Strategies for daily leagues

[frae]

This site is good to give you a ballpark on the weather, and then I will go to weather.com for the hourly reports.

1B - Votto
2B - Gyorko
3B - Longoria
SS - Pennington
OF - Ellsbury
OF - Trout
OF - Hamilton
P - Griffin


Cincy game delayed, 8:10pm start.

the tarp is coming off in cincy with an 8:10 start time ...hope it holds

Anyone know yet if they do cancel the Pirates game will the accumulated stats count? or will it wipe back out to zero since the game didn't count?

[frae]

They have live help chat, here is their answer...

Dylan at FanDuel: Unfortunately if a game is postponed before it becomes "official" all stats are disregarded by the MLB
Dylan at FanDuel: as we use their official stats provider, STATS inc points wouldn't count for postponed games

This is not going well.......

Nope, my Angels 3 had a chance to do good things last inning, but a pair of RBI singels with 0 runs scored only got my 4 points. Gonna need some late game heroics from someone and one hell of a game from Griffin.

PIT STL is PPD...im doing terrible also. But I have the Oak OF to save me I guess.

It's so easy to overthink this.....I had Juan Francisco in my "initial" lineup pre-STL-PIT rainout scare. oh well.

I was this/close to posting about your Francisco call.

Who is everyone going with at SP today? Lots of studs are starting, but they're $$$. Kershaw has the Padres, but he costs a boatload of cash.

Yeah I have Posey, Walker and Marte in. I am still double checking the local weather here in Pittsburgh. I also like Trout at 4100 and have been trying to decide if I like Segura or Ian Desmond better at 3400. Oh well, hopefully we get a few winners tonight. AJ Griffin will be the big key though. Good luck Ed!

Edit : Pirates game starts at 7 the rain is coming at a little after 9. Hopefully they can get the whole game in.

Hey thanks Keith for this great weather update. I managed to remove Craig, Marte & Walker from my lineup, and while the team I ended with was not optimal, I didn't get wiped out by the postponement like some others probably did. So despite a middling day (31.75 pts), I finished in the money in both my $10 & $25 Double Up leagues. Good stuff.

FOUR games today in danger of being postponed:
SF@MLW - 90% - 100% chance of rain at gametime
NYM@COL - 100% chance of snow
LAA@MIN - 100% chance of rain
TEX@CHC - 70%-100% chance of rain

this could be another good day if you avoid all four, since others probably won't!

Milwaukee has a retractable roof, so I assume it will be closed today.

No problem Ed, I figure we should try to help each other out when we can here.

Anyway, I am looking at going with Shelby Miller. The Bucs can K a lot, and if you go up to the next tier the cost is pretty high. I will work on a lineup now.

I was between him and Detwiler. Think I'm going with Detwiler against the Marlins. Right now, I have:

Kratz
Votto
Phillips
Longoria
Peralta
Swisher
Rajai Davis
Marte
