Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 7
Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more. While most trades can have a significant impact on your fantasy team, it’s the deals where you acquire undervalued players and then see their production improve that can really tip the scales in […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/28/22): MLB DFS Lineups
Jeffrey Springs did his thing! The Rays couldn't get him a win, but he pitched six strong innings and gave up just two runs (both on solo home runs). I was heavily invested in his success in DFS and the prop market, so I was happy to see that, and I featured him in yesterday's […]

The game between the Cleveland Guardians and the Detroit Tigers on Friday has been postponed due to inclement weather and will be made up as the second game of a split doubleheader on July 4 at 6:30 pm, following the originally scheduled game at 1:10 pm.

Joey Votto Sitting Against A Lefty
Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto is getting the day off on Friday against the San Francisco Giants and left-handed starter Carlos Rodon. Votto has been pretty bad this year, but he's gone 6-for-22 (.273) with a 1.156 OPS, two home runs and six RBI in seven games since returning from the COVID injured list […]
Colin Moran Optioned To Minors
The Cincinnati Reds optioned infielder Colin Moran and right-hander Jared Solomon to Triple-A Louisville and selected the contract of right-hander Graham Ashcraft from Louisville in a corresponding move on Friday. Left-hander Ross Detwiler was also reinstated from the bereavement list. Detwiler had four home runs in a four-game stretch early this month, but he's mostly […]
Spencer Torkelson Not Starting Friday
Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Cleveland Guardians. Torkelson has swung a better bat of late, but he's still hitting just .179/.292/.309 with four home runs, 11 RBI and nine runs scored in his first 40 major league games in his rookie season.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/27/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups
After another high-scoring slate last night it seems like the bats around the league are finally warming up. But there were also a number of really solid pitching performances, too, so you needed some guys like Aaron Nola and Frankie Montas in your lineups last night to really do some damage in GPPs. Here we […]
Max Muncy Could Land On Injured List
Los Angeles Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts said the team is considering placing infielder Max Muncy (elbow) on the injured list. Roberts said Muncy's elbow "just hasn't been right," and he aggravated it on a couple defensive plays recently. The 31-year-old suffered a partially torn UCL down the stretch last year and underwent offseason surgery. Muncy's […]
Cavan Biggio Recalled From Minors
The Toronto Blue Jays recalled infielder Cavan Biggio from Triple-A on Thursday and optioned infielder Vinny Capra to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Biggio is starting at first base and is batting ninth in his return to Toronto's starting lineup on Thursday night against Los Angeles Angels right-hander Shohei Ohtani. Biggio missed a few weeks […]
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Dealing With Power Outage
Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had 48 home runs and finished second in the American League MVP voting last year. However, in May of this year, his .706 OPS would be the third-worst mark in his short career. Guerrero hit a homer on Tuesday, his first extra-base hit since May 5, a […]

Paul Goldschmidt Slashing .402/.462/.768 In May
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt has been fantastic at the plate throughout the month of May. He's currently slashing .402/.462/.768 across the month with six home runs, 12 doubles, 23 RBI and 14 runs. The 34-year-old was a bit sluggish out of the gate this year, posting a .728 OPS in April, but […]

Christian Walker Goes Hitless Tuesday Night
Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker has recorded only two hits in the last seven games. On the positive side, those two hits were both home runs. Despite his .195 batting average, his .746 OPS suggests that he’s still productive power-wise. There are only four players who have hit more home runs than him in […]
Alec Bohm Extends Hitting Streak To Four Games
Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm hit a double and scored two runs in Tuesday’s loss against Atlanta Braves. He has safely recorded a hit 20 times in 24 games in May. Although he doesn’t possess massive power, his solid batting average should keep him on fantasy rosters. Considering it’s only his third season in […]
Ji-Man Choi Goes Deep Tuesday
Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi collected a pair of hits Tuesday, including a two-run home run during the 4-0 win over the Miami Marlins. It was his first home run since April 13, but he is hitting .282 on the season and .333 over his last seven contests. The 31-year-old has three home […]
Daniel Vogelbach, Heath Hembree Placed On Injured List
The Pittsburgh Pirates placed first baseman Daniel Vogelbach (hamstring) and relief pitcher Heath Hembree (calf) on the injured list on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, outfielder […]

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (shoulder) is out of the lineup for the second straight game on Tuesday as the team takes on Pablo Lopez and the Miami Marlins. However, Rays manager Kevin Cash stated on Tuesday that Diaz will be available off the bench for the game and that he will likely be […]
Eduardo Escobar Drawing Plenty Of Walks Early
New York Mets third baseman Eduardo Escobar is hitting .209 with a .310 on-base percentage and a pair of home runs in 171 plate appearances this season. It's been an unideal start production-wise for Escobar in his first campaign with the Mets, but the veteran is at least drawing plenty of walks, helping boost his […]
Pete Alonso Has Three Hits, Slugs 11th Homer
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso continued on his offensive tear Monday night, going 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored in a 13-3 drubbing of the San Francisco Giants. Alonso's 11th homer came as part of a five-run third inning off starter Alex Cobb. With 40 RBI in just […]

Hitter Advanced Metrics Risers and Fallers - xBA for Week 7
Last week, we dove into xwOBA (expected weighted on-base average) to see who is really maximizing their time at the plate. It's time we look at xBA (expected batting average) but with a twist. Some players are experiencing better batted-ball fortunes than others and it's bound to turn around at some point. Rather than examining […]
Anthony Rizzo Comes Back Down To Earth In May
New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo has just one home run and a .587 OPS in May. This comes after a scorching-hot April that saw him lead baseball with nine home runs. The good news for Rizzo is that the Yankees seem to like him hitting in the third spot between righties Giancarlo Stanton […]
