Diving into the Opening Day DFS slate

Baseball is back! I’m not sure there’s anybody more excited about this than myself, but let’s just all enjoy this together. The only problem with Thursday’s Opening Day is that it’s a two-game slate, and I absolutely hate two-game slates! Give me a couple of more games, as I generally like more options than this! […]
