Marc’s Picks for the RealTime 50/50 Challenge, May 12, 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!

Checking in with Mother Nature, looks like a great day for baseball with exception of Philadelphia. As of now, the weather looks clear with a just a chance of rain in Philly.  We have a large Saturday night 9 game slate with some nice pitching options.  In 50/50 contests I generally like to roster at least one stud pitcher, but there are none on this night.  So the battle now comes down to trying to find the pitchers who best fit the bill.

Zach Eflin ($3800) is not normally a cash game option I would choose, but his price is just so low that he allows you to field another stud pitcher and a slew of stud hitters.  Eflin has pitched well in his two starts so far this season and the Mets are not exactly hitting on all cylinders on offense.

Nolan Arenado ($6,600) is an easy choice at third base.  Not only is he in a home game in Colorado, but he rakes Chase Anderson.  Arenado has four career home runs in 27 at bats against Anderson, and it is easy to see him making it five or six in this game.
