I'm not doing well consistently in daily fantasy, I barely cash if at all on a daily.Is there a tool on baseball monster I'm not using that could more frequent my success. Thanks.

Are you using Comparison Columns and viewing the L/R stats?  I use the following:

• Past 1 Game
• Past 3 Games
• Past 5 Games
• Past 3 Games (Min)
• Past 3 Games (Max)

For the L/R, I show Past 2 Years and check all on.

about the same for me but i drop the Past 3 and add Std Dev for 5 games 

Gives me last game, hot players as well as consistent players. 

Using that along with identifying good matchups is what I do.

So you guys use past games as momentum instead of the actual matchup? How would you compare the actual matchup? Thanks guys for your help.

I have had good success by calculating wOBA matchup rankings for all the hitters, then establishing a ranking cutoff to slice my available player pool.

So where BBM might project player A for 2.85 pts (with a wOBA matchup rank of 94th) and player B is projected for 2.73 pts (with a wOBA matchup rank of 18th).  I will concede the slight difference in projected points and go with the better wOBA matchup.

There are several things that go into building my player pool. 

wOBA for hitters as well as the SP they are facing
L/R Splits 

Projected run total for the team as well as batting order

Depending on what you are building it for would make a difference for me. 
If cash i look for consistency over past
If Large field GPP I look for Upside in the matchup.
