Pitching is a little weak in tonight’s Daily Fantasy contests as the top two are about the only ones you would really want, but both Noah Syndergaard and Jose Fernandez are very expensive. You get a big drop after that. We’ll take Syndergaard against the Phillies and will take the opposing pitcher in this matchup. Its not the worst strategy in the world. Jerad Eickhoff has been pretty solid for Philadelphia and the Mets lineup doesn’t really scare me. That will leave us with enough money to put together a decent lineup. We spent most of our money in the outfield with Stanton, Pence, and Braun. Tonight’s top prize in the $3 DraftKings contest is $50k! Contest starts at 7:05 ET.
