MLB DFS Lineup Picks & Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for 9/3/15

There are only six games today which gives us limited options throughout the field. For the sake of assuming that the highest priced players are nearly automatic, I will go game by game and select one or two players from each team that is the perfect balance of potential and price. I will be using […]

Buy Low and Sell High Hitters for Fantasy Baseball (Week 22)

In the past 15 days, three players on the Toronto Blue Jays have clobbered 10 home runs each, amassing 89 RBI in the process. Jose Bautista, Josh Donaldson and Edwin Encarnacion have powered the Jays offense to record-setting lengths in the month of August and there are no signs of stopping. For the most part, Bautista […]

Jonathan Schoop (2B / 3B, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With 27 homers in 653 career at-bats (including 10 dingers in just 184 turns this season), Schoop’s power has always been readily apparent. His atrocious plate discipline, on the other hand, raised serious concerns about his ability to stick with the Orioles. He’s still […]

Yangervis Solarte (1B / 2B / 3B, SD) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After back to back months of sub-.600 OPS hitting in the first half, Solarte was essentially forgotten in all formats. Since the calendar turned to July, however, he’s been among the most productive hitters in baseball. The Padresinfielder is hitting .291/.346/.514 with eight homers […]

Brett Lawrie (2B / 3B, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I’ve stumped hard for Jung Ho Kang in this space lately, and he’d still be my preferred add in the under 50% crowd (he’s at the very edge with a 49% ownership rate). But in the interest of not sounding like a broken record, […]

Jedd Gyorko (2B, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ughhhhh, Jedd Gyorko. I have to address him here because he has regained control over the starting second base job and has actually been fairly useful of late. In his last 30 games, he’s hitting .298 with five homers and a very solid 19 […]

Eduardo Escobar (SS / 2B / 3B / OF, MIN) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Boy howdy is Escobar thriving atop the Twins lineup. In his last 15 games, he’s slugging an absurd .732 while hitting .341 over that span with seven RBIs, 13 runs scored, and four big flies. Another well-rounded player eligible at multiple positions (SS, 3B, […]

Ketel Marte (SS / 2B, SEA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ketel Marte has been a revelation for the Mariners in a mostly lost season, as he is hitting .307 in the 88 at-bats he’s had with the big club. He doesn’t have a homer yet, but that’s to be expected from a light-hitting middle […]

Andres Blanco (2B / 3B, PHI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Blanco has emerged as the semi-regular third baseman for the Phillies, but he’s eligible for second base on almost every platform. He’s been particularly hot of late, hitting .341 over his last 15 games. In that same time frame, he’s scored eight runs and […]

The Cubs and Dodgers highlight a full slate of games on Saturday, along with match-ups pitting the Rangers against the Orioles and the Giants against the Cardinals.

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 8/28/15

We certainly had some duds yesterday. The Blue Jays, Angels, Dodgers, and Pirates all disappointed in the runs category. However, our pitching was pretty good overall, so hopefully you had that one key batter that pushed you into cashing territory. It was the most exciting day of baseball, but if it was a successful one, […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 8/27/15

Well, I knew it was coming. As hot as I was last week and the week before, the cold streak has hit hard. I withdrew some money from my FanDuel account, and since then I have lost 25% of my remaining bankroll. Well, I guess that’s what this game is about. We have a little […]

Chris Owings (2B/SS, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper leagues. OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: When a player has duel infield eligibility, you take notice. When that player has been slugging well of late to add to their impressive base running like Chris Owings has, fantasy baseball managers in deep leagues should take very careful notice. In […]
