How I Won With ASL's Free DFS Explorer

Fantasy Baseball Daily Value Plays, Sept 3

ASL

If you're playing MLB Daily Fantasy Baseball contests, you might find these top-value players helpful for building your lineup. ASL has calculated optimum lineups for DraftKings, FanDuel and Yahoo contests, based on three different projection sources -- numberFire, RotoGrinders, Fantasy Six Pack -- as well as a Blend projection lineup that uses all three sources together. These aren't necessarily the players that will score the most points, but they represent the most points in relation to salary as part of an ideal lineup.

Now available for NFL! ASL's The Machine for Daily Fantasy Sports  helps you build winning lineups.

Here is a pitcher and a top-value hitter from each projection source for each of the three DFS platforms:
