One week ago, I had to completely revamp my template for Monday’s DFS article because the schedule included just three games. Now, we’re right back to the original setup, where 26 teams will take the field in 13 games on the main slate.
Every large slate is different from the last. Sometimes, we have a bevy of pitching options, while others are clearly going to point to using our DFS budget on hitters. In this particular slate, we will quickly see that pitchers are going to make things quite difficult for us. It’s not just the overall state of the field. The risk-reward balance for so many names is a problem, and I even had to trim the list below compared to other large slates of the past.
