Austin Riley Blasts Eighth Homer Against Mets

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley was 2-for-5 with a solo homer, a walk, and three runs scored during Friday's 15-2 win over the New York Mets. The 23-year-old continues to be an inconsistent fantasy asset, mixing stretches of productivity with dismal cold streaks. Riley is slashing .243/.299/.426 with eight homers, 24 RBI, and 42 […]

Eduardo Escobar Out Of Friday's Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Houston Astros. It has been a dismal 2020 campaign for Escobar, as he has slashed .194/.263/.320 across 175 at-bats. In his absence, Josh VanMeter will start at third base and bat second at Zack Greinke. VanMeter and his […]

Justin Turner Retreats To Bench Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Turner recently returned from the injured list, so the team does not want to overwork him before the postseason begins. In his absence, A.J. Pollock is serving as the designated hitter and batting sixth, while […]

Eugenio Suarez Back In Friday's Lineup

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez was activated off of the paternity list on Friday morning. He is starting at the hot corner and batting fourth against the Chicago White Sox. Suarez is carrying a lowly .206 average through 165 at-bats in 2020 but has redeemed himself with 13 homers and 30 RBI. He is […]

Rafael Devers Begins To Heat Up Down The Stretch In 2020

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers socked a three-run home run Thursday versus Miami, an exclamation point on his return to elite status. After a dreadfully slow start to 2020, Devers has mauled the ball in September with a gaudy .397/.453/.759 slash line. It was just a year ago that Devers’ 359 total bases […]

Alex Bregman Hitting .227 Since Return

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman is in the lineup Thursday and hitting cleanup against the Rangers. Bregman has struggled since coming off the injured list, hitting only .227 with a slugging percentage of .318. The talented hitter has not homered since August 11 in a season that has been extremely disappointing to fantasy participants. […]

Matt Carpenter Not Among Starting Nine Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman/designated hitter Matt Carpenter is not in the club’s starting lineup for Thursday’s contest against the Pirates and left-hander Steven Brault. Tommy Edman will hold down the hot corner while Brad Miller draws the start at DH. Carpenter has struggled versus southpaws this season, batting just .167 with five total bases […]

Anthony Rendon Has Cooled Off At The Plate

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon will look to shake out of his September slump when the team hosts the Diamondbacks on Thursday. Rendon is slashing only .245/.373/.469 this month and is hitting .214 over his last 56 at-bats. He has not homered since September 6 and has only two extra-base hits over his […]

Padres-Mariners Series Shifted To San Diego This Weekend

The series scheduled for Friday-Sunday between the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners that was originally planned to take place at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, has been shifted to Petco Park in San Diego due to air-quality concerns. With wildfires raging in the Pacific Northwest, the Mariners already had multiple games against the Giants shifted […]

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Jean Segura went 4-for-4 with two runs scored and a solo home run in a loss to the Mets on Wednesday. Segura raises his season average to .268 to go along with six homers and two stolen bases. Segura had 20-plus stolen bases every season from 2013-2018 but has completely stopped […]

From to Farm to Roster: Potential Call-Ups for Week 9

We're almost to the end of the fantasy season, and there is only one FAAB period left to help get our teams over the finish line. With that in mind, there are far fewer impact players that have yet to be called up. I'll still discuss players on a team's Taxi Squad or Alternate Site […]

J.D. Davis Tees Off In Mets Win

New York Mets third baseman/outfielder J.D. Davis went 3-for-4, including hitting a two-run home run, in the Mets' 5-4 win against the Phillies on Wednesday. In addition to the home run, Davis doubled twice, drove in three runs, and also scored twice. Davis' home run was his first since September 3 and he is 6-for-13 […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/17/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

We head into Thursday night with a 6 game slate on tap. There are a couple of top-end arms and a few main bats to focus on. We have Coors in play as well which may lower the amount some of the other strong offenses are rostered. It should be another wild slate like we […]

The Baller Ranks: Top 200 Hitters Weekly Rankings (Week 9)

Last week I wrote that the schedule had begun to have an outsized impact on value. At this point, it's not impacting projected value even more than recent performance. There are exceptions to that, but that's the overarching rule this week. Paul Goldschmidt's value has been buoyed by this aspect for much of the season. […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/17/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

After back-to-back nights of the Yankees’ offense making a mockery of the main slate, we get to add their offensive gumption to the cauldron of a Coors Field (feat. the Dodgers’ thundering bats) and Shane Bieber-focused slate.  This slate is smaller than usual, which makes the thunder lurking inside of it even more important to […]

Eduardo Escobar Primed For Poor Game On Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar is unlikely to hit well against Dylan Bundy and the Angels on Wednesday as he tends to struggle against changeups (.599 OPS against this season) and sliders (.676 OPS against this season) -- Bundy’s two preferred secondary offerings. Escobar has struggled all season with a .606 OPS coming into […]

Alex Bregman Sees Power Numbers Dip In 2020

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman has tagged just four home runs in his first 30 games during the 2020 campaign. His 34.4% Hard Hit rate is a significant drop-off from his production over the last two years, while he has delivered a barrel rate of just 4.3%. Fortunately for Bregman, he’ll play his next […]
