With just over 1 week to go in the regular season it is important to keep a close eye on starting lineups. Many playoff contenders are playing their regulars, but it's the non-contenders that you really have to watch. Luckily for us, DraftKings lets you switch out players up until each player's game time. However, with today's slate, I have my eyes focused on the first game of the day between the White Sox and Yankees in New York. The Yankees are 4 games back behind the Blue Jays in the A.L. East, so we know they'll have their regulars out there. The visitors are sending a rookie pitcher to the mound who was formerly their top pitching prospect last season. Of today's 15 games, he is the least expensive pitcher. Take a hint, DraftKings thinks he'll get destroyed, and so do I. Today's most confusing and interesting player is Greg Bird. Out of all the hitters on the Yankees, he's the most expensive at $4,400 and that is $300 more than the second most expensive Yankee, Alex Rodriguez. The three Yankees' outfielders are all under $4,000. Bird had hit a home run in three straight games last week, but hasn't done much since. So does that really warrant him being the most expensive Yankees' hitter? Certainly not. I don't think Bird is necessarily a bad play, but knowing that information, I may shy away. I will stack Yankees in an entry though, mostly consisting of the three other infielders, and an outfielder, not to mention their perfectly priced pitcher. I really like the matchup. Read on and check out some of my other DraftKings picks for today.
