It's a shorter slate with only seven games due to the Reds vs. Tigers doubleheader, but let's take a deep dive to carve out the perfect lineup.

Cardinals And Tigers To Play Four Games In Detroit

The St. Louis Cardinals season is scheduled to continue on Tuesday in Detroit. The two teams were scheduled to play two games in St. Louis and two in Detroit, starting on Monday. Instead, due to COVID-19 concerns, the two teams will play four games in Detroit starting on Tuesday, including a double header on Wednesday. […]

Cardinals-Brewers Double Header Postponed

The scheduled double header set for Sunday between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Milwaukee Brewers has been postponed due to COVID-19 concerns. The two teams were going to play the double header to make up for Friday's game, which was postponed. Now, Saturday's game is also off the schedule, and Sunday's two games won't […]

Hanser Alberto (2B, 3B, BAL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: Hanser Alberto has garnered a reputation for being a "leftie-masher" in that he hits left-handed pitching so well. The numbers certainly back that up. In 2019, Alberto had a .398/.414/.534 slash line against lefties and already has a .625/.625/1.250 line against southpaws this […]

Kris Bryant A Last-Minute Scratch From Saturday’s Lineup

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant was removed from Saturday’s lineup against the Pirates at the eleventh hour due to an undisclosed reason. Bryant has scuffled out of the gates in 2020, going 3-for-25 with one double and 10 strikeouts through his first six games. Despite that, his exit velocity has been off the charts, […]

Yandy Diaz (1B, 3B, TB) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: It may seem odd to suggest adding a hitter who has started the season 2 for 21 at the plate but Yandy Diaz has been walked nine times (which leads the Majors) and struck out just five times in his seven games so far. […]

Josh Donaldson Not In Saturday's Lineup

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) is not in the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Cleveland Indians. Donaldson strained his calf last night and was pulled from the game for a pinch-hitter in the second inning. Manager Rocco Baldelli said after the game that he and the Twins training staff don't expect it […]

I'll be going through some of […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/1/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

It's Saturday, so brace yourselves for another stacked MLB slate with 12 games on the docket. It's a tough day for starting pitchers, with a shortage of bankable arms for you to trust in your lineup. We're going to focus on two teams to stack in favorable matchups to act as the core of your […]

Marlins Season Will Resume On Tuesday

The Miami Marlins 2020 season will resume on Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles. The Marlins and Orioles will play four games in three days, with a double header (two seven-inning games) played on one of the days. With 18 positives on the Marlins roster, it's anyone's guess what the team's roster will look like come […]

Early (Over/Under) Reactions for Fantasy Baseball

The first week of the shortened MLB season is officially over and we have several prominent fantasy storylines emerging. Some carry over from 2019 and others have come out of nowhere. My job here is to walk us through those which seem most notable. COVID-19 is one tough customer and has made not even hope […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates for Week 3

Injuries are commonplace in all sports. Baseball has seen the rate of injury continue to rise over the past few years. In fantasy, if someone is not in the medical field, it is hard to gauge how long a player will be out and whether they need to be replaced in a lineup. Sometimes this […]

The Cut List (Week 3) - Time to Let Go?

You already didn't have very many Marlins on your fantasy roster, right? It's still early enough that most of your cuts are going to be clearly marginal players who will miss several days due to postponed games. But what about those tougher calls? There's a bit more information out there than there was last week. […]

Jose Ramirez Swipes First Bag Of Season

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Twins. The good version of Ramirez has shown up to begin 2020. Through eight games, the 27-year-old is hitting .429 (12-for-28) with two homers, five RBI, seven runs and one steal, […]

J.D. Davis Smacks Second Homer Of Season

New York Mets infielder/outfielder J.D. Davis hit his second home run of the season on Friday in the Mets' brutal 11-10 loss to the Braves. Davis went 2-for-4 with a two run HR, drove in three and scored one run. After a slow start to the season, Davis is now batting .320 in 25 at-bats, […]

Champ or Chump: Isiah Kiner-Falefa

Roughly a week into the season, no fewer than 20 percent of MLB teams are shelved due to coronavirus concerns. In all probability, your roster has a ton of players who are too good to drop yet aren't playing in the immediate future. Most of the affected players haven't been placed on the IL yet […]

Josh Donaldson Day-To-Day With Right Calf Tightness

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) is considered day-to-day with right calf tightness. Ehire Adrianza substituted for Donaldson as a pinch-hitter in the second inning, which was odd because there was seemingly nothing wrong with the veteran third baseman. It doesn't sound too serious right now, though it should be noted that this isn't […]

Josh Donaldson Removed From Game In Second Inning

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson was removed from the game against the Cleveland Indians in the second inning. Ehire Adrianza pinch-hit for Donaldson against right-hander Mike Clevinger. It's curious, because nothing appeared to be wrong with the 34-year-old earlier in the game. Stay tuned for updates on the status of the veteran third baseman.

Cardinals-Brewers Game Postponed On Friday

Friday's scheduled game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Milwaukee Brewers has been postponed due to two Cardinals players testing positive for COVID-19. For now, it is expected to be made up as part of a double header on Sunday, but as we've seen with the Marlins, things can spread quickly. Based on the […]
