DFS Amateur Hour - Monday Lineups

A quick postscript from Friday: I bought in for $90, took back $82.50 for a loss of $7.50, bringing my bankroll to $1711.61.

I usually don't do a Monday slate, but Jeff Erickson baited me into using Colin Rea ($3000) today on the radio. I actually didn't set a full lineup on the air, but given what happened last week, I figured I'd go through the exercise. It turns out I missed the boat on the big contests but managed to enter two "Lucky 7" $7 small entry ones. Here are the lineups:

It was hard to spend all the money with Rea if I stacked, so I just went with uncorrelated stars for the most part. I had intended to use Yan Gomes, but Jonathan Lucroy has a great matchup and was cheaper. For the second lineup, I gambled on Rodon building off his last start, and stacked Brewers at home. I hope I don't post too big a number because the maximum prize for this contest is only $250.
