Okay, so, I wanted to do this daily fantasy sports thing for Major League Baseball. I’ve heard people talking about it, and it sounds like fun, right? So I decided to give it a shot.

First thing I did was check out some of those big-name sites. You know, DraftKings, FanDuel, that kind of stuff. I noticed they have these things called “stacks.” Basically, you pick a bunch of players from the same team, hoping they all have a good game and rack up points together.
DraftKings lets you stack up to five players from one team, plus a pitcher. FanDuel, on the other hand, limits it to four players. It’s a bit of a trade-off, more players, potentially more points, but also a bigger risk if that team has a bad night.
So, I started digging around, reading articles, watching videos, you name it. I found a bunch of tutorials on how to pick players, how to understand the odds, all that jazz. Some smart folks even figured out how to break down the salary stuff to see how much you should spend on each player type. It got pretty complicated, but I kept at it.
I started to see some patterns. Like, it’s not just about picking the best players, but figuring out which teams are likely to score a lot of runs in a game. I started looking at things like who’s pitching, who’s hitting well, and even the weather. I created a list to record.
- First I should check the weather.
- Then I pick the player I think who’s hitting well.
- The last thing I need to do is check the pitcher.
After all that research, I finally felt ready to try it out. I made my first lineup, stacked a few players, and entered a contest. And guess what? It was a blast!

I learned a ton, and I’m definitely going to keep playing. It’s like a puzzle, trying to figure out the best combination of players each day. Who knows, maybe I’ll even win some money someday. But even if I don’t, it’s still a fun way to follow baseball and test my skills. This thing is really a challenge, and I really like challenges, so I want to share all of these, and I will keep updating about how I played.
