Week 24 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago by 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 […]

Scooter Gennett is Out on Thursday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the San Diego Padres. Gennett is getting a rest day after playing in six straight games. Dilson Herrera will play second base and bat seventh versus lefty Eric Lauer. Herrera can be avoided in DFS contests and fantasy […]

DJ LeMahieu Scores For Fifth Straight Game

Colorado Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu smacked a pair of hits on Wednesday and scored the team's first run of the game to help push the Rockies to the sweep of San Francisco. LeMahieu tripled in the first inning and scored on a Nolan Arenado sacrifice fly to get the team on the board, and […]

Brandon Phillips Smacks Go-Ahead Homer In Red Sox Debut

Boston Red Sox second baseman Brandon Phillips came through in the clutch in his Red Sox debut on Wednesday. With the Red Sox down 8-7 in the top of the ninth inning, Phillips belted a two-run shot which put his squad in the lead for good. Phillips also drew two walks in the game. The […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/6/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a VERY small four-game slate tonight, which starts early, at 6:40 pm est. That is due to the fact the NFL is kicking off tonight, so we have a very limited slate and the options are a bit thin today. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup […]

Power Risers/Fallers for Week 23: Buy or Sell?

Welcome to Week 23 of the 2018 MLB season and a new week of our investigation into the steepest power trenders in baseball, whether those trends are positive or negative. September has finally arrived, which means the homestretch of 2018 is upon us. Most fantasy baseball leagues have already had their trade deadlines come and […]

Ben Zobrist With Three Hits Versus Milwaukee Wednesday

Chicago Cubs second baseman Ben Zobrist was one of the few hitters for the Cubs who recorded multiple hits Wednesday versus the Brewers. He would collect three hits and be involved in three straight Chicago runs. He drove in the third Cubs run, then came around to score the fourth, followed by driving in the […]

Daniel Murphy Ambushes Another Ace Wednesday

Chicago Cubs infielder Daniel Murphy is making a habit of getting things started. Much like he did when the team needed him against Aaron Nola, Murphy would turn around a pitch for a homer to jumpstart his team when they were getting dominated by the other team's ace. It was his 10th HR overall this […]

Max Muncy Hits Home Run Wednesday, But Still Slumping

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Mets. Muncy crushed a fourth-inning Zack Wheeler fastball deep into the center-field seats for his 32nd HR of the season. While the HR total and the 62 RBI to go with it are good season numbers, […]

Jeff McNeil Posts Another Multi-Hit Game on Wednesday

New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs scored on Wednesday in a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. McNeil now has 11 multi-hit games in just 41 career games with the Mets. His season average sits at .321 and he certainly appears to be making a bid […]

Kolten Wong Likely To Need Offseason Surgery

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (knee) said he's likely to need offseason surgery to remove floating cartilage from his left knee. Wong just came off the disabled list on Wednesday with a hamstring injury, but he's unlikely to return to the lineup until Friday. In 110 games for the Red Birds, Wong is […]

Josh Harrison Remains Out on Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. This will be Harrison's fourth straight game that he has missed. It sounds like these hamstring issues are going to linger throughout the rest of the season. The Pirates will likely be cautious with Harrison […]

Jose Altuve Hitless In Last 15 At-Bats

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve will head into Wednesday night's action looking for his first hit since August 30. He currently is mired in a 3-for-28 slump at the plate and is slashing only .271/.333/.390 over his last 118 at-bats. Typically that type of slash-line would be fine for most players but there is […]

Kolten Wong To Come Off DL Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (hamstring) is set to be activated from the disabled list on Wednesday when he's eligible, although he might not play until Friday. He said he is "about 100 percent" healthy nine days after straining his left hamstring running to first base. Wong was hitting .362/.415/.500 in 19 games […]

Jose Ramirez Getting Wednesday Off

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. There doesn't seem to be any kind of injury to worry about here, it's just a routine day off for Ramirez. Yandy Diaz will step in to play third base and hit third while Ramirez gets […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/5/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We've got two matinee games and a nice looking 12-game Main slate beginning at 7:05 Eastern. The pitching options are no doubt a downgrade from yesterday's smorgasboard, but there's still a nice mix of cash and tournament options. I'm going to call out a few Vegas lines that are worth a look as of this […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/5/18): MLB DFS Lineups

There are a few early games today, but the majority of the games take place after 7 PM. Overall, there are 12 games for the main slate, which is what we will be attacking here. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 9/5/18. The lineup […]

Dawel Lugo Doubles, Drives In Two

Detroit Tigers second baseman Dawel Lugo hit his second double since his recent call-up against the White Sox on Tuesday and drove in two runs for good measure. Lugo now has nine hits in his first 24 at-bats with the big club after spending the bulk of the season at Triple-A Toledo. At that level, […]

Scooter Gennett's Two Homers Not Enough Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett went 2-for-4 with two solo homers in his team's 7-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. The 28-year-old hit homers in back-to-back innings, taking starter Joe Musgrove deep in the seventh and reliever Kyle Crick out of the yard in the eighth. The big night raises Gennett's slash […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Drives In Three Runs For Phillies

Starting at third base and batting fifth for the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday, Asdrubal Cabrera was instrumental in his club's 9-4 victory over the Miami Marlins, snapping a three-game losing streak. The 32-year-old first drove in two runners with a double and later drilled a home run, putting his club ahead by six runs. Cabrera […]

Dansby Swanson Day-To-Day After Hit By Pitch

Atlanta Braves infielder Dansby Swanson (head) is being listed as day-to-day after being hit in the back of the head by a pitch on Tuesday. It looks like Swanson passed the concussion protocol after being hit, which is a great sign. There's a chance he could be right back in the lineup on Wednesday. He's […]

Jeff McNeil is Sitting Out on Tuesday

New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. McNeil will get a breather with southpaw Rich Hill on the mound. Wilmer Flores will slide over to second base and bat third, while Jay Bruce covers first base and bats sixth. Flores has […]

Brian Dozier is Back in the Lineup on Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. Dozier was given a rest day on Monday, but is back in the lineup for this contest. Dozier will lead off and play second base versus lefty Jason Vargas on Tuesday. Dozier does not […]

Eduardo Nunez's Playing Time Won't Be Cut Back Much

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is expected to start at third base on Wednesday, but manager Alex Cora doesn't seem to have plans to cut back on infielder Eduardo Nunez's playing time very much. Devers just got back from the disabled list on Tuesday, but Nunez has been filling in nicely at third […]

Dustin Pedroia To Be Examined Friday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) is set to be examined in Boston on Friday. Manager Alex Cora said Pedroia has been sending him videos showing that the infielder is doing agility drills, fielding and hitting. It's highly unlikely that Pedroia plays again this year, especially with the Red Sox set with Ian […]

Angels Release Infielder Nolan Fontana

The Los Angeles Angels have released infielder Nolan Fontana, clearing a roster spot for catcher Joe Hudson. Fontana is a career .065 hitter in two partial seasons. His two career hits were both home runs. Fontana will likely catch on as AAA depth with someone else, but he is far away from fantasy relevance.

Devon Travis Will Lead Off on Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis will lead off and play second base versus righty Ryne Stanek on Tuesday. Travis sat out on Monday to get some rest, but is back and ready to go. It's been a fairly disappointing season for Travis at the plate, but leading off should hopefully help his fantasy […]

Josh Harrison is Out on Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. This will be the third straight game that Harrison has missed due to lingering hamstring issues. Adam Frazier will play second base and bat second versus lefty Cody Reed. Frazier is a decent DFS option […]
