Draftkings Daily Fantasy Baseball Strategy – Everything You Need To Know To Dominate – Updated for 2015

Baseball is one of the more unique sports for daily fantasy purposes. For one thing, baseball statistics are extremely detailed and reliable over the course of a season yet extremely volatile on a game to game basis. Any given day you could pay up for a top dollar slugger and easily get an 0-fer. Random players often go off for big days. Then of course there is the phenomenon of resting players, lineup changes etc. It can all be very confusing.

I spent last season perfecting a system that makes it easy to dominate the competetion when it comes to daily fantasy baseball. The best part is that you don’t need to be a Fantasy Baseball genius to put this system in to play. Some basic knowledge such as, Which teams strike out often, which offenses are relatively good/bad, plus an understanding of lineup construction and stacking teams is all you really need to have success.

The first step in our process is understanding the scoring rules for each site. I’m focusing on Draftkings today because that’s the site I mainly use to play Daily Fantasy Baseball for reasons I will cover shortly. Below is a graphic that covers the scoring rules on Draftkings. Note that Draftkings requires you to use hitters from at least 3 different teams. HOW TO PLAY View Full Rules & Scoring GLOSSARY



Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Construction Strategy

Earlier I mentioned that I mainly play Daily Fantasy Baseball on Draftkings. I do this for two reasons. First is that some of the other sites require using hitters from 4 different teams. That waters down the team stacking strategy I will cover in a moment. The next is the way Draftkings posts starting lineups around an hour before gametime. You need to use the desktop site to take advantage of this but I find seeing the lineup and batting order visualized with salaries to be extremely helpful. As a bonus, Draftkings runs one or two Freerolls per day in baseball so that’s a few dollars less I had to spend in order to test out this methodology.



The number one lesson I learned in my Daily Fantasy Baseball adventures last season was to spend money on the pitcher. The keys are strikeouts and wins. Skimping on the Pitcher spot in order to have extra money to spend on big name sluggers is a risky strategy that rarely paid off as I learned early on. Batters often go hittess and return a zero. Pitchers are always scoring points and they get a sweet 5 point bonus for getting the win. Pitching is relatively consistent in Baseball. I like to check the pitchers stats for their previous few games. Remember, based on the scoring system, we are mainly looking for Strikeouts and Wins. As I mentioned earlier it helps to know which teams strike out often (Think 2014 NY Mets) or are simply bad on Offense (2014 Padres). Sometimes you can find a hidden gem with a lower priced pitcher facing a team with a bad offense. This usually occurs with recent call ups that haven’t had enough time in the Majors to pump up their salaries.
