DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (5/25/22): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Wednesday, RotoBallers! The Conference Finals are here, and we have a one-game showdown slate tonight. The Celtics will head to Vice City to take on the Miami Heat. This series has been strange due to the players on both teams being in and out throughout the first four games, as well as seven guys […]

Gary Sanchez Strikes Out Twice In Tuesday's Win

Minnesota Twins catcher Gary Sanchez has been somewhat of a disappointment for fantasy managers who betted on the power potential on the draft day. Despite his unattractive .221/.286/.442 slash line, he has the most RBI among catchers in the league. He will continue to hit in the middle of the Twins lineup, at least for […]

Yasmani Grandal Sluggish Through First 38 Games

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal has had a poor start to the 2022 season, posting a .176/.273/.237 line across 38 games. In 131 at-bats, the two-time All-Star has just four extra-base hits (two doubles and two homers), five runs scored, and nine RBI. Advanced metrics suggest positive regression is on the horizon for the […]

Robert Williams III Back On The Injury Report

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) has been classified as questionable ahead of Wednesday's playoff meeting with Miami. Although the big man's ailing left knee is "feeling good," he also indicated that he'd be taking things "day by day."

The minor league season rages on. Now that fantasy baseball teams have been drafted and the season is underway, it's imperative to monitor the top fantasy baseball prospects who have turned heads thus far.

Filip Chytil Set To Remain On Top Line

New York Rangers forward Filip Chytil is set to remain on the top line for Game 4 against Carolina. He replaced Frank Vatrano on the line in Sunday's Game 3 and the shakeup helped Rangers to bounce back from two defeats with a 3-1 win. The 22-year-old has had an underwhelming season with 22 regular-season […]

Willson Contreras On The Bench Again

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup again on Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds.

Logan O'Hoppe Mashing Homers In Minors

Philadelphia Phillies catching prospect Logan O'Hoppe has made an impressive rise from 23rd-round pick in 2018 to No. 5 Phillies prospect on MLB Pipeline's latest list. The backstop, who initially signed an over-slot deal to lure him away from college, made noticeable strides during the 2020 season when COVID-19 allowed him to train at Philadelphia's […]

Hitter Advanced Metrics Risers and Fallers - xBA for Week 7

Last week, we dove into xwOBA (expected weighted on-base average) to see who is really maximizing their time at the plate. It's time we look at xBA (expected batting average) but with a twist. Some players are experiencing better batted-ball fortunes than others and it's bound to turn around at some point. Rather than examining […]
