We've got an exciting Saturday on DraftKings with all 30 teams in play. There are eight different slates to choose from, and the featured slate begins at 7pm eastern. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 7/14/18. The lineup picks will range from some of […]

Joe Mauer Drives In Four Runs On Friday

Minnesota Twins first baseman Joe Mauer went 2-for-3 with a walk and a three-run homer in his team's 11-8 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday. With two runners on in the third inning, the veteran smoked a pitch from Tampa Bay starter Nathan Eovaldi over the fence in the for his third home […]

Week 16 Waiver Wire Watch List

The all-star break is almost here, which means we’re getting ever so close to the MLB trade deadline and, of course, the fantasy trade deadline. The waiver wire can play just as important a role, too. Whether you’re unable to strike a deal or need to backfill your roster after completing a two-for-one trade, it’s […]

Jake Bauers With A Big Game Friday Versus Minnesota

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Jake Bauers had his power game going Friday versus the Twins. He drilled a ball that was originally called a solo HR before getting reversed, though he would get driven in later in the inning. Bauers would get revenge in the next inning when he responded with a three-run homer. […]

Anthony Rizzo Has Big Game

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo snapped an 0-for-21 slump on Friday versus the Padres. Rizzo went 3-for-5 with a RBI that sent the game into extra-innings. Rizzo needed a big game in a big way and hitting in the No. 1 spot on Friday seemed to spark the first baseman. Rizzo has had a […]

Buster Posey Drives In Two Runs Versus Athletics

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI on Friday. Posey hasn’t shown much power this season, but can still hit the ball effectively and owns a .289 batting average. Posey will miss the All-Star as he hopes to rest his hip that has been bothering him all season. Posey […]

Jose Abreu Hits A Home Run Friday

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu put together a nice game on Friday. Abreu entered the game with a .181 batting average over his last 105 at-bats and went 2-for-5 with a home run on Friday. Abreu has been in a long slump, but given his track record, owners should remain patient.

Albert Pujols Shouldn't Be On DL For Long

Los Angeles Angels first baseman/designated hitter Albert Pujols (knee) received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his knee on Friday, according to manager Mike Scioscia. The manager isn't expecting Pujols to be out for long. With the All-Star break next week and the team playing in a National League park this weekend, now was the perfect […]

Eric Thames Leaves With Injury Friday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Eric Thames (hamstring) left the game early on Friday with right hamstring tightness. It doesn't sound like the injury is very serious, but with just two games before the All-Star break after Friday, the Brewers have no reason to rush him back. Don't be surprised if he sits out on Saturday […]

Josh Bell Reaches Base Four Times Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Josh Bell had a terrific night Friday against the Milwaukee Brewers. He went 4-for-4 with a triple and two RBI. He was a homer short of hitting for the cycle. Bell is carrying a .736 OPS with five homers and 44 RBI. Would like to see more power from the big […]

Albert Pujols Lands on 10-Day DL

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols (knee) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list. The Angels are calling the injury left knee inflammation. It's unclear who the Angels are calling up to take over Pujols spot on the active roster. The Angels have three games in a row without a DH before the […]

Sam Travis Starting at DH on Friday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Sam Travis is back on the big league roster due to outfielder Andrew Benintendi landing on the bereavement list. Travis figures to get in some playing time this weekend, but should be sent back down to Triple-A after that. Travis is serving as DH on Friday, and batting seventh against […]

Steve Pearce Not Playing on Friday

Boston Red Sox first baseman/outfielder Steve Pearce (shin) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Toronto Blue Jays. Pearce is reportedly still sore after taking a pitch off his left shin during Thursday's contest. Mitch Moreland will start at first base and bat fifth against lefty Ryan Borucki on Friday. Pearce […]

Anthony Rizzo Leading Off On Friday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo will be in the No. 1 spot of the order on Friday. Rizzo has been having a rough season and has just eight hits over his last 42 at-bats. Manager Joe Maddon has put Rizzo at the top of the order before in hopes of snapping him out of […]

Ryon Healy's Power Heads To Coors Field

Seattle Mariners slugger Ryon Healy and Co. will open up a series at Coors Field against the Rockies beginning Friday night. The streaky Healy is in the midst of a mini-slump right now and is hitting only .143 over his last 28 at-bats. The Rockies will send expected right-hander Antonio Senzatela to the mound Friday […]

Greg Bird Continues To Pile On The RBI On Thursday

New York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird has been a run-producing machine as of late, and his streak continued on Thursday against the Cleveland Indians. Squaring up against Indians ace Corey Kluber — who wasn't at his best on Thursday — Bird launched a huge double in his second at-bat that scored Giancarlo Stanton and […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (7/13/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

With the Cubs on the road and thus no Friday afternoon matinee, we've got a true 15-game Main slate this evening. The slate may lack truly elite pitching options, but we have some solid ones to work with and a whole handful of offenses worth stacking. Let's start with a look at Vegas, specifically, the […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/13/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We have all 30 teams to work with on Friday night as the first pitch begins at 7:05pm (EST) for your DraftKings contests. Four games have an over/under of at least nine earned runs, and we’re still waiting on the SEA/COL line. Expect to see a high total from that matchup at Coors Field. As […]

Week 16 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

Jesus Aguilar Homers In Loss

Milwaukee Brewers All-Star first baseman Jesus Aguilar went 1-for-4 Thursday against Jameson Taillon and the Pittsburgh Pirates. His one hit was a homer in the fourth inning. In the past seven games, Aguilar is batting .370 with five homers and 12 RBI. He has a 1.019 OPS with 68 RBI and a National League leading […]

Albert Pujols Blasts Two Homers, Ties Ken Griffey Jr.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman and designated hitter Albert Pujols hit two homers Thursday and tied Ken Griffey Jr. for sixth on the all-time home run list. They are tied with 630 homers. Pujols will need 30 more to catch the next player on the list, Willy Mays, who has 660 homers. Pujols has 16 […]

Jose Ramirez Goes Yard Again on Thursday

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez hit another home run on Thursday, finishing the game 2-for-3 with a walk. He drove in two runs and scored one. The home run was his 28th and his third in the last two games. He now has 67 RBI and a .296 batting average to go with a 1.014 […]

Steve Pearce Injured Thursday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Steve Pearce (shin) was hit by a pitch on his left shin and left the game early on Thursday. Pearce initially stayed in the game, so his injury doesn't appear to be very serious. Since coming over from the Blue Jays in a trade, Pearce has been fantastic, going 11-for-24 […]

Steve Pearce is a Solid Option on Thursday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Steve Pearce will bat cleanup and take over first base duties against left-hander J.A. Happ on Thursday. Mitch Moreland normally plays first base, but will sit this one out. Pearce is hitting .357/.424/.964 with five home runs and 12 RBI against Happ in his career. Pearce has a .991 OPS […]

Ryan Zimmerman Expected to Rejoin Nats After All-Star Break

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (oblique) is reportedly feeling good and will begin a rehab assignment on Monday. Manager Dave Martinez believes Zimmerman could be back with the Nats after the All-Star break. Zimmerman has been out since early May, so it would be a little surprising if he was ready that fast. Zimmerman […]

Brandon Nimmo Leading Off, Amed Rosario Sitting Thursday

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo returns to the lineup to lead off on Thursday against the Washington Nationals. He will play right field while Michael Conforto and Matthew den Dekker round out the rest of the outfield. Amed Rosario will sit in favor of veteran shortstop Jose Reyes. Kevin Plawecki will catch in favor […]

Tyler Wade Sitting, Neil Walker Back In Thursday

New York Yankees second baseman Tyler Wade will sit on Thursday against Corey Kluber and the Cleveland Indians. Neil Walker will man second base in his stead. Giancarlo Stanton returns to the designated hitter position while Aaron Judge, Brett Gardner, and Aaron Hicks round out the outfield. Austin Romine will be behind the plate and […]

Danny Valencia, Joey Rickard, Caleb Joseph Sitting Thursday

The Baltimore Orioles have reshuffled their lineup for their interleague matchup against the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. Catcher Caleb Joseph will sit in favor of Chance Sisco. Outfielders Joey Rickard and Danny Valencia will both sit. Jace Peterson will be at left field, while Mark Trumbo covers right field. Trey Mancini will be at first […]

Jorge Alfaro Back At Catcher On Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher Jorge Alfaro will be behind the plate on Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles. Backup catcher Andrew Knapp will sit. Outfielder Rhys Hoskins will serve as designated hitter in the interleague matchup, while Aaron Altherr, Odubel Herrera, and Nick Williams round out the outfield. The Phillies will face off against Kevin Gausman, who […]

Whit Merrifield's Hit Streak Ends

Kansas City Royals infielder Whit Merrifield went hitless on Wednesday, breaking up a 12-game hitting streak. Merrifield has been rumored to be included in some trade negotiations this July, but with years of control left on his contract, he's logically been very expensive and isn't expected to be moved. Merrifield hasn't shown the same level of […]
