A whopping 14 game daily fantasy slate to finish off the work week on Friday.

A nine game Thursday slate includes eight afternoon affairs. No daily fantasy notes today. At least all pitchers have been confirmed early. It may not be quality pitching, but most importantly, it's confirmed pitching. 

Four day games on Wednesday, three more before 7 pm ET, which leaves eight for the main daily fantasy slate. I believe we have confirmation for every pitcher on the slate fairly early, unless something changes. 

Twelve of the 15 games on Tuesday will be on the daily fantasy slate, but this will be condensed article because I won’t be around on Tuesday to complete it. I’ll provide some daily fantasy notes on my favorite pitchers, but we’ll otherwise only be covering games and pitchers of interest in depth.

A nine game board on Monday, only one starting before the 7pm ET hour with eight on the main daily fantasy slate. I thought a makeup post on Saturday for time missed during the week would be a positive, but it ended in disaster. I’m not superstitious in that way, but I think each of the few weekend posts I’ve made this year have gone poorly.

Fifteen games spread out throughout the day on Saturday, as is normal. We’ll be considering games and pitchers of interest along with the late five game daily fantasy slate in this rare Saturday post.

Only a single day game on Wednesday with 11 on the main daily fantasy slate. In fact, it’s exactly the same slate as Tuesday night minus the game in Seattle.

Twelve of the 15 games on Tuesday night appear on the main daily fantasy slate, as we’re likely to have similar slates on Wednesday and Friday. Even Thursday has an unprecedented 14 games overall, though most of them occur in the afternoon.

A light seven game start to the week does not include any afternoon affairs, but a pair before 7 PM ET and three West Coast, late night games, spanning four and a half hours between the earliest and latest starts. All seven are included in Monday’s daily fantasy slate.

The normal Friday 15 game board with an afternoon affair at Wrigley and two more before 7pm ET, off the main daily fantasy slate, making it 12 games. I’m not sure we’ve had a slate larger than 12 games this season.

A cozy little eight game Thursday MLB board includes three in the afternoon with five in the evening. DraftKings appears to only be including four, starting at 7:40 ET on their daily fantasy slate.

The Wednesday board is split nearly in half with eight in the afternoon and seven in the evening. DraftKings is only including the last six on the main daily fantasy slate. FanDuel to be determined.
