DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (6/30/16): MLB DFS Advice

This is the last slate before our long Fourth of July weekend. Not that you can't keep playing over the weekend, but an excess adult beverages usually results in less DFS success.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (6/23/16): MLB DFS Advice

I'll tell you what, most days I wake up wishing I was an MLB player. This morning, I'm just glad that I'm no Michael Taylor. Five strikeouts and the game-ending error on a ground ball under his glove in center field. Ouch. With a fairly split day today, we have two slates to potentially worry […]

Congratulations to Ichiro! Truly one of the best hitters of all time, and seemingly one of the most respectful and grateful players off all time as well.

Yesterday's Studs and Duds: Fantasy Baseball Recap from 6/13/16

Yesterday's Studs and Duds: Fantasy Baseball Recap from 6/12/16

We have plenty of games to choose from on Thursday, and we even have a semi-serviceable early slate with three games between noon and 3 p.m. eastern time. The best DFS pitchers of the day all come in the early slate, so the late slate will require some reliance on a non-ace at the pitcher […]

It was a rainy Sunday across many parts of the U.S.A., but that didn't stop teams from getting their games in.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (5/19/16): MLB DFS Advice

With just two early games and nine late, we'll spend our time looking at the main slate for Thursday's action.

Yesterday's Studs and Duds: Fantasy Baseball Recap from 5/16/16

Just eight games were played on Monday after the Royals and Red Sox were postponed in KC, but there were plenty of runs scored across the board. When plenty of runs are scored, that means we have some pitchers who didn't quite do their job. Here's a quick look at those who impressed on Monday, […]
