend. I am going to try a different strategy for the week. I am going to go away from relying heavily on batter vs pitcher stats (though not going to ignore them) and focus more on poor pitchers vs good hitting teams. I put yet another 10 dollars into my Fanduel account. This will be my last deposit. I am up to 50 dollars on the month. If I can't do better this week, I will just try the daily free-rolls on fantasy websites.

Pitchers:

Dan Haren vs the Miami Marlins. Current Marlins are batting a combined .265/.302/.447 vs Haren. He has also been consistent all year. He has yet to give up more than 3 earned runs in a start, and has made it into the 6^th inning in every single start. He is only averaging 4 strikeouts per his starts, but I look for him to have a big total tonight.

Jesse Chavez vs the Chicago White Sox. This is my second choice. Current White Sox's are batting .269/.333/.424 vs right handers for the year. Chavez has been a tad inconsistent over his past 3 starts. Giving up 4 earned runs in two of the three. The White Sox are a hard team to figure out, and I will probably stay away from the game and Chavez.

Hitters:

C: Chris Iannetta of the Angels: He is batting 4/9 vs Buehrle with 2 doubles. He is batting .276/.382/.655 vs lefties on the year. If he starts tonight he is a cheap consistent option at catcher. Derick Norris of the Oakland A's. He had a monster game yesterday with 2 home runs (He is one of the reasons I finished in the top 10 of my late league) He is great against lefties, in 39 at bats this year he is batting .385/.467/.641. If he is in the lineup, which he will be, I will use him for the late games.

1B: Going with Prince Fielder. I am thinking he can get it going against Houston, and a bad pitcher in Peacock. He was starting to heat up before he ran into the two John's, Lester and Lackey. Also going to try Freddie Freeman for the late games. He is 4/17 against Lincecum. He also has not had a hit in the last two games. I cannot see three straight. This is against the streak, but I think he could break out tonight.

2B: Howie Kendrick: He has been very good recently, batting .364/.462/.591 over his last 7 days. He also bats .350/.409/.700 vs Mark Buehrle. Again not trying to go against a good pitcher, but I think Buehrle is doing things with smoke and mirrors. Trying Dee Gordon for the late games. He is 3/6 against Koehler, but has only been batting .241 over the past 7 days. He is also very expensive, but I had money to spare in the evening games.

3B: Matt Carpenter has been heating up. Over the past 7 he is batting .320/.414/.440. He also does well against Travis wood, 5/19 with 1 Double and 1 Home Run. Martin Prado is a cheap play for the evening games, and is batting. .500 in 14 at bats vs Jordan Zimmerman.

SS: This is the one position I had trouble with tonight. I am going with a cheap option in J.J Hardy. Going back to pitcher vs hitter stats on this one. His slash is .412/412/.471 vs Porcello. For the late games I am hoping Jed Lowrie gets it going against Gavin Floyd. He is currently 0-9 against him, but how long can that continue?

OF: Nick Markakis also enjoys batting against Porcello: .429/.480/.619. He is also been batting .375/.444/.417 over the past 7 days. Mr. Consistent Shin-Shoo Choo. Love the matchup tonight going against a sub-par pitcher. Austin Jackson is another consistent play. He has been heating up over the past 7 days, batting .333/.360/.375. For the night games I am going with hot hands. I am going with Puig, Cespedes and Pagan.

Daily Musing 5/9/2014: WHOO-HOO!!

Recap:

I placed in the money in every single daily league I entered last night. It was extremely close. I finished 40^th out of 80 in a couple of leagues, taking the last spot in the money. David Price was the reason I almost finished out of the money. I paid for the pitching and it almost cost me. He only went 5 innings gave up 3 runs, and only struck out 3. With a performance like this I did not think I would place. Edwin Encarnacion saved me. His two home runs let me squeak into the money.

Ian Kennedy on the other hand was brilliant against the Marlins. He went 7 innings striking out 12 and only giving up 1 earned run. He also homered in the game, providing the only San Diego offense. He did not get the win, but built up enough strikeouts to give me a bunch of daily fantasy points.

All in all it was a very good night. I hope my winning and losing stabilize to a consistent basis, hopefully on the former side. I am going to try my hand at some head to head match-ups tonight to see how I fare in those.

Pitchers:

There is a plethora of good pitching tonight. You cannot go wrong with Fernandez, Cueto, Darvish, Tanaka, Bumgarner, or Verlander. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Fernandez is extremely pricey on all sites, but he is also facing a San Diego team who only amounted 1 run against a sub-par pitcher. Cueto is facing the Rockies, and while I think he will do well tonight, I don't think I can take the risk in the daily game. Darvish is facing Boston, who always have the ability to draw out at-bats, and get the pitcher out of the game early. Verlander has been a tad inconsistent this year, and the Twins can be similar to the Red Sox in how they approach at-bats. Tanaka is my best option tonight going against an injured Brewers team who free swings. The only down side is he has given up the long ball, and the Brewers can defiantly go deep. Tanaka has been the model of consistency all year going at least 7 innings except in one start, and striking out no less than 5 in each performance. I am also going to use Jose Fernandez for my late lineup (I don't think I need to explain my reason for this).

Batters:

C: I am going with an early and a late lineup for tonight. For the early lineup I am going with Brayan Pena. He is batting second tonight for the Reds and is batting .375 over the past 7 days with 2 homers. For the late game I am going with Salvador Perez, he is batting a consistent .280 over the past 7 days with 3 doubles. The entire Royals lineup struggled last night against Iwakuma. I will give him a pass, and hope he and the team bounce back against a sub-par pitcher in Maurer.

1B: I am really hoping Miguel Cabrera hits well tonight vs Phil Hughes. He did not have a hit yesterday, and didn't have a hit when I played him earlier in the week. The stats say he will. He DESTROYS Phil Hughes. In 28 AB's he is batting .536/.567/1.214. Not sure how anyone could not play him tonight in the daily money games. With the selection for the late game I am going with another Royal (go figure) in Eric Hosmer. He has been heating up batting .367 over the past 7 days with 3 doubles and 1 HR. Throw in a 2/4 with a double against Maurer, and he is a must start for me.

2B: Anthony Rendon (he is listed as a 2b on fanduel): I believe I have mentioned before, Rendon kills lefties. I did not start him against Kershaw, but he still managed a 2/5 against him for the game. For the year he is batting .484/.500/.806, and equals a must start. He is the only second baseman I am using for the daily game tonight.

3B: Have to give props to Ray Flowers (check out his website by clicking his name) for this one. I was struggling to build a lineup with a third basemen for the night. I just did not feel any good option. In his daily email he gave the great nugget about Alberto Callaspo, he has 6 hits in 17 at bats with a homer against Doug Fister. He is bottom dollar on Fanduel. He is batting a horrendous .063 in the last 7 days, but I'll run the chance he bounces back against Fister tonight. He is the only third basemen I am using tonight. Boom or bust mentality, because it allows me to use Tanaka and Fernandez.

SS: Jhonny Peralta: Batting .325 in 40 AB's with one double and 2 home runs against Liriano. On top of this he is running hot, batting .375 with 3 doubles and a home run in the past 7 days. For the late game I am going back to my home town team and Alcides Escobar. He walked last night in the 9^th inning, I look for him to have a big game tonight. I probably should use some Giants since they are facing Paul Maholm, but I just don't like their prices for the matchup.

OF: Jason Werth: Another National who destroys lefties. On the year he is batting .444/.500/.519. He is also been on fire for the past 7 days batting .417/.462/.458. This includes a game against the mighty Clayton Kershaw. Matt Joyce is always a solid play in the daily game. He is cheap option on Fanduel, and is great against right handed pitching. For the year his is batting .321/.443/.481. He is a little cool at the moment batting .222 over the past 7 days, but still has a nice .333 OBP. George Springer, the young guy came through for me yesterday hitting his first big league home run. He faces another left hander today, hopefully he has back to back good performances. Alex Gordon, he is a cool .148 over the past 7 days with 2 doubles. I look for him to break out in a big way tonight. This I know is against the streak, and not something you are supposed to do. Scott Hairston is yet another National who does well against lefties. He just came back off the DL, but he is a cheap option for the late night games. He is batting .255/.296/.497 over the past three years verse lefties. Not great numbers, but I'll take them against a pitcher who is struggling.

Daily Musing 5/8/2014: ALWAYS PAY FOR PITCHING!!

Recap:

As the title states, ALWAYS PAY FOR PITCHING. I did not last night, and paid the price, not finishing in the money in any of the evening contests. I tinkered with my evening lineups, and if I would have left well enough alone, I may have finished in the money. In my defense there was not much good pitching last night, but it could have been found (thinking of you Adam Wainwright). Good pitchers don't tend to slump and always provide needed daily fantasy points. I was dejected last night at the performance of my lineups. I am also slipping in my yearly leagues, and it is frustrating. Just have to keep telling myself it is a long season, and to keep plugging away. I really do enjoy playing the daily game. I have to remember, I'm playing for fun, and not for making money (This is really hard to remember sometimes). I thought about taking the day off in the daily game today, but I am going to climb back on the horse.

Pitchers:

As stated above I'm paying for pitching today. There are not many great options to pay for today. The best and most proven option is David Price. Price over the past three years verse Baltimore sports a 3.04 ERA, 71K's, and 3 wins in 11 starts, and 71 Innings pitched. The win total concerns me, added to the fact the Rays have struggled in the past 10 games going 4-6. The Orioles do struggle against lefties, on the year they are batting a collective .218/.292/.356.

Ian Kennedy is my other option for the night. He is not expensive, but there is just not another option which looks good to me. Over the past 3 years at PETCO Park he is sporting a 3.48 ERA, and is 25-10 in 47 game starts. The Marlins can't hit on the road this year. They are batting a horrible .215/.287/.333. Hopefully these trends continue.

Hitters:

C: Going with the extremely cheap option in the daily game. Michael Mckenry, the Colorado backup catcher. He is a right handed bat going against a lefty. This fact combined with his price is the only reason to use him tonight. He did ok last night, 1/5 against a righty. Salvador Perez is a good option to use, over the past 4 games played he is 7/18 with 3 doubles and a home run. This may be the start of a hot streak.

1B: Miguel Cabrera, he has hit 2 home runs in his last 2 days, and he is Miguel Cabrera. Edwin Encarnacion destroys AJ Burnett. He is 6/14 with 1 double and 2 home runs. He is also starting to heat up batting .283 over the past 7 games, combined with 1 double, 1 triple, and 2 home runs. I would stay away from Burnett tonight pitching in the Rogers Center. Brandon Belt is starting to simmer, hitting .333 over the past 7 days with 2 home runs.

2B: I like Ian Kinsler for the same reason I liked Ian Kinsler yesterday, he is facing a lefty. A quick refresher: On the year he is batting .406/.424/.594 verse southpaws. I was looking for cheap options for the evening games, and am going back to DJ LeMahieu. He came through in a big way last night, going 3/3 with a triple and 2 runs scored. I will take a duplication of this performance tonight, and hope it gets me in the money. Love Dee Gordon in the late games tonight, he has been on fire, and hits Ryan Vogelsong. Gordon is batting .391 against him with 1 triple. If he can get on base, he can steal some bags.

3B: Adrian Beltre: I know the Rangers have struggled the past three days, but I look for them to get it going tonight against Morales. Beltre has homered in each of the past two nights and is batting a modest .292 over the past 7 days. For the late games I am going to try Juan Uribe. He is batting .346 over the past 7 days, and is 6/17 against Vogelsong.

SS: Going with expensive pitching tonight I cannot to fit Tulo into my lineups. Hopefully this doesn't put me out of the money. Love the match-up and his performance. I am going to go back to Alcides Escobar. He is starting to heat up, going 6/19 over the past 4 games. He is 0-3 against Iwakuma for his career, but let's hope he bucks this trend tonight. I am going to use another Escobar tonight. Yunel Escobar is 7/19 vs Jimenez with 1 HR and 4 walks. He is also swinging a moderately hot stick, batting .348 over the past 7 days.

OF: Jose Bautista is another Blue Jay who mashes AJ Burnett. How does 6/14 with 2 doubles and 3 home runs sound? Sounds great to me, I'll take a few more homers and doubles tonight. Bautista is off to a hot start this year with 9 home runs and 21 RBI. Alex Rios went 0-3 with a walk last night against a lefty. This lowered his splits on the year to .400/.444/.725. He faces another lefty tonight. I'll play the law of averages saying he does not have two back to back no hit nights. George Springer: The young Houston outfielder is starting to slowly show why he was highly touted. The past 7 days he is batting .333 with 1 double. He has proven a value today, hitting his first MLB homer against Drew Smyly. Alex Gordon is another Royal who I think is on the verge of waking up offensively. The last two games he has two hits and a double. He is also a cheaper option for my outfield tonight. For the late night games I am using Giancarlo Stanton. He has not done well on the road (Remember those woeful Marlins road splits?). He is batting .200/.245/.420. He does do well against Ian Kennedy, 4/11 with 2 home runs. He can have a good night tonight against Kennedy. No-one else can, or it will screw up my daily fantasy score. Hunter Pence likes facing Josh Beckett, he is 8/19 with one homer. Carl Crawford is heating up, and is a cheap option for the late games tonight. He is batting .423 with 1 home run in the last 7 days.

That's it, unless the XM Fantasy Sports guys have better ideas. I will try not to tinker.

Daily Musing 5/7/2014: FINALLY

Recap:

I finally had a good day in the daily fantasy game. I placed in the money in 8/11 leagues I entered. I know I did way too much tinkering before the leagues started, but I am glad I did. The one lineup I thought was a shoo-in was the only one I did not finish in the money. I am going to just use two lineups today, or try just to use two. I am going to play the early games with one lineup and the evening games with another. Let's hope I can do well on back to back nights.

Pitchers:

Early: James Shields was scorched for 7 earned runs in his last start. The Tigers destroyed him, and I was glad I had him on my bench for my yearly AL only league. I look for a big bounce back facing a Padres team who struggle against bad pitching. The only hesitation I have in using Shields is the opposing pitcher. Cashner has been tough all year, and the Royals bats leave much to be desired over the past week. Hopefully they can eke out a few runs and Shields gets the win and tons of strikeouts. The Padres do not have many at-bats vs. Shields, but just for fun here what they are batting against him in a collective 43 at bats, .116/.191/.279 with 18 strikeouts.

Late Rick Porcello is getting some love tonight. He faces the Astros, which is reason enough to start him. He also looked dominant in his last start verse the Royals. Honestly, everyone has been looking dominant verse the Royals for the last week. He is not a strikeout pitcher, but he is a cheap option on Fanduel. I think he can pitch deep into the game and get the win for some cheap points.

Hitters:

C: Early: Johnathan Lucroy. I am not sure why fanduel has Lucroy at his current price. He is way cheap compared to other catchers of his caliber. He is also batting third in the Brewers order because of injuries. Until his price increases he is a plug in play. He has done ok against Arroyo to the tune of 4/14 with 2 doubles. Over the last 7 games he is batting .333 with 1 double.

Late: I'm going with Yan Gomes He is a cheaper option, and I want to get Tulowitzki and Cabrera in my lineup for the night. He is only batting .231 over the last 7 days, and .255 for the year.

1B: Early Paul Goldschmidt. He love batting in Milwaukee at Miller Park. In the past three years he is batting .455/.500/.955. This total is going up. He has homered today.

Late: Miguel Cabrera. He burned me on Monday going 0-4. He had a huge night last night going 4/5 with a double and a home run. Hopefully I am not a jinx, and he crushes the Houston pitcher again tonight.

2B: Early: Robinson Cano He is 4/8 vs Straily, and is a steady .308/.357/.423 over the last 7 days.

Late: Another cheap option. I am going with the DJ LeMahieu. This is my token Colorado bat besides Tulo. I know they are in Texas tonight, but that's not much of a drop-off in ballpark offense.

3B: Early: Casey McGehee: Can't ignore the hot numbers, and the fact he is batting behind Giancarlo Stanton. Over the past 7 days he is batting .433 with 4 doubles. He does not have a homer on the year, but does 23 RBI.

Late: Carlos Santana. I am going to bank on him getting it going tonight against Ricky Nolasco. He is 0/1 with 2 walks against him. He is batting a putrid .095 the last 7 days. He has 2 hits in this span, but he has made them count with a double and a home run. He also has 4 walks, at least his OBP is in the 200's at .240.

SS: Early I went with a super cheap option in Jordy Mercer. He is batting a poor .161 on the year, but I needed a cheap option to keep Cano and Goldschmidt in the lineup. I wanted Chris Owings, but the Diamondbacks gave him the day off.

Late: Troy Tulowitzki: Last 7 days: .591/.667/.955

As it stands now I am in the money in all three of the early leagues I entered. As long as James Shields does well I should finish in the moneyJ.
