Due to my move from Virginia Beach, VA to Milton, WV this weekend, my picks will not include the normal justification and narrative. However, these picks have been researched thoroughly and use the same tried-and-true strategies that I have used all season successfully. Also, these selections are based on foundations presented in my Windows 10 400 Fantasy Analysis.
