2013 Fantasy Baseball Daily Fix: August 23
Today I’m playing in a Triple Up contest where the top 12 finishers out of 40 participants can make a little cash. But today you can also register for the $100K Sweet Spot contest. DraftKings is paying out a combined $100,000 to the top 250 finishers in today’s contest. Also, it’s not too late to get involved in daily fantasy baseball at DK, and they’re also getting ready to start NFL and college football games as well. So don’t forget to claim your deposit bonus when you sign up.
