I feel a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, like a broken record here but these Saturday slates are killing me. Once again we have four whole games in prime time on a Saturday night. I’m pretty much all set with four game slates. I’ve voiced my opinions on slate size before, but in case you’ve missed it, I prefer a bigger slate. More choices means the worse DFS players are more likely to slip up. It also means there are more choices for digging up some value. In small slates, good plays are more obvious, so everyone has them. We’re better DFSers than the herd here at Razzball, so we want more ways to separate ourselves from the pack. For this reason, I’ll be focusing on the “early” slate, locking at 2 PM ET where we have eleven games to choose from, which is much better for us. For that eleven game slate I’m going with ol’ reliable, “Rockies on the road” and the benefactor of that, James Paxton ($23,900). Pax is tossing video game numbers this year with an 11.7 K/9 and only 2.7 BB/9. That’s a difference of 9 or in other words, a total stud. The FIP (2.91) lower than his ERA (3.39) is encouraging as well. Toss in the Rockies bats turning to limp noodles away from Coors and you’ve got yourself a stud pitcher for the day.
