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 (15 game slate)
- First pick: Betts came in as the top dog with Yelich being hurt and his starting status is up in the air
- Rounding out your first round picks: Betts, Yelich, Martinez, Acuna
- Chalk (players owned in 100% of drafts): Betts, Yelich, Matrinez, Acuna, Story, Arenado, Wheeler, Verlander,
It’s not just MLB we crush as a team
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: We have a lot of great pitchers going into tough match ups. I’m not leaning any specific direction so I’m saving it for last tonight.
- infield: Not much weather to worry about, but bats seem to be pretty flat today in both positions. No one is really standing out as a must have tonight.
- outfield: With the addition on DH tied into OF, there are always more choices here vs. infield.
Player spotlight: Everyday we high-light one player that went undrafted. Feeling contrarian tonight? Look no further than Hunter Dozier. Projected on Draft at 7.9 (as of this writing) he’s flying under the radar. Again. He didn’t play last night and has been forgotten today.
