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.

Checking in with Mother Nature, the slate looks pretty clean, but do not forget to check before roster lock.
The aces all pitched on Thursday afternoon, leaving scraps for Friday night. Take advantage of the cheap pitching to load up on bats at Coors.
Mike Clevinger ($5,400) appears to be the best of the inexpensive pitchers against a weak-hitting Royals team. Clevinger has dominated several Royals hitters in his career, holding Perez, Escobar, Gordon and Merrifield to a combined 10 for 58 with one home run and three RBI.
We will have to wait until the Cardinals post their lineup to lock our team in, but consider Yadier Molina ($4,000), Paul DeJong ($3,700), Harrison Bader ($2,600) and Yairo Munoz ($2,500) among the most affordable bats in Coors.
