The Jock MKT Starter Kit: MLB Picks | Aug. 19
To begin, enter the MLB Daily Market when the Initial Public Offering (IPO) phase is underway. Leading up until the start of the first game, bid on players you are interested in acquiring on the open market. Is there a player who you consider a favorite to finish at the top of the rankings? Invest as much or as little as you want in their fantasy performance, with shares beginning at $1 and ranging all the way up to $25. See potential injury news that could open up an opportunity for another player to acquire fantasy points? Make speculative bids for shares of the backup, hoping for that news to break after the IPO phase is complete.
The next part of the game occurs during live trading. Unlike regular MLB DFS where your plays are locked in, you can buy and sell shares of players while the games are happening based on their production and where you could see them finishing amongst the field. Track as current points, projected points, and live price for each player is updated in real-time, allowing you to track the action and invest in an instant to account for news. Trading can be done all the way up until the final pitch of the night’s final game.
At the end of the games, each player share is paid out based on their final rankings of fantasy points amongst the field. If the shares you own are worth more than what you paid, you win money. For more information, check out the Jock MKT website.
Jock MKT MLB Picks Tonight
Luis Castillo — P – Cincinnati Reds
There is a huge risk attached to Castillo every time he takes the mound. However, he should excel in tonight’s matchup against the Marlins. The Marlins have the sixth-highest strikeout rate (25.2%) in MLB against right-handed pitching. In fact, eight of the last 12 starting pitchers to face Miami has notched six strikeouts or more. According to the Awesemo expert projections, Castillo has the highest projected ceiling for any pitcher or hitter tonight’s slate by a country mile.
Eduardo Escobar — IF – Milwaukee Brewers
Switch-hitting ability is always appealing when choosing hitters, one as hot as Escobar is. He has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games and has a .328/.359/.492 slash in the month of August. Tonight’s matchup against Jon Lester is a good one considering Lester has allowed 12 runs and 1.75 WHIP over his last 16 innings.
Rougned Odor — IF – New York Yankees
The Yankees will undoubtedly be the most popular stack on tonight’s slate. Twins starter John Gant does not have much experience starting, so this will be a tough spot for him before giving way to an ineffective bullpen. While everyone goes for the star-powered sluggers, Odor might actually fly under the radar in this spot. According to the Awesemo expert projections, Odor has one of the best value rankings on tonight’s slate.
