This has been a frustrating week from a fantasy perspective. The wildfires in Canada have destroyed the air quality across the east coast, leading to multiple postponements. We’re praying that’s the end of it because it’s terrible for DFS and even worse for our health as humans! That does bring up an interesting point, though, because checking the weather is one of the most undervalued variables when playing MLB DFS. It’s the only major sport that really has cancellations from weather, and some of those decisions aren’t made until after we post our lineups. Just be sure to monitor the weather before every DFS slate!
