DFS Amateur Hour - Tuesday Lineups

Written by

Published on June 16, 2015

I didn't love this slate initially because there are no ace starters. Maybe Jake Arrieta qualifies, but he's up against a tough Indians lineup and a decent starting pitcher. Instead, I went all in with Garrett Richards at home against the Diamondbacks, putting him in 10 of my 12 lineups, including the two $25 50/50s. I hope he pitches better than his last time out.

I have Trevor Bauer in Chicago in my other two. I have little faith in him, but the Cubs strike out a lot at least.

Here are the lineups:

I used a lot of Dodgers (betting on the Chi Chi Gonzalez correction), Angels (going against Jeremy Hellickson) and Pirates. I wanted to stack more Orioles, but Matt Wieters and Adam Jones were scratched, so I used mostly Chris Davis and Manny Machado. I also used a couple Mets stacks - something I'm sure I'll regret.
