FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/24/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Greetings RotoBallers! We have a smaller eight-game slate tonight rather than the usual double-digit game slate. Personally, I prefer these smaller slates as if nothing else, it gives me less to sift through. If you are looking for a game stack, look no further than Baltimore at Toronto as both starting pitchers have an ERA […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/24/21): MLB DFS Lineups

We have an 8-game main slate on tap tonight, and there should be hitting for days. After Walker Buehler and a few other arms, the pitching landscape is very messy. However, playing with roster percentages closer to lock will help give the edge needed for a winning tournament lineup. Listen in to MLB DFS Quick […]

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (leg) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Kansas City Royals.

Luis Urias (2B/SS/3B, MIL) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: The multi-position eligibility, especially in leagues with shallow benches, is intoxicating, isn't it? The .238/.416/.756 triple slash line suggests that Urias may be getting a little unlucky with his average. Is also suggests that he is hitting for quite a bit […]

Jonathan India (2B/3B, CIN) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: India was a hot pickup the first week of the season since he started his major league career with at least one hit in six consecutive games. Then the jump from AA in 2019 straight to the majors in 2020 started to take […]

Niko Goodrum Not Close To Returning

Detroit Tigers infielder Niko Goodrum (finger) hasn't resumed baseball activities. Goodrum is currently on the 10-day injured list as he continues to try to work his way back from a sprained left index finger. While the 29-year-old hasn't done much in most areas, his 12 stolen bases throughout 59 games should keep him somewhat relevant […]

Alec Bohm Collects Four Hits In Loss To Nationals

Philadelphia Phillies' third baseman Alec Bohm went 4-for-5 with a double, an RBI, and three runs scored during Wednesday's 13-12 loss to the Nationals. He's starting to heat up and has now recorded multi-hit efforts in three of his last seven contests. The Phillies' top prospect has a ton of upside but is striking out […]

Eduardo Escobar Hits Third Homer In Last 15 Games

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar launched a pinch-hit home run for his only hit in a 3-2 loss to the Brewers on Wednesday evening.

Jonathan Villar Could Come Off The Bench Wednesday

New York Mets infielder Jonathan Villar's (calf) MRI exam came back clean, and he could come off the bench on Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves. Villar is out of the lineup for a second straight game with right calf soreness, but it looks like he dodged a trip to the 10-day injured list. Luis Guillorme […]

Christian Arroyo Still Out

Boston Red Sox infielder Christian Arroyo (shin) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Arroyo remains day-to-day with a bruised shin, although he could be available for Thursday's series finale or Friday's series opener against the New York Yankees. The 26-year-old sustained the injury on Sunday after chasing a […]

Ryan McMahon Absent From The Lineup On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners.

Eduardo Escobar Remains Out Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Eduardo Escobar (quad) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Gio Urshela Dealing With Sore Leg

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (leg) had to exit Tuesday's game after being hit by a pitch on his shin. Urshela was able to walk to first base but was limping while running and was ultimately pulled from the contest. It sounds like manager Aaron Boone could give Urshela a day off Wednesday, […]

Statcast Hitter Studs and Duds - Fastball Run Values (Week 13)
