Fantasy Baseball Daily Fix: September 20, 2013
DraftKings Team of the Day
MLB’s regular season is winding down, but the action at DraftKings is still red hot. You’ve got plenty of chances to earn some cash every day, and that’s what I’m doing by playing in a $3 Double Up contest where 25 of the 50 participants will almost double their buy-in. You can also play in DK’s NFL and college football games each week, so when you sign up don’t forget to claim your deposit bonus.
