However, he'll be […]

FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks (9/11/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

It's a manageable little eight-gamer over on FanDuel tonight, and it's one with plenty of options at pitcher. Castillo, Buehler, Cease, Morton, and Garcia are all intriguing arms at the top, and the lack of confident dart-throws behind them means we'll likely have to spend up at pitcher. There are currently only two teams projecting […]

Trevor Story Launches 20th Homer

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story connected for his 20th homer during an 11-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. The two-time All-Star took Phillies relief pitcher Ramon Rosso deep for a solo blast during the seventh inning.

Javier Baez Drives In Two In Mets Win

New York Mets shortstop/second baseman Javier Baez went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI, and a run scored in the Mets 10-3 win over the Yankees on Friday.
