It's so frustrating to have just the right matchup, the research points you in the right direction and then, poof, you lose. It's even more infuriating to see that same group of players go off the next day when you are off of them. The emptiness of the DraftKings lineup when guys like Josh Donaldson do absolutely nothing haunts like all the haunted houses in fiction rolled into one website.
So what do you do when your Dodgers stack flops when you needed it the most? When your research and everything tells you to go right back to it again the next day?
Well, you do it, you roster them again. But what about the agony it caused you? You hated those guys for what they did to you and there's no way you'll let them do that to you again. Don't focus on the results, honor your process. I would say Shake It Off, but that now has been tainted by the pop song gods so we'll just say that it will feel good when that stack or that player does come through like you thought they would.
Chris Davis and Mitch Moreland have long been guys I've rostered because their metrics are outstanding, especially against RHP and their fly ball rates are right in line with guys who could go deep at any time. And Tuesday night they did just that, trading a pair of HRs each in that Rangers/Orioles run fest. Good times, good times.
Research, roster, repeat...and don't let the recent results, one way or the other, fool you.
