"The next thing I know Heyward's hands are in the air without a bat. I said, 'What's going on?' " -- Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez, after the team won on a walk-off balkDaily blurb
Tonight’s freeroll contest at Daily Joust comes with a few tricky aspects. First, the weather outlook looks difficult in 5-7 cities, although no game looks like an automatic washout at this point. If you want to play it safe weatherwise, there are only about six games to pick from. Second, eight American League teams will be playing in National League parks, so eight regular DH’s will be looking for something to do. Plan accordingly. It’s the type of night that I would typically skip playing daily contests. Too much uncertainty. But with a freeroll, there’s nothing ventured but the time it takes to fill out a roster – so I’m in.
If you are into freerolls, Father’s Day bring another – this time at FanDuel. After you register and/or sign in, you’ll find the contest near the top as a “Featured Promo”. My sortable stats won’t have exactly the correct salaries for the freeroll contest, but FanDuel salaries don’t change very much from day to day, so they should be close enough. Top prize is a $150 gift card to Darden Restaurants (Olive Garden, Red Lobster, and a few others), with modest cash prizes going to 2nd-9th place. More than 300 are already entered in this freeroll, so you should probably look to take the “road less traveled”.
I’ll be out-of-office next week, so I’ll probably skip the blurbs, unless I have something important to say – which seems doubtful. All stats should continue to be updated as usual, of course.
