Todd likes his team in the latest fantasy draft. He is a little light on pitching having drafted no aces. He talks about Trevor May having good value at 10 dollars if he closes games, if not probably 5 dollars too high. Adam likes how he drafted Trevor Cahill and Cedric Mullens of the Orioles. Todd says Luis Severino is worth the risk because he feels the shoulder discomfort isnt a big enough deal to take him off the board. Adam wraps up with daily NBA DFS. Karl Anthony Towns is a play but probably too much money. Jeff Teague is a nice play as well.
