Had an amazing day of closing line value on Thursday:

A larger than usual 11 game Thursday only has four games starting after 2:30 ET. Every game may not be covered in depth with less focus on the daily fantasy angle than usual on a slim pickings slate. 

The latest starting game on Wednesday is 8 pm ET in Texas with six afternoon games if you count the rescheduled Cardinals and Reds, who will play two. We may have some interest in the second of those games, as it currently appears on the main DraftKings daily fantasy slate. There should be enough time in between to catch lineups. Nine overall on the main DraftKings slate and I’d assume the same on the FanDuel slate, which we won’t know until several hours from this writing at 7pm ET.

Ten games on the main daily fantasy slate on Tuesday with five evening games starting before the 7pm ET hour. Full disclosure, I tried to post a pair of plays on Action Network on Monday afternoon, but the site was not having it (Unable to Record message):

We start the week with eight games on Monday, one in the afternoon and six on the main daily fantasy slate, starting a half hour earlier with just one late, west coast affair. Lots of very close games, most slightly favoring road teams (at least the way they appear in spreadsheets) and just about every park should play towards their standard factors without much in the way of colder temperatures or wind. 

We’re blessed with an afternoon game at Wrigley on Friday and a large 12 game daily fantasy slate, which seems to be about as big as they get the last few years and that’s fine with me. Anything more feels like too much. We finish with an unprecedented six late west coast affairs.

An odd eight game Thursday slate includes half the action in the afternoon with just a single evening before winding down with three late west coast affairs. We’ll disregard the daily fantasy notes today.

An odd Wednesday schedule includes five very early afternoon games, then three more starting between 6:45 PM ET and 7 PM, three more at 7:40 PM and the remainder after 9:30 PM. The main daily fantasy slate is cutting between that second slate of games and starting at 7pm (at least DraftKings), which makes less sense than it normally does, but that will be our focus for daily fantasy notes today.

An eight game day after Easter Monday with six on the slate and none in the afternoon, but that pesky annual Boston morning game that nobody ever seems awake enough to play.

Fifteen games for Friday with an afternoon appetizer at Wrigley and 11 games on the main daily fantasy slate.

Ten games is one of the larger Thursday slates you’ll see and we even have a reasonable five game evening daily fantasy slate. I must forewarn you about the pitching available on it though.
