DFS Amateur Hour - Friday Lineups

I got a late start, but it was my own fault this time. I was too busy arguing against the wait-on-quarterback-no-matter-what zealots on Twitter, recorded a podcast (no idea why the audio is so low) then didn't leave enough time to set all my DFS lineups. As a result, I only put in seven, five $5 MLB Rallys, one $25 Grand Slam and one for Tout Wars. I didn't have time to do a $25 head to head, but I will on Tuesday. Here's what I played:

I used three pitchers among the seven lineups - Clayton Kershaw (4), Jake Odorizzi (2) and Jacob deGrom (1). I stacked Nationals heavily against Jorge de la Rosa and Tigers against Joe Kelly. I also used some Cardinals against Tyler Cravy and Diamondbacks against Raisel Iglesias. My most common players are: Ryan Zimmerman (5), Jayson Werth (5), Victor Martinez (4), J.D. Martinez (4), Anthony Gose (4) and Kolten Wong (3),
