Hopefully, you all were on the Discord last night to catch all of our discussions that lead to a very nice night of cashing! Let’s run it back today. The July 30th edition of Aces and Bases will take on the main MLB DFS slates on DraftKings and FanDuel.
The purpose of this article is to identify our top pitching plays and fades on the slate, in addition to our top offense stacks for your GPP lineups.
Please make sure you keep an eye on the weather and other factors as those are always important things to monitor when playing MLB DFS. Be sure to check out our MLB DFS Projections as well. Without further ado, it’s Aces and Bases time.
Bundy had a great first showing this season striking out 7 while giving up just 1 run over 6.2IP. This was Bundy’s Angels debut and he immediately looks more comfortable using his arsenal. Everything seemed to be working, including his slider that FINALLY had increased usage (33%!).
Bundy gets a great chance to follow up his good start with a go at the Mariners today, where strikeouts will be plentiful.
Honorable Mentions: Ross Stripling
Absolute domination on opening day. 14Ks an no earned runs. Bieber had it all going with 21 whiffs on the day and showcasing top tier fastball command. Great to see Bieber picked up where he left off last year and is match up proof until proven otherwise.
Honorable Mention: Dinelson Lamet
Ray had his normal nasty stuff in his first outing, but he did not exhibit this new found control we were hearing about. The new shortened arm circle did seem to be real, but it did not bring the command I was hoping it would (so far). Ray is going to have a tough opponent in the Dodgers today, if the stuff is there he could hang though, and could provide some good value with a low draft %
Honorable Mention: Brady Singer
Berrios has accrued some good name value while being a consistent arm with a good looking breaking ball. I don’t want to call him over rated, but I think his price is too high here. In Berrios’s opening day start against the White Sox he gave up 4 runs, while only strike out 1 and getting 1 measly swinging strike. Berrios needs to show us something before I believe in the $10k price tag.
Honorable Mention: J.A. Happ
There are a ton of different ways to build your offense on these big slates. Personally, I’m going to take a stand on a few offenses and call it a day. If you’re play MME style of GPPs, you can always get some exposure to more offenses, but for 3-Entry Max and Single Entry GPPs, I’m going to battle with a very limited player pool, as I really want to pick on a couple of starting pitchers and weaker bullpens.
We all know the importance of stacking when play MLB DFS GPPs, so here are my top stacks for the Thursday Main Slate.
Using the information above, you can even make some money on Monkey Knife Fight! As I said I like Shane Bieber in this spot and you can grab the over on his 5.5 strikeout prop!Check out how to play with our quick overview here.

Cowboy Chris Paddock gets a nice match up in San Francisco for a nice price here on DK, I do not like his price as much on Fan Duel though, as they have him the 3rd SP off the board. I can see Paddocks draft percentage getting higher as he looks like a great kicker to the high end guys.
Nevertheless, Paddock will be a good play throwing in a park where its easy to keep in the yard… especially when playing the giants.
Honorable Mentions: Andrew Heaney & Brandon Woodruff
I mean, obviously. Nose bleed prices for top end performance. Its easy to imagine that Cole will have double digit strikeouts against Baltimore.
The Red Sox however might be able to put up a tad bit of resistance, and if there ever was a time when DeGrom got beat, it was those three starts in April of last season, where he didn’t last more than 5 innings and had 3 or more Earned Runs in each start. Of course its not actually April, and I still believe the reigning Cy Young winner will roll. I may even set a couple Pocket Aces lineups today to see what the bats would have to look like.
Honorable Mention: Charlie Morton & Mike Soroka
My favorite part about Ace Day is the pure salary value provided. Musgrove had a pretty decent outing last week, 5.2IP/5h/3bb/3ER and 7Ks, and he is UNDER 6,000! Love this play tomorrow, great kicker to one of the top aces and can be paired with a value arm to load up on bats. The strikeout upside has always been there for Joe and its starting to come together. Musgrove’s second nod to hill will be to face a Brewers lineup that always seems to over perform.
Honorable Mention: Danny Duffy
Boyd looks like good value in the middle of the pack, and playing a sparse KC offense, but I am scared for Boyd and am staying away until I see that slider return home. Boyd hit two batters in the first inning and could not produce a single swinging strike until the 3rd inning! Nothing was working for Boyd and i’m very hesitant to roll him out today with all the other options available.

Javier Prellezo is a terrific guy who just happens to be one of the best multi-sport DFS players on the planet. I’ve lost track of how much he’s won in just the short time I’ve been Director of Content at Win Daily Sports. By my count, it’s just over 200K and that’s a LOT of GREEN American Dollars. Javier took time out of his busy day to chat with us about his DFS career and I hope you enjoy it.
PHIL: How did you get your DFS start?
JAVIER: I got my start in Daily Fantasy Sports roughly 3 years ago. I got contacted by a friend to give it a whirl and use his discount code so I gave it a try. I started really getting into it last year around this time, where I felt the first 2 years were preparing me to give it a go for bigger and better prize pools.
PHIL: Were you always this good and if not, what did you do to get where you are today?
JAVIER: So when my friend contacted me to give it a try, it was mainly a 3 person contest between us and another rival because he definitely wasn’t a buddy. In the 3 man contest, we’d do $5 per day and I ended up with y a losing record of 17 wins out of the 150+ total contests we played. It was safe to say I wasn’t that good. Since I’m super competitive in life, I told myself that couldn’t happen again. I began researching DFS strategies and sites. My goal was to learn how to beat them in the upcoming baseball season. In doing some small cash games and practicing, I learned the tricks of the trades. In turn, I kept researching and practicing then built my bankroll then started playing more and more. Once I built up even more bankroll, I started higher entry fee tournaments and my love for the game grew to an all time high.
PHIL: Which is your favorite DFS sport and why?
JAVIER: My favorite is the NFL. NFL is hands down the easiest because, in NFL, chalky players are actually good plays in most tournaments. As opposed to NBA, NHL, MLB, the chalk play isn’t necessarily good in both cash and GPP, but in NFL, it is! Also, I enjoy NFL game play because it’s less of a grind than the other sports since they are every day.
PHIL: How much time do you spend daily researching and building lineups?
JAVIER: I’d say I spend about 1-2 hours per day on researching and building lineups. On weekends, I spend even more time. I research, listen to radio shows, update my projections, and work consistently on my mutli-entry approach into large field tournaments.
PHIL: What advice, if any, do you have for newbies or folks who are struggling with winning at DFS?
JAVIER: My advice is to join us at Win Daily Sports and ask questions. Pick all the different pro’s brains and find out what works best for you. We have a private discord channel which grants access to all users to ask questions 24/7/365. I spend more time in discord talking to DFS Pros Jason Mezrahi, David Jones, our team, and our subscribers then I do with most of my friends and family. Once you have done your research, go with your gut and don’t second guess yourself. If you’re losing, change your process and change your contest selection.
PHIL: What are your future DFS plans?
JAVIER: Win a MILLION dollars in one contest. That’s the goal and that’s the plan! Eventually, retire after my second MILLION!! If you see the image below, I came really really really close last week when I finished 3rd. It was my best finish yet!
With results like these, I have no doubt that Javier will win a million and maybe even two. Good luck buddy and it’s a pleasure to have you in the Win Daily Sports family.
