However, our DFS strategy notes are going to be a little more streamlined from here on out. Rest assured, we’re still digging into the stat splits to highlight favorable and unfavorable hitter and pitcher matchups, but we’re just listing the names you need to know if you’re looking for a stud worth his high price tag or a few value plays.

For the most part, we’re taking for granted that the majority of DFS players know that most lefthanded pitchers do well against lefthanded hitters (reverse-platoon busters will be noted), and we’re also not going to spend too much time on decent lefthanded hitters vs. righthanded pitchers. However, we will point out RHPs who have noticeable platoon splits, both good and bad.
Used in conjunction with the DFS Playbook and Optimal DFS Lineups from our partners at Fantasy Alarm, our DFS Notes should be able to help you put together some cash-winning lineups!
