FanDuel Strategies
You may notice that I tend to favor players who have high on base percentage when I select for FanDuel. This is your best chance to win as outs are negative points in this format. Trying to get as few negative points as possible helps your cause.

Today’s Pick
Cincinnati +102 at San Francisco
The logic here is quite simple. Anytime you can get a pitcher leading for the NL Cy Young award as an underdog, you take it. That is what we are getting tonight as Cueto faces off against a struggling Giants offense
Bet one unit on the Reds to win 1.1 units
Yesterday�s pick review
New York +136 vs Pittsburgh
Well, I was completely right about the Pirates not being able to hit Dice-K. However, Dice-K had a lot of trouble finding the strike zone, walking a bunch, throwing wild pitches, and hitting batters. Vance Worley actually pitched well too so who knows what happened..
Bet one unit on the Mets to win 1.3 units-Incorrect
Record for the year: 12- 12 +1.3 Units

Monda’s FanDuel Results
Well Cole Hamels and a few of our hitters came through for us. However, we went heavy on the Giants and that held us back from cashing
