Jesperi Kotkaniemi Goes Third Overall to Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens selected Jesperi Kotkaniemi with the third overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft. Montreal addresses their lack of depth up the middle by drafting Kotkaniemi, who was the highest rated center in the draft. Praised for his high hockey IQ and dangerous shot, Montreal is hoping he becomes the elite goal scorer […]

Now that summer is officially here, it’s the perfect time to take a hard look in the mirror. Are you a contender or a pretender? Are you close enough to be a buyer? Should you sell off assets and acquire young talent or draft picks in your dynasty league? It’s still a little early to […]

"Per the Pirates, Cervelli reported symptoms to the medical staff after last night's game," wrote Adam Berry of MLB.com. Jacob Stallings has been recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis. Elias Diaz will be the signal caller Friday against Arizona, and he is 2-for-3 against Patrick […]

Francisco Cervelli Out on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It sounds like a routine day off for Cervelli, so fantasy owners do not need to worry about an injury. Elias Diaz will be behind the plate and bat fifth on Friday. Cervelli should remain owned […]

Mike Zunino Slugging .489 In Road Games

Seattle Mariners catcher Mike Zunino and Co. will continue their road trip Friday night when they take on the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Zunino has 11 home runs this season, and eight of those have come away from Safeco Field. He is slugging .489 in road games this season and will look to build […]

Knicks Make Mitchell Robinson The 36th Selection

The New York Knicks selected Mitchell Robinson with the 36th overall pick Thursday night in the NBA Draft. Robinson is an unbelievable athlete. He is also a great rebounder and shot blocker. Robinson is also very raw, considering he missed last year with a school issue, and is also only 20 years old. The intriguing […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/22/18): MLB DFS Lineups

Max Stassi Has Cooled Off After Positive Start To Season

Houston Astros catcher Max Stassi has really struggled in the month of June, hitting .167 over his last 36 at-bats. He has shaken off an 0-for-16 slide to begin the month to pop a couple home runs over the last week. Up until that slump, Stassi has been a pleasant surprise this season and has […]

Cubs Will Rest Willson Contreras Friday

The Chicago Cubs will rest catcher Willson Contreras on Friday. Contreras has been in a big slump and has just seven hits over his last 38 at-bats. Chris Gimenez will bat eighth and play catcher on Friday. Contreras should return to the lineup on Saturday.

Nationals Not Willing To Pay High Price For J.T. Realmuto

The Washington Nationals will not trade for Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto, at least not with what the Marlins are asking for in return. Mike Rizzo, the president of the Nationals, told MLB Network Radio this morning, "We know what the return has to be on Realmuto and we are not willing to meet that […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/22/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We've got an interesting 14 game slate on our hands. The pitching options are intriguing, but they're all fairly mid-tier guys with no true aces in good spots tonight. That should make the playing field a little more even and those who are playing tournaments can hopefully spend less time worrying about ownership and more […]

Week 13 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

In preparation for today's freeroll on DraftDaily, below you can find my recommended lineup picks. If you've never played on DraftDaily before, it is fairly similar to the other sites, but you tend to lose more points. Points are taken away for strikeouts and home runs allowed, but you also earn points for sacrifice flies. […]

Boston Selects Robert Williams 27th Overall

The Boston Celtics have selected Texas A&M forward/center Robert Williams 27th overall in the 2018 NBA Draft. Williams has been compared to Clint Capela due to his freak athleticism and his ability to finish above and around the rim. Williams posted solid averages of 10.4 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game his final […]

Lakers Choose Moritz Wagner With 25th Pick

The Los Angeles Lakers picked Michigan center Moritz Wagner with the 25th pick in the NBA Draft. Wagner can work as a stretch five for the Lakers who is capable of rebounding the ball -- he averaged 7.1 rebounds per game last season for the Wolverines -- but there are concerns about him on the […]

Orlando Selects Mohamed Bamba With Sixth Pick

The Orlando Magic have selected Texas center Mohamed Bamba with the No. 6 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. Bamba, who set a record for the largest wingspan ever recorded at the NBA Combine, averaged 12.9 points and 10.5 rebounds in his one season as a Longhorn while also blocking 3.7 shots per game. Bamba […]

Bulls Select Wendell Carter Jr. With Seventh Pick

The Chicago Bull have selected Duke center Wendell Carter Jr. with the seventh pick in the NBA Draft. Carter played one season for the Blue Devils, where he averaged 13.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game. Carter made 41.3 percent of his three-point attempts in college on 1.2 attempts per game. Like with […]

Grizzlies Take Jaren Jackson Jr. Fourth Overall

Jaren Jackson, Jr. was drafted fourth by the Memphis Grizzlies. Jackson has been labeled the most complete big man in the draft. Jackson is more skilled on offense than Mo Bamba and is a better defender than Marvin Bagley III and DeAndre Ayton. He is one of only 10 players since 1992 to post a […]

Phoenix Selects DeAndre Ayton With First Pick In The NBA Draft

The Phoenix Suns have selected Arizona center DeAndre Ayton with the first overall pick in the NBA Draft. Ayton averaged 20.1 points and 11.6 rebounds per game during one season with the Wildcats and shot 34.3 percent from deep. There are questions about his defensive abilities, but Ayton should immediately slide into the starting center […]

Matt Wieters Does Some Running Thursday

Washington Nationals catcher Matt Wieters (hamstring) did some running on the field Thursday, but there remains no timetable for his return, according to manager Dave Martinez. Wieters was slashing only .231/.342/.385 with three home runs and seven RBI in 65 at-bats before his injury in early May, and he's likely to be a platoon guy […]

Scott Schebler Placed On Bereavement List

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Scott Schebler was placed on the bereavement list on Thursday following the passing of a family member. It was one of a flurry of roster moves the Reds made on the day. Along with Schebler, the Reds recalled outfielder Phillip Ervin from Triple-A Louisville, optioned left-handed pitcher Wandy Peralta down to Triple-A, […]
