Danny’s DFS Picks for RealTime’s Beat the Experts Challenge for June 8, 2018

Want to take on the Creativesports 2.0 staff, braino-y-braino, at  DFS?

Well, you can indeed at RealTime Sports, matching up against my Creativesports 2.0 mates and me, and get some bragging rights in the process.

Tune in here daily, as we pick up the Creativesports 2.0 gauntlet where you can play our daily 50/50 game ($5) or come right after us — for we will rotate experts — on Fridays in the free Beat the Experts contest. Beat us and you can win $2, and that might be easier than you think!

Another full Friday slate is upon us, with the Pirates and Cubs getting their contest out of the way early at Wrigley. There are no weather issues to worry about and no massive names facing off on the mound. Dodgers rookie Walker Buehler will take the hill in today’s nightcap — his matchup with the Brandon McCarthy and the Braves will be worth tuning in for. As for the DFS deals…

Scooter Gennett ($3900): One year ago — June 6, 2017, to be exact — the Reds second baseman went nuts with four home runs and 10 RBI in a single game against the Cardinals. What seemed like a freak afternoon was actually the precursor to the following line over 155 games since: 32 home runs, 111 RBI, 94 runs, four stolen bases and a .313/.359/.537 slash. Scooter’s time with the Reds might be winding down, but he’s worth the minimal investment here.

Marco Gonzalez ($3500): The Mariners lefty has been dominant through his last four turns, compiling a 0.35 ERA over 26 innings with three wins. He’s up against an unremarkable offense in Tampa’s spacious ballpark.
