The Change-Up: Contrarian MLB DFS plays for Monday
With Major League Baseball back in (relatively) full swing, daily fantasy baseball comes along with it, and every day we’ll offer “The Change-Up,” a GPP-focused article for DFS on FanDuel and DraftKings. Baseball is a very high-variance sport, and most times you’ll find my plays to tend toward the contrarian, hence the article’s name. Going […]
