Full Story »MLB Lineups Advice for Daily Fantasy Baseball (Fanduel) - July 29
Monday's nine-game MLB schedule isn't as jam-packed as some days, but there is still plenty of punch for fantasy baseball daily leaguers in a schedule that highlights divisional play. The Cardinals-Pirates and Red Sox-Rays are the headliners, but there's plenty of other intriguing matchups as well throughout the night. Since the game at Fenway starts […]

As the calendar gets ready to turn to August, the stretch run is coming into sight. Rotisserie fantasy owners must look at where they'll be able to pick up ground in their leagues and where they have room to give. The concept is simple but very often overlooked. Not all fantasy stats (HR, R, K, […]
Full Story »Fantasy Baseball BOLD! A Second-Half Predictions Thread (UPDATED)
UPDATED: July 29th Looks like Ryan Rufe hit the nail on the head with this one: "Albert Pujols will go under the knife in August and miss the remainder of the season"... And it seems like this is also coming to fruition: "A-Rod will do almost nothing of substance to help the Yankees."... Wow, I wonder what […]

Full Story »Eduardo Nunez (3B, SS, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: Entering the season, the 26-year-old was handed (not earned) the starting shortstop role, thanks to a Derek Jeter injury. Being given a prime opportunity to prove himself as a regular, Nunez failed to take advantage. In an April to be forgotten, he batted a putrid .203 with a 13/7 K/BB […]
Full Story »MLB Closers and Saves Update (Week 18)
Raged on Roids I want to start off by saying that what Ryan Braun did is wrong, especially the fact that he lied about using steroids, HGH or any PED. The point of all of this is that I am completely exhausted with the media's constant obsession with the the latest PED news. Do we […]
Full Story »FanDuel Four For Free - MLB Lineups Advice for Daily Fantasy Baseball - July 28, 2013
Oakland's Jarrod Parker has been on an absolute roll through June and July, but I do not recommend paying the price for him this afternoon. In two starts versus the Halos this season, the 24-year-old hurler has managed just 9 1/3 innings while struggling to the tune of a 4.82 ERA and 2.25 WHIP. A […]

I’m trying my best not to sing the chorus of Randy Travis’s “I Told You So”, but if you didn’t take my advice two weeks ago to dump Ryan Braun and get what you could out of him, well... I told you so. I know a guy who got Josh Hamilton for Braun the day […]

Full Story »Junior Lake (3B, OF, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: With a name sounding like a summer camp or amusement park, Lake has been flat-out raking since making his debut last week. The young third baseman has batted .484 while recording four multi-hit games in his first 7 major-league games. A slight regression is inevitable, but an impressive strikeout rate […]

Full Story »Rick Porcello (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Porcello's overall stat line is mediocre at best, but it's not indicative to how well he's pitched. In 15 of his 19 starts, he has allowed 4 earned runs or fewer. The other 4 starts were "blow-ups": 27 earned runs in 16 innings pitched. Excluding these disastrous outings, […]
