I'll be setting Tuesday's lineups in a subsequent post but need to catch up on Friday's results. I bought in for $80 (two $25 contests and six $5 ones) and cashed for $97.50 for a profit of $17.50. My bankroll was 1310.10, now it's $1327.60. I also won my $25 heads up against csuram88, putting me at 5-2 against the pros. Unfortunately, it was my highest score of the day, and I wasted it on a heads up.
The key to my win was Andrew Cashner, a player Derek VanRiper mentioned on the SXM show Friday and of whom I initially was skeptical. But I had a bad feeling about Max Scherzer at Pittsburgh (a tough place to win) and Corey Kluber (who's been inconsistent) against the White Sox. A cheap Cashner against the Marlins at home turned out to be the right play (other than Jose Quintana whom I didn't think to own.) I'm still going with aces most of the time, but I'm not going to be dogmatic about any particular strategy.
