FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 7/9/15

I have a lack of entertainment in my intro today. Maybe I'll make up for it tomorrow, we'll see. For all of you that are still standing in the FanDuel free entry Survivor tournament (which hopefully is none of you since I'm giving away all of my thoughts), best of luck. Three more rounds until […]

Bryant, Rizzo, Frazier, Pederson Make Up NL For Home Run Derby

The National League representatives in the 2015 Home Run Derby will be Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Todd Frazier and Joc Pederson.

Justin Bour (1B, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Bour homered in four consecutive games last week, giving him 10 on the year. That tends to draw the attention of fantasy owners, but he’s still free in nine out of every 10 leagues. Michael Morse is nearly recovered from his back injury, but […]

Logan Forsythe (1B / 2B / 3B, TB) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Forsythe has been a pleasant surprise for the Rays and for fantasy owners this year, making solid contributions across the board. For the season, he’s slashing .281/.365/.425 with eight homers and seven stolen bases. In addition to his current positional eligibility at first and […]

Five Corner Infield Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds for Week 14

The last few weeks have seen some high attrition to fantasy rosters, as several stars have landed on the disabled list. Chief among those at the corner infield spots has been Miguel Cabrera, who will miss six weeks with a calf strain. Despite his questionable conditioning, Miggy had gone his entire career without needing a […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers and Advice for 7/8/15

What's up readers. As with every Wednesday we're looking at another full slate of baseball. There's four early games on Wednesday, July 8th, so double-check lineups before 1:10 if you plan to play in an all-day league. It's Clayton Kershaw ($12,500) day, and while some may be willing to pay up for the seemingly tasty matchup with […]

MLB DFS Lineup Picks & Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for 7/8/15

Plenty of baseball on tap for today. A few afternoon games and a monster slate of evening games means I'll probably be on the couch for a solid 12 hours. Below are my DraftKings picks for Wednesday, July 8th, 2015.  As always, remember to check your players to make sure they are in their MLB starting lineups before lineups […]

10 Bold Predictions for the 2015 Fantasy Baseball Season: Revisited

Back in March, I offered 10 bold predictions for the 2015 fantasy baseball season. Now that we've reached the midway point, it's time to look back and see just how terrible they were.   The Results 1. Joey Votto is a top-five first baseman. Votto was a monster in April, but has been merely very […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers and Advice for 7/7/15

There are seventeen games scheduled on Tuesday, July 7th thanks to a pair of doubleheaders. I'm going to concentrate just on tonight's slate for rostering's sake, though. Trying to predict lineups and where rain might actually put a game in danger is just too tough a task at noon. Editor's Note: If you play on FanDuel, […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Rankings for Fantasy (Week 14)

As promised, I am going to fill you all in on the recent news involving recovering starting pitchers, Dylan Bundy and Jameson Taillon. Bundy will be shut down indefinitely, which does not necessarily rule him out for a possible call-up this year, but it certainly pushes the time table back. Jameson Taillon on the other […]

Justin Bour (1B, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Bour is on a home run binge right now, and can be added off the waiver wire for teams looking to take a flier on some power.

Mitch Moreland (1B / DH, TEX) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Is it too late for a 29-year-old, who was taken in the 17th round, to finally break out? Mitch Moreland would say this was all apart of the plan and everyone should take notice. Moreland's career .258 BA and .319 OBP does […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers and Advice for 7/4/15

Below are my FanDuel lineup picks for Saturday, July 4th. My goal with these DFS picks, as always, is to try to choose players who will outperform their expectations. These players can be high-cost players, or they can be sleepers, but we are always looking for players that have a chance to return the greatest value […]

Adam Lind (MIL, 1B) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Lind is about as consistent a bat as you can find available on the wire. First base is usually a pretty deep position so it's easy to overlook Lind. His Achilles heel is that he struggles against southpaws, but then again most […]

Minor Leagues Spotlight: Top MLB Prospects for Fantasy from Week 12

Unsurprisingly, Joey Gallo was sent back down to Triple-A when Josh Hamilton was activated from the DL. Gallo performed as expected at the majors: flashed tremendous power and demonstrated that he isn’t ready to face Major League pitching on a regular basis. Gallo hit five home runs in 25 games, but he hit .218 and […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 7/3/15

I’m writing this draft prior to Scherzer pitching on Thursday, so if I’m burying the lead by saying that all of Thursday’s starters who returned from the DL (Jose Fernandez, Matt Cain, and Matt Moore) pitched pretty well overall. There are not meltdowns to reports. And yes, Fernandez might actually hit in the three spot […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers and Advice for 7/2/15

Happy #JoseDay everyone! Jose Fernandez long-awaited debut will be Thursday, and although I think it’s a little over-the-top to make a player’s start a national holiday, it does have a better ring than Harvey Day. The Marlins’ front office is just as excited as the fans are about this money-making return of what should be […]

Fantasy Baseball Week 13 Stock Watch: Exit Velocity Standouts

Advanced statistics should come with a warning label: Do not ingest without full, proper context. Analyzing player performance is complex to say the least. Spend five minutes on Twitter and you will find a pair of fantasy writers (everybody’s doing it, apparently) who disagree. At a basic level, a singular statistic, like exit velocity on […]

Week 13 Buy and Sell Hitters for Fantasy Baseball

Week 13 is upon us and the true contenders are starting to emerge. Cellar dwelling teams in dynasty leagues are likely shipping off their stars and collecting draft picks while the top dogs are looking to fill holes in their lineup.

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 7/1/15: Stacking Philly(?)

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Rankings for Fantasy (Week 13)

Steven Matz was finally called up. It was a little bit earlier than I had expected, but he made his MLB debut last Sunday. He threw quite well, but really dazzled with the bat, going 3-3 and driving n four runs. Did I ever mention that he can hit? Probably not. Matz finished the day […]
