...will screw your evening in DFS if you're not in on it. I had almost no part in the New York Yankees 21-5 trouncing of the Texas Rangers. Probably first time I didn't play Chris Young vs. a lefty in months. These games are rare, but they are deadly. Especially when a team as popular as the Yankees are involved. I took it on the chin tonight, and gave back easily half my previous nights winnings. Too many people love Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira more than I do, even at their incredibly high prices. Bigger payouts for running out schmucks like Didi Gregorius or John Ryan Murphy. These kind of games shift the average score up significantly, and the high scores even more so. The tournament I was in on Draft Kings had the winner at 226 pts, on Fan Duel it was a silly 92.5 (cut this number in half and you could probably sweep H2H games most nights).
I've spoke of this sort of Landmine before, when the Orioles put up the same sort of silly number back in late April. I had forgotten about it. This occurrence is rare, and if you're not in on the action, you have no choice, but to taste the pain and curl into a fetal position. My advice is to turn off the TV or Computer and go to bed early for a change, content with the knowledge you'll have a little less money come tomorrow morning..
Can this sort of thing be predicted? The Vegas line set the highest over/unders on three games tonight at 9.5, and to there credit this was one of them. The other two were the Pirates/Twins (8-7) and the Blue Jays/Phillies (3-2). One cannot say Vegas was infallible this night.
This is simply something a player needs to be aware of. Consider this advice the equivalent of a "Watch for Falling Rocks" sign. If a rock is going to fall on your car while your traveling at 70 MPH along the Tennessee highway, pretty much your going to take the hit. The important thing is how fast you recuperate.
