Today's Top MLB DFS Pitcher Pivots: Jose Berrios and More (May 31)
DraftKings gives you two pitcher slots, creating a perfect chance to make a bold move in a crowded player pool. Most players go for the safest, most popular pitchers, hoping their batters steal the show. Sure, it sounds smart, but it also makes it harder for your lineup to shine and crack the top 5 in a large-field GPP. That’s why we need some sneaky MLB DFS pivots. In this breakdown, we’re on the hunt for pitchers who can deliver a massive ROI and remain under the radar.

RBC Canadian Open First Round Leader Picks, Bets & More (2024)
This year’s RBC Canadian Open comes on the heels of a storybook finish. Last year it was native Nick Taylor’s insane 72-foot putt that clinched victory from Tommy Fleetwood, restoring balance with a Canadian victory. Whether another hometown success happens this year or not, that moment will be tough to duplicate or even exceed — especially with a lesser field ahead of two elevated events. The field is certainly weaker despite Rory McIlroy, who apparently loves this event.

Biggest DFS Bankroll Mistakes Players Make
Poor bankroll management is one of the biggest issues I see from DFS players. Bankroll management is especially tough in DFS because the range of outcomes is so large that it is hard for most users to understand how big the swings can be. Some of the contests are so big and so top heavy that you could win twice in one week and then not win again for years without anything changing in your process just by random variation.

One of the biggest questions: Raheem Mostert or De’Von Achane?
