Tuesday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 7/25/17
July 25, 2017 13:30 - 38 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the MLB podcast to break down all of the Tuesday action in baseball. They start the discussion with Madison Bumgarner who looks to be the chalk play on both sites tonight, but especially on DraftKings at $9700. That price seems like something of a mistake. After him they take a look at Jameson Taillon going against the Giants even though he’s an underdog. Then they break down Charlie Morton and disagree a little bit on Jacob Faria. Plenty of other p...

July 21, 2017 14:00 - 39 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Friday podcast to discuss DFS MLB action for FanDuel and DraftKings. Chris Sale is the clear top option though we need to consider his price which is off the charts on both sites. Then there’s Jeff Samardzija as a solid plan B if you don’t want to spend. Shark’s been amazing with his peripherals this season though has struggled with some of the luck factors. Alex Wood is another top arm who’s having close to a Cy Young season. On the offensive...

July 19, 2017 14:00 - 38 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the podcast to discuss a full day of baseball action for FanDuel and DraftKings. There’s a ton to discuss with multiple slates going for both sites. For the early slate they discuss Dan Straily in a good matchup against the Phillies. There are other names to consider like James Paxton even though he’s in a rough matchup against the Astros (though they are now without Carlos Correa). For stacking early it’s all the Rockies on DraftKings though on Fan...

July 06, 2017 14:00 - 37 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Thursday pod to break down the two MLB slates for FanDuel and DraftKings. On the early they talk about the overall lack of pitching and how there are just very few trustworthy options going. They do discuss Michael Wacha as a potential guy to roll out there in cash games. For the evening, it’s the opposite issue with Chris Sale as the clear cut option for cash game purposes. There are other big arms with some upside including Rich Hill, Robbie R...

Friday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 6/30/17
June 30, 2017 14:00 - 40 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the podcast to discuss a full night in baseball. They start with the discussion around the top three pitchers on the slate: Jacob deGrom, Alex Wood, Lance Mccullers. There are cases for and against each and it mostly centers on price. deGrom is very expensive but has been excellent this season. Wood’s been an ace but there are always some pitch count concerns with the Dodgers. And finally, McCullers is coming the cheapest of the three but is just two...
Thursday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 6/29/17
June 29, 2017 14:30 - 36 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the podcast to break down a double slate of MLB action for Thursday on DraftKings and FanDuel. There’s a to dive into here. They spend the first couple of minutes on the early slate where Corey Kluber is the clear cash game play on the mound of for the Indians. The sites do get a little tricky with Fanduel offering only the first three games and DraftKings having the entire five game afternoon affair. For the evening the guys discuss Clayton Kershaw...

June 28, 2017 14:00 - 35 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the podcast to discuss the Wednesday evening slate of MLB action for FanDuel and DraftKings. They start with Stephen Strasburg against the Cubs. He’s the most expensive SP on the slate and is actually in a decent matchup against Chicago who have struggled this season. There are plenty of other pitchers to consider as well including Masahiro Tanaka, Rick Porcello, Trevor Bauer, David Paulino and Yu Darvish. They discuss the pros and cons of each. ...
Tuesday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 6/27/17
June 27, 2017 14:30 - 34 minutesThe DFSR crew of James Davis and Doug Norrie break down a full Tuesday in baseball with a ton to talk about. They start with Max Scherzer and how high his ownership will be considering the price. He’s clearly the best pitcher on the slate with his K rate and season stats. The Cubs haven’t been all that good this season, though some of that is BABIP-related. They also discuss plenty of other arms like Luis Severino, James Paxton, Justin Verlander, Kenta Maeda and Drew Pomeranz in the startin...
Friday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 6/23/17
June 23, 2017 13:00 - 31 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to a somewhat quicker podcast to talk a full Friday in baseball. Plenty to break down here with the some top tier pitching options taking the bump. They look at Stephen Strasburg against the Reds and Chris Archer facing off against the Orioles. They also spend some time on cheaper options like Alex Wood and Rick Porcello. For the bats, things are a bit more spread out with the Red Sox in a solid spot against Alex Meyer, the Indians taking on Aldalbe...

June 22, 2017 14:00 - 35 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the post o discuss a double slate of Thursday baseball action. There’s a lot to like about today with some solid pitching options plus of course a game in Coors early. They start buy discussing the early slate of games where Carlos Martinez is the clear SP1 pitching option facing a Philly squad striking out the fifth most in the majors against righty pitching. They also get into Jose Quintana and David Paulino. Of course there are plenty of stack...
Wednesday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 6/21/17
June 21, 2017 14:00 - 31 minutesDFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the pod to break down the early afternoon and evening MLB slates for FanDuel and DraftKings. The pitching appears rather clear today with Max Scherzer likely the chalk cash game play on the early slate.

For the evening slate they take a look at Jeff Samardzija, James Paxton, ...
Friday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 6/16/17
June 16, 2017 14:30 - 35 minutesIt’s a huge MLB podcast today with a full slate of evening games happening for FanDuel and DraftKings. DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis break down the slate starting with pitching. With so many decent pitchers going it’s a little weird to see run lines up across the industry. They see Max Scherzer and Luis Severino as the clear cash game pitchers though as each comes in with plus matchups and have been electric this season. They also discuss James Paxton, Carlos Carrasco, Carlos Martinez,...
Thursday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 6/15/17
June 15, 2017 14:00 - 32 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Thursday MLB podcast to discuss the early and evening slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. The early slate lookalike a real mess with pitching considering just about every team has an implied run-line of 4.8 or higher. The real talk is on the evening slate where Chris Sale highlights the cash game pitching. He’ll be a chalk play for sure on both sites especially with his FanDuel price still sitting below 12K. They also discuss Michael Wacha and wh...
Wednesday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 6/14/17
June 14, 2017 14:30 - 39 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take the podcast to discuss the early afternoon and evening slate of MLB action this Wednesday. For the afternoon offering they discuss how Johnny Cueto will likely be a chalk play against a weak-hitting Royal squad in San Fran. For the hitters, the Nationals likely become the popular cash game game stack and they even break down a solid matchup for the lowly Padres. On the evening where Corey Kluber will also be a popular starting pitching play on a nig...
Tuesday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 6/13/17
June 13, 2017 14:00 - 29 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the baseball podcast to discuss a full Tuesday in MLB. They start with the most pressing questions, “Can you pay up for Clayton Kershaw in this spot?” It’s close considering his price, the lower money line and the matchup against the Indians. They also discuss what to think about David Price here and whether he can be trusted in a matchup against the Phillies. He’s struggled in two out of his three games since coming back from injury. They also tal...
Friday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 6/9/17
June 09, 2017 14:00 - 29 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take the Friday pod to talk a full slate of baseball for DraftKings and FanDuel. This day is highlighted (maybe low lighted) by having a ton of terrible arms taking the mound. For pitcher the list is short with Corey Kluber as the clear cash game target. He’s a big favorite though will cost you on DraftKings. After him they discuss Michael Wacha and Brad Peacock as starting pitcher two types. On the offensive side of things there are almost too many stacks...
Thursday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 6/8/17
June 08, 2017 14:00 - 34 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis breakdown a double slate of Thursday baseball action for FanDuel and DraftKings. There’s a lot to like about both the afternoon and evening slate of games. For the early they talk about Johnny Cueto who’ll likely be a chalk play on both sites against the Brewers. They also discuss Michael Fulmer as the likely SP2 on DraftKings. Both sides of the Reds and Cardinals game appear to be the cash game way to go though Detroit is also expected to put up runs. F...
Tuesday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 6/6/17
June 06, 2017 14:30 - 34 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis break down a full Tuesday in baseball. There’s a ton to discuss especially considering how many solid arms are taking the mound. This is where the decisions will likely be the hardest. The guys break down a whole slew of guys like Chris Archer, James Paxton, Jake Arrieta, Marco Estrada who are all striking out more than 10 guys per nine this season and in favorable matchups. But there’s even more like Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer and Robbie Ray coming at sli...
Friday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 6/2/17
June 02, 2017 14:30 - 33 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to a Friday podcast to discuss a ton of MLB action. There’s quite a bit to break down with a bunch of ace-level starters taking the mound. They start with Clayton Kershaw leads the way as the likely cash play across the industry. Even though he’s coming off a rough start against the Cubs, he has a great matchup against the K-happy Brewers. They also discuss Stephen Strasburg and his K upside over the last couple of games, Dallas Keuchel and Yu Darvish...
Thursday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 6/1/17
June 01, 2017 14:00 - 26 minutesDFRS’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the podcast to break down a short, double slate in baseball. Many teams are off today, narrowing down the choices on both sides of the ball. For the early slate they discuss Corey Kluber and whether or not he’ll be on a pitch count. They also talk Zack Wheeler and Brandon McCarthy as other options there. For the early bats they see Cleveland as the clear leaders for stacking in cash games with the Mets in a good spot as well against Chase Anderson....
Tuesday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 5/30/17
May 30, 2017 14:30 - 34 minutesIt’s a full Tuesday in baseball with every team going tonight. The guys start with talk about Mike Trout’s injury and the Bryce Harper brawl from yesterday. Then they transition to Chris Sale and how high his ownership will be on FanDuel in particular. He’s not in the greatest matchup with the White Sox who have hit lefties really well this season. The moneyline is a little low you’ll see on Sale in general but he’s still likely the overwhelming chalk. There are other pitchers to consider...
Friday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 5/26/17
May 26, 2017 15:00 - 29 minutesIt’s the start of the holiday weekend and the DFSR guys are here to break down a full Friday in baseball. They start out talking about the clear cash game play in Max Scherzer. He faces an absolutely horrible Padres team and is the highest money line pitcher on the day. He’ll likely be chalk across the industry. They also discuss Jacob deGrom and Chris Archer among the other expensive arms going today. There’s some discussion about where to go with starting pitcher two on DraftKings consi...
Thursday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 5/25/17
May 25, 2017 14:00 - 25 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis sit for a face-to-face MLB pod talking a double slate of Thursday baseball. They start with James’ story of getting bit by a dog and then transition to the early afternoon games. The Yankees-Royals game was postponed meaning there are serious questions about pitching. They discuss Tyler Anderson and Vincent Velasquez. The Nationals bats look like the cash game stack for the early. Then there’s the evening slate with Jacob deGrom as the clear cash game play...
Tuesday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 5/24/17
May 23, 2017 16:00 - 26 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis sit down for a face-to-face podcast discussing a full Tuesday in baseball. Clearly the biggest question today is whether or not to pay up for Clayton Kershaw. He’s seen the strikeouts dip some this season and is still very expensive. The reason we can possibly pivot off of Kershaw is Lance McCullers who’s in a great spot today against the righty-heavy Tigers. He’s a big money line favorite and has put up excellent numbers this season. They also discuss che...
Friday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 5/19/17
May 19, 2017 14:30 - 33 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis discuss a full Friday in baseball. They start with pitchers and discuss the true ace in Chris Sale taking the mound. He’s been phenomenal this season striking out more than 13 batters per nine and walking less than two. Sale is the early favorite for the AL Cy Young. They also spend some time talking about Luis Severino’s early successes and whether Alex Wood can be trusted in cash games. There’s also Jacob deGrom discussion and whether he’s worth it in hi...
Thursday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 5/18/17
May 18, 2017 14:30 - 32 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis discuss a split slate of Thursday baseball. The big theme today is lack of pitching. On the early afternoon slate we have Jon Lester but there are 20 MPH winds blowing out to in Chicago and that could make problems for him on the mound. Of course we want to stack the Cubs’ side of that game and they’ll likely be the chalk bats. In the evening the guys discuss pitchers like Hyun-Jin Ryu, Marcus Stroman, Jordan Montgomery and Julio Teheran. For stacks they...
Tuesday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 5/17/17
May 16, 2017 14:00 - 33 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take a look at a full Tuesday slate of baseball with a bunch of good pitchers taking the mound. But each of those guys has some question marks as well. Guys like Yu Darvish and Stephen Strasburg have great pedigree and career numbers but there are some troubling signs with each of their dips in K rates this season. Then there’s Rich Hill who struggled in only eight innings this season but he’s had issues with blisters. Hill is coming cheaper than the ab...
Friday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 5/12/17
May 12, 2017 17:30 - 33 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to a packed MLB podcast discussing a full Friday night slate in baseball. For starters, they discuss Clayton Kershaw and his absurdly low $9800 price tag on FanDuel. They are daring you to play him even in Coors and they guys land on you basically being able to grin and bear it. After him they discuss Rick Porcello, Johnny Cueto, Lance McCullers and more with other pitchers in decent upside spots tonight. For stacks James makes the case for the Card...
Thursday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 5/11/17
May 11, 2017 14:30 - 31 minutesThe DFSR guys break down a shorter Thursday slate of MLB for FanDuel and DraftKings. It’s an interesting night with some name pitchers in some less than exciting matchups. The guys discuss whether you can roster a guy like Michael Pineda in cash games facing a good Astros’ team in Yankee Stadium. They also break down Gerrit Cole, Zack Greinke, Marco Estrada and even talk a little JC Ramirez and Derek Holland. On the offensive side of things the cash game stacking options actually look fairl...
Friday DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 5/5/17
May 05, 2017 16:30 - 39 minutesOn today's DFSR MLB Podcast, Doug and James break down a full Friday slate. There are a lot of great pitcher options tonight, from Strasburg, to Darvish, to Archer - but to what degree should we be concerned about each of them posting declines in their peripheral stats this season? And what about Kenta Maeda's inflated ERA? The guys break down which stats matter this early in the season, which stats we can ignore, and the degree to which we should trust a small sample size vs. a career-long b...
Thursday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 5/4/17
May 04, 2017 14:30 - 30 minutesIt’s a double slate of MLB game for Thursday with a bunch starting at 1PM EST and then a shorter five-game slate in the evening. The theme of the day is the chalk pitchers on each slate. For the afternoon it’s clearly Max Scherzer even up against a tougher Diamondbacks’ offense. Max is an overwhelming money line favorite going in and clearly the best talent going today. You can also pair him with John Lackey on DraftKings in the starting pitcher two slot. Lackey is in a solid matchup against ...
Tuesday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 5/2/17
May 02, 2017 14:30 - 29 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the baseball podcast to discuss a full slate of evening games. There’s a lot to discuss, especially on the pitching side. Chris Sale headlines the talk as he’s been an ace’s ace this season. His numbers are in the Kershaw level with elite K’s and really limiting the walks. He’s almost certainly the chalk cash game pitcher. The guys also discuss Carlos Martinez, Jon Lester, Alex Wood, and James Paxton as considerations. On the offensive side of thin...
Friday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 4/28/17
April 28, 2017 15:00 - 26 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to a Friday MLB podcast to discuss a full slate of evening games. There’s a lot to like going in with Max Scherzer taking the mound against a struggling Mets’ team. He comes in as, likely, the cash game pitcher based on pedigree, matchup and upside. But the guys also discuss Robbie Ray, Jeff Samardzija, and possibly even Jacob deGrom as tournament guys. For the offenses they take a look at the Astros facing a weak Jharrel Cotton arm, the Angels agai...
Thursday MLB DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 4/27/17
April 27, 2017 14:30 - 30 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the MLB podcast to discuss a couple of short slates for Thursday baseball. There’s a lot to like about both the early and the late. First off, Noah Syndergaard was scratched after they posted the podcast and Matt Harvey will take his spot in the rotation. But the early slate also features Corey Kluber, Justin Verlander and Carlos Martinez. The Cardinals are in a good spot all day in their double header against the Blue Jays, facing Mat Latos and Ca...
