DFS Amateur Hour - Monday Lineups

First, a quick postscript from Friday: I failed to cash in all but one lineup. I paid $69, took back $10 for a loss of $59, bringing my bankroll down to $1586.11. It's hard to get too worked up about DFS losses these days though when I'm taking a much worse beating in the stock market... Okay, let's take a look at tonight's slate:

I wanted to use a $2200 Brandon Moss everywhere against last-minute sub Jhoulys Chacin, but the Cardinals are apparently getting tired of his act because he's on the bench. I subbed in Austin Jackson and Mark Trumbo in a couple places as a result. I had originally intended to play only four lineups, but wanted to get some Cardinals and White Sox stacks, so I added two more in the Rally #3, a smaller $5 tournament (The bigger one was full.) I like the Cardinals due to Chacin and the White Sox because the wind is blowing out at 10-15 mph.

The only two pitchers I used were Hisashi Iwakuma and Jacob DeGrom. Otherwise my most commonly owned players are: Stephen Drew (3) and Jhonny Peralta (3).
