DFS Amateur Hour - Tuesday Lineups

I put in 17 lineups today, 16 in the $5, $250K MLB Super Rally and one $10 entry in a satellite to the $350K MLB Super Slugger (worth $1,065) next Wednesday.

I went heavy on Corey Kluber - 10 of the 15 $5 lineups and also the $10 one. I like him better than Max Scherzer because he's at home and facing the Mariners rather than in Yankee Stadium opposing Masahiro Tanaka. I threw in three lineups with Sonny Gray at home against the Rangers (missing Adrian Beltre) and one each with Anibal Sanchez (facing the strikeout-prone Cubs), Noah Syndergaard (at home against the Giants without Hunter Pence) and Eduardo Rodriguez (which was probably a waste of $5 in Baltimore.) I opted for those three cheaper pitchers to get Giancarlo Stanton into more lineups because I like his odds to go deep in Toronto against lefty Mark Buehrle.

Here are the full lineups:

Besides Kluber, I have a ton of Stanton (8 lineups), Correa (8), McCutchen (5), Walker (5), Alvarez (5), Gomes (4) and Grandal (4).

I entered the Satellite because last time I did it, I'm pretty sure there was a decent overlay. Today, 112 people got in, meaning FanDuel took in $1120 for a $1065 seat for a 5.2 percent rake. That's not too bad.
