The first Sunday slate of the MLB season has arrived. With plenty of first-week highlights and storylines, fantasy managers have been keeping a close eye on the action. That means there’s been increased attention paid to daily fantasy lineup decisions. That’s where we come in.
Our MLB DFS Tools are jam-packed with content targeted at providing the knowledge you need to make winning lineup and roster decisions for any slate on any day — from projections, optimal lineups, past results comparisons, a salary tracker and much more.
Today, we highlight our Optimizer tool, a unique tool that allows you to craft an ideal lineup, but with restrictions based on who you want to anchor your roster around. With it, you are able to generate custom DFS lineups utilizing our algorithmic and simulation-based projections. You also have the ability to adjust each player’s usage and projected points on the fly. The tool also provides a number of useful filters, including which daily fantasy site you are using, the type of game played and the timeframe/slate of games you want to include.
This preview features an Optimized MLB lineup for Sunday night’s late slate, featuring an AL West showdown between the Astros and Angels:
