2014 Fantasy Baseball Daily Fix: August 6th

Welcome to another edition of the daily fix here at the Fantasy Fix. For those of you that haven’t switched your accounts at Draftstreet over to Draftkings should go ahead and do so now. The funds will transfer over and you can begin playing immediately. Right now, we are in a phase where baseball is the only major sport going right now, but college football and the NFL are right around the corner.

If you are anything like me, your fantasy season may be going down the drain. Fantasy playoffs begin in less than a month for some leagues, so it might be a lost cause for some of you. With daily fantasy baseball you can crash and burn and come back fresh the next day. Keep your eye on Draftkings because it offers the same refresher for fantasy football fans.

We are playing the one dollar early double up contest today. There are four early games, so the choices are somewhat limited, but everyone has to deal with the same limitations. We will offer two lineups. The first lineup is the one I will be using today and the second one provides some reasonable alternatives.
