This article focuses primarily on 3-Man snake draft strategy. Reason being is that you can easily apply this information to H2H as well as widen up to 4-Man contests, which is the average size of the daily GPPs. I’m going to break down what I saw in 20-30 drafts today and how we can exploit our opponents using our tools over on DFS Army.

Quick Trends (20 game sample)

  • Carpenter rolling into Coors tonight was your top choice with an ave draft placement of 1.1 in snake drafts today
  • rounding out your first round was Ramirez, Davis, Hill, Folty, Stanton, Clevinger, and Stanton
  • Chalk: Everyone above (yes 3 pitchers again tonight) and Lindor, Blackmon, and Acuna. 73% chalk opens up a little wiggle room and there are a whole lotta pivots tonight.

Draft Projections & Rankings

The default draft rankings by position in Draft for their top positions. While most of these would be solid plays, they are vastly different than our projections and grades we developed in house at DFS Army where take into account many different metrics that these do not. Combining our brand new Starting Lineups Page, Domination Station, Articles, and research station, you can quickly see where some players in absolute smash spots should be drafted higher than what’s on this list.

Strategy

  • Pitching: This one’s up to you tonight really. There’s 3 solid pitchers running for this type of format and there’s merits to going early or late. We discussed this already in Slack today.
  • Hitting: No less than 23 options tonight you can go with and not be said they’re on your team.

Player spotlight: Everyday we high-light one player that went undrafted. Feeling contrarian tonight? Look no further than  Paul Goldschmidt. Making his second debut on this list of undrafted players, his numbers speak for him. Yes it’s a RvR match up tonight, but he still has a .500 ISO against right handed pitchers.
