Topic: scoring changes to draftkings baseball

1 Topic by crashthe24
for 2016 DK is going to 2 OF and a UTIL from 3 OF (kind of like a DH spot)
no more negative for caught stealing.
no more 6 player stacks - now 5.
no more (at least 3 teams) -now (across 2 games)
i think the scoring for pitchers "innings pitched" changed, but i'm not sure.
if you guys can see any other changes. post and discuss.

Rosters will consist of 10 players and must include players scheduled to play in at least 2 different MLB games.
Rosters must have no more than 5 hitters from any one MLB team.
The 10 roster positions are: P, P, C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, UTIL (UTIL includes all hitters)
POINT SCORING
Hitters will accumulate points as follows:
Single = +3 PTs
Double = +5 PTs
Triple = +8 PTs
Home Run = +10 PTs
Run Batted In = +2 PTs
Run = +2 PTs
Base on Balls = +2 PTs
Hit By Pitch = +2 PTs
Stolen Base = +5 PTs
Pitchers will accumulate points as follows:
Inning Pitched = +2.25 PTs
Strike Out = +2 PTs
Win = +4 PTs
Earned Run Allowed = -2 PTs
Hit Against = -0.6 PTs
Base on Balls Against = -0.6 PTs
Hit Batsman = -0.6 PTs
Complete Game = +2.5 PTs
Complete Game Shut Out = +2.5 PTs
No Hitter = +5 PTs
I think the biggest change is that of the roster makeup. While you can no longer stack 6 players from a single team, you can stack 5 and 3. Previously you had to have 6+1+1 so the two extra guys were solo, now you can have 2 correlated stacks of 5 and 3 players.

You will be happy to also hear, we are working on a full fledged player stacker and have worked out the back end details. We will be able to fully take advantage of these new rule changes.
it's amazing how much more confused people have gotten in 24 hours after reading the new rules.
it looks like you could stack everyone at coors and that's it.
no other games on the schedule needed.
of course both pitchers would get crushed, but you may get 18 runs from your hitters.

That's not a valid roster. Rosters will consist of 10 players and must include players scheduled to play in at least 2 different MLB games.
