FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (7/20/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Welcome RotoBallers! Forgive me as I'm in a bit of a salty mood. After crushing over the weekend, I had a very rough Monday night. First off, I was busy making dinner and was unaware that the Atlanta-San Diego game was canceled. Strike one. I also had zero Boston or Washington hitters in my lineup, […]

Welcome to Week 17 of the MLB season, RotoBallers! Week 16 was a short one with the All-Star Break and the postponed contest on Thursday night, but we just about broke even over the weekend, losing 0.8 units on the juice with some tough beats. Now we have a new start to a new week […]

Nick Ahmed Doubles During Sunday's Victory

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed finally got his bat going after a fairly rough first half at the plate. On Sunday, Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in the win over the Chicago Cubs. His two-hit performance moved his slash line to .212/.278/.311 with two homers, 17 RBI and five stolen bases. […]

Eduardo Escobar Slaps Homer On Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar continues to produce at the plate despite recently trade rumors. On Sunday, Escobar went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in the 6-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies. He is slashing .249/.299/.480 with 21 homers and 62 RBI this season. There is a good chance that Escobar gets moved […]

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen struck out seven batters over 5 1/3 innings while limiting the Cubs to one run on three hits and two walks in a 4-2 loss Saturday.

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

We have completed another week of MLB action, and we have made it through the All-Star break. With two and a half months left in the fantasy baseball season, attacking specific categories may be more important than ever. In recent weeks and the future, I will try to find some category stuffers that may not […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

Due to the All-Star break, there hasn't been much action since we reviewed the best middle infield waiver options last week - just two days' worth of games. As a result, I would still happily recommend everyone who was featured in this space at that time, though the Rays' handling of Vidal Brujan gives me […]

Josh Rojas (2B/SS/OF, ARI) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: Rojas has been a streaky hitter throughout the season for the D-Backs. He started the year as the primary leadoff man but got off to a brutal start, hitting just .146 with a .520 OPS over the first 17 games of the year. He […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates - Week 17

It was strange to not see any baseball highlights for a few days this week but thankfully it was a quiet injury week as a result. Following the All-Star break, a number of injured players will be beginning/finishing their rehab assignments in the hopes of returning to their respective teams. Please keep in mind that […]

Bell's Best Bets - MLB Betting Picks for 7/17/21 (Premium Content)

Welcome in RotoBallers, and welcome to the unofficial start of the 2nd half of the 2021 MLB season. The first half was certainly one to forget for me, but despite the poor results, I have definitely learned and grown a lot through the process and grind of betting MLB each and every day of the […]

Braves Acquire Stephen Vogt From Diamondbacks

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Stephen Vogt has been traded to the Braves in exchange for infielder Mason Berne. Vogt is hitting .212/.307/.386 with five homers over 151 plate appearances. He'll get some playing time against right-handed pitching, but isn't a huge upgrade for the Braves. Berne is a solid contact hitter without much pop and has […]

The NotBurts: First Half Hitter Awards

For all of the division and rancor in society, one foundation of our world stays intact from year to year, splendid in its grandeur, universal in its praise. The NotBurts. A celebration of first-half excellence in hitting, the NotBurts aren't, as one critic (liar) claimed, "just an award show made up by some lunatic". No, […]

Barrel Rate and Contact Rate, Who Can Do Both?

Hitting is, at the same time, completely simple and enormously complex. Hitting in the Major Leagues is arguably the most challenging thing to do in all of sports. I don't think I need to explain myself for saying that hitting is complex. I can't do it, probably neither can you. The reason I say it's […]

Luke Weaver Scheduled For Bullpen Session Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Luke Weaver (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Saturday. The 27-year-old will pitch for the first time since sustaining a right shoulder strain in mid-May. He owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and a 38:13 K: BB across 40 innings in 2021. Barring a setback, Weaver is on track […]

Zac Gallen Expected To Start Saturday Vs. The Cubs

Fantasy Baseball Rest Of Season Rankings: Mid-Year Updates

The All-Star break offers us fantasy baseball players a chance to breathe and reassess the battlefield before us. Pitching remains as volatile as ever thanks to midseason rule changes, the next generation is fighting uphill after missing minor-league development in 2020, and Shohei Ohtani has blossomed into a full-fledged superstar. Instead of my weekly top […]

Taking a Mulligan - Second-Half Rebound Candidates

We've reached the All-Star Break, which means the baseball season is just over halfway done. Let me repeat that: we still have three months to go! I think some of us are still operating in the mindset of the shortened 2020 season and are thinking that our fantasy seasons are over if we're not in […]

Improving Hitters to Watch in the Second Half

We have more than three months of baseball in the books. It has been a glorious spring and summer with the return of the 162 game schedule. While it was nice for MLB to sneak in 60 games and some expanded playoffs in 2020 after we feared a full season cancellation, it really just didn't […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/17/21): MLB DFS Lineups

This is one of the more straight forward Saturday MLB slates in a while. We only have three early games and two teams that had the audacity to start an hour earlier than everyone else. That leaves a ten-game main Saturday slate, which is the largest in some time. Hopefully we don't have all of […]

MLB Betting Picks for Friday 7/16 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Turns out last Friday wasn't our luck changing for more than a day as Saturday saw us hit by our old friend 'the near miss'. The Cubs and Cardinals missed the over by one run after the Cubs got shut out despite scoring ten runs twice in their previous four games. The Angels were also […]
