DFS Amateur Hour - Sunday Lineups

I'm bleeding away bankroll like a lottery winner sucked dry by extended family and various hangers-on. I lost another $20 on four $5 Rallys last night to drop my bankroll to $1388.61.

For today I set four $5 Rally lineups, but then doubled up on them in a $2 MLB Squeeze because it looked like there might be overlay. And in fact it turned out there was: 3307 entries at $2 per equals $6614 taken in, but there are $7,000 in prizes.

I did modify one of the lineups just to get another stack in, so all told, I set five unique ones among the eight:

I went with Stephen Strasburg in five of eight lineups, Noah Syndergaard in two and Alec Asher (for $3000) in one. I'll probably get burned starting so many A's and Cardinals - lineups locked before the teams' lineups were published, but in big tournaments, that's often a gamble worth taking because I assume most people stayed away.
