FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/12/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a solid 10 game Sunday slate. The "Main Slate" is essentially the "early slate," as there are no later games on the slate. Still, there are plenty of options to make lineups today. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for FanDuel on 8/12/18. The lineup […]

The Cut List (Week 20): Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 20 of the Cut List. This week I’m taking a look at Starlin Castro, Jon Lester, Jed Lowrie, and Eric Thames. I explain why each player should be dropped in most standard shallow leagues. Last week’s cut candidates (Cesar Hernandez, Matt Kemp, Asdrubal Cabrera, Tim Anderson) went a combined 16-for-66 with seven […]

Week 20 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

Rosters are ever-changing and player values continue to rise and fall, depending on the flavor of the moment. Consider making a couple of moves to keep your team competitive. If you're in jeopardy of missing the playoffs, take a risk to get a player that could make the difference. The corner infield spots generally offer […]

Miguel Sano Picks Up Two Hits Saturday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in his team's 4-3 win over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. It was Sano's fifth multi-hit game over his past 11 contests. The veteran slugger has looked much better at the plate since being recalled from the minors on July […]

David Wright To Begin Rehab Assignment Sunday

New York Mets third baseman David Wright (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A St. Lucie on Sunday and will play five innings at third base. He last appeared in a minor league game on Aug. 26 of 2017. It was even longer since he played in the bigs, last appearing in May of […]

Yairo Munoz Placed On DL

The St. Louis Cardinals placed infielder Yairo Munoz (wrist) on the 10-day disabled list on Saturday with a right wrist sprain and recalled infielder Patrick Wisdom from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move. Also, reliever Luke Gregerson (shoulder) was moved to the 60-day DL. Munoz had proved capable as a utility infielder and outfielder, with […]

Anthony Rendon Scratched from Saturday's Lineup

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup. He was hit on the hand by a pitch on Friday night, and that could be the cause of his absence. Rendon has really picked things up after an early-season bout with an injury. The 28-year-old has a .289 average to go […]

Ryan McMahon Drills Homer In Win

Colorado Rockies utility man Ryan McMahon was tasked with filling some big shoes on Friday night as he stepped in at third base after Nolan Arenado left the game with an injured shoulder. McMahon did right by Arenado though. Trailing 4-3 in the 7th inning, McMahon took one deep to lead the Rockies to a […]

Kris Bryant Has Begun Taking Dry Swings

Chicago Cubs superstar third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) has finally started to engage in some baseball activities as he attempts to recover from a bout with shoulder inflammation. It has been an incredibly slow process up to this point, but it is good to finally see some progress. Bryant mentioned that he is dead set […]

Ben Zobrist Resting on Saturday

Chicago Cubs veteran infielder Ben Zobrist is getting the day off on Saturday. Zobrist recently returned from a nagging hip injury, so it seems that the team is just trying to prevent re-injury. Javier Baez is getting the start at second base while David Bote is manning third. Bote is an interesting daily fantasy value […]

Rafael Devers Sitting Out First Game of Saturday's Doubleheader

Boston Red Sox sophomore third baseman Rafael Devers is on the bench for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles. Devers returned from the disabled list earlier in the week, so the Red Sox are trying to ease him back into regular playing time. Eduardo Nunez is starting at third base and […]

Evan Longoria Exits Early Friday

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria exited Friday’s contest early. Longoria got hit in the back, but it looks like he avoided a serious injury. Longoria is day-to-day. Alen Hanson could see time at the hot corner if Longoria sits on Saturday.

Hitter Streamers (Week 20) - Head-to-Head Leagues

Welcome back to my hitting streamers column for Week 20, taking a look at hitters to add or stream off the waiver wire for this week's scheduled games. To keep things simple, I pick from players who are 50% owned or less and who play at least seven games in the week.  If someone jumps […]

Welcome back for another week of advice for points league waiver wire moves. This segment will include waiver wire adds, drops, and streaming pitchers for the upcoming week.

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 20

If your league doesn't have a trade deadline before September (or at all), you still have plenty of time to wheel and deal for the playoff stretch. Most of us, however, are up against Father Time and his ceaseless battle to rob us of our most precious commodity. If you're in the market to make […]

Nolan Arenado To Be Re-Evaluated Saturday

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado (shoulder), who said he's been bothered by his right shoulder for weeks, will be re-evaluated on Saturday. He dealt with pain following a double play in the fourth inning and was removed as a precaution. It doesn't sound like a very serious injury, but the Rockies could play it […]

Johan Camargo Drives In Two Runs In Romp

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo continues to show the team why it was right to jettison Jose Bautista after he came back. He went 4-for-5 on Friday night and drove in two runs. Camargo also scored two runs, so it was a very bountiful day for anyone who started him. He's still a very […]

Nolan Arenado Injured Friday

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado (shoulder) was taken out for "precautionary" reasons on Friday after he "tweaked his shoulder" on a double play. Arenado was hitless in two plate appearances with a strikeout before leaving the game. It doesn't seem like a serious injury, so consider him day-to-day for now. He's hitting a healthy […]

Jose Bautista is Not Starting on Friday

New York Mets corner infielder/outfielder Jose Bautista (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Miami Marlins. Bautista has been awful over the last week, so it's not surprising to see him getting the day off. Todd Frazier will bat sixth and play third base, while Brandon Nimmo bats fifth and […]

Yangervis Solarte, Russell Martin Out on Friday

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Yangervis Solarte and catcher Russell Martin are out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. It appears both players are receiving rest days on Friday. Richard Urena will start at third base and bat eighth, while Luke Maile bats seventh and does the catching against lefty […]

Eduardo Nunez is Sitting Out on Friday

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Eduardo Nunez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Rafael Devers is at third base and batting sixth versus righty Dylan Bundy. Devers has solid career numbers off Bundy, so he could be an interesting DFS option.

Danny Valencia Designated For Assignment

The Baltimore Orioles designated third baseman Danny Valencia for assignment on Friday and recalled outfielder Cedric Mullins from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Valencia was hitting .263 with nine long balls and 28 RBI in 78 games for the O's. He can be useful against left-handers as a veteran presence off the bat. Mullins […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/10/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We've got a big 14-game slate on deck for this evening and it looks pretty interesting as there is just one five-digit priced pitcher and a handful of others from that "good/great but not elite" tier. The Nationals and Cubs are the matinee and the other 28 teams will be playing under the lights in […]

David Bote is Starting Again on Friday

Chicago Cubs infielder David Bote is back in the starting lineup for the third straight game versus the Washington Nationals on Friday. Bote will play third base and bat fifth against righty Jeremy Hellickson. Bote has been on fire this season, so he's always worth a look as a cheap option in DFS when he's […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/10/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We have a 14-game slate on Friday (WSH/CHC matchup starts at 2:20pm EST and is not included in the main slate on DraftKings). There are seven games with an over/under of at least nine total runs. The matchup between the Dodgers and Rockies, at Coors Field, leads the way with 10.5 total runs projected. As […]

Max Muncy Hits Pinch-Hit Homer Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy joined in the home run parade on Thursday against the Rockies, hitting a pinch-hit solo shot in the seventh inning off of Scott Oberg. The success was nice to see, as Muncy has struggled mightily in the second half of the season, hitting just .197 with nine RBI in […]
