Welcome to Opening Day!
What’s up, Mafia?! It’s finally here — Opening Day. The gates are open, the rosters are locked, and you can almost smell the pine tar and grilled onions through your screen. We made it through the winter and spring training, and now it’s go-time. Baseball is back, and so is our MLB DFS grind.
First slate of the season always feels like Christmas morning. You all know the vibes — new pricing, fresh lineups, and one chalk bomb we all eat anyway. It’s beautiful chaos.
What will you get from us all year? No fluff. No canned stats. Just smart, detailed analysis, real DFS strategy, and breakdowns that actually help you build winners. This is the Mafia — we’re not playing fantasy to survive; we’re playing to stack cash and win the whole damn thing.
Let’s kick this season off the right way. First one to roster the slate-breaker gets to brag all week — but let’s be real, we’re all eating today.
Welcome to MLB DFS 2025. Let’s cook…

2026 MLB Umpire Report – Sunday’s Strike Zone
If you have followed me in the past, you know I identify the best plays of the day for DFS, seasonal, and now strikeout props based on who is working home plate that day. The article will be a little different this year, as Swish Analytics no longer provides the stats I once used. Instead, I am focusing on home plate umpire tendencies, current strikeout props, and team strikeout rates against right-handed and left-handed pitching to identify the best opportunities available. We will highlight pitchers worth targeting in seasonal fantasy baseball formats, point out strong DFS plays, and identify strikeout props that may present value. If a game is not listed, there was no significant umpire edge worth targeting… You need a subscription to access this content.
