With just a small three-game night slate on DraftKings (4-game on FD), I’m going to lighten up on my play and focus only on GPPs. The approach I am taking is to focus on the Brewers, Cardinals and Pirates with my hitting stacks and also use the pitchers throwing against them. Wait, what?!?!

The premise of this “round robin” approach is to identify three pitchers you like and then stack against them with hitters from the three teams they are facing. When stacking the first team, you use the pitchers that are throwing against the other two teams you plan to stack in different lineups and then fill out your hitters with your favorite plays at the positions that remain. This is a new GPP strategy that I came up with. I have not used it before but I think it would be most effective on small slates like we have Thursday night. Give the three GPP core lineups a look and feel free to comment or hit me up on Twitter @RotoPilot with your feedback. This will be free article, enjoy!
