How the projections are built
Every player projection blends six weighted inputs: Vegas implied team total, versus starting pitcher "vsSP" opposing pitcher strength (actual history and baseline platoon and K mismatch factoring for hitters; opposing-lineup wOBA for pitchers), park factor, weather (wind direction, temperature, and precipitation), environmental splits (home/away, night/day, and grass/turf), and recent form (last-14-day FPPG). See the methodology page for the full formula and DFS glossary for term definitions.
Frequently asked
Are Diamond DFS projections really free?
Yes. Today's top pitchers and top hitters are published every morning at no cost and no signup required. The full slate (every player, custom weight sliders, optimizer, and historical dates) requires a free trial.
How often are the free projections updated?
The free preview refreshes whenever the underlying slate changes — typically every morning after lineups lock and again after any late scratches or weather updates.
What inputs go into the projection?
Each projection blends Vegas implied team totals, opposing pitcher strength, ballpark factors, weather (wind, temperature, and precipitation), and recent batter form. See the methodology page for the full formula and weights.
Can I export the free projections to a CSV?
CSV export, the salary-cap optimizer, custom projection weights, and historical slates are part of the free trial. The public page is read-only and limited to today's top names.
Do you cover both DraftKings and FanDuel?
Yes, Diamond DFS is currently optimized for DraftKings classic and FanDuel Tournament MLB contests. Showdown, Single-game, and Tiers are on the roadmap.
