My tips, which work in real OOTP and in fantasy PT, also, are to follow Casey Stengels's advice.

1) don't have to slow RHitters back to back in your lineup. .

2) Do the run-and-hit, not the hit-and-run.

Bill James wrote Stengel was more aware of the double play than any other manager in history. He has a great article about this:

3) Read that article.

4) Use the "Casey Stengel" team strategy settings that are included in the game.

Stengel's Yankees had the beat pitching--allowed the fewest base runners and turned the most DPs several times in the 1950's. As he said, "You can look it up."

In a nutshell, the Stengel strategy is to only play the infield in when that run scoring would instantly lose the game for you. Otherwise turning two and cutting off a potential big rally is the way to go.

I try to turn more DPs than any other team. With the Stengel way, I almost always do.

If your team still hits into a lot of DPs, make the other teams hit into more.

BTW, in my recent promotion to Gold season in PT, I had top 3 pitching and still turned 35 or so more DPs the anyone else.
