Today, I’m playing in a Double Up! contest. They range anywhere from a dollar to ten dollars, but each works the same way. If you finish in the top half you get almost twice as much as you put in. Naturally, DraftKings gets their cut because they have to pay their employees, the light bill, and make a little for their trouble. That being said, they are very generous to those that start playing as they will give you a deposit bonus you can access here.

Friday is a new day for me and another one of those days when we see a new series for most teams. It also happens to be the first day of summer on the calendar. School is out for most students (save those few giving it another go) and draft picks are beginning to sign and move on to their minor league assignments. The dog days are upon us.

It is that way for those us playing in regular fantasy baseball. It is easy to let that lineup slip for a few days as we get into the general malaise of June. Sure, there are some hot call ups that make us all stand up and take notice. Otherwise, it gets to be a grind. Every day is a new day at Draftkings and even if the day before was a struggle tomorrow is a new day. So, let’s embrace today’s lineup with the same zeal we had on opening day.

My Lineup

For those that haven’t followed my daily fixes and expected another perspective today, I wanted to make sure you understood that the alternative lineup is not necessarily meant to stand alone. It was meant to provide a reasonable alternative at each position, so the total salaries will not necessarily add up to the 50,000 cap.

A Reasonable Alternative
