DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/29/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

With more teams vying for the expanded playoff spots, call-ups seem to […]

2020 Starting Pitcher K% Increases

We're somehow halfway through the 2020 season and judgments need to be passed. Every statistic has a point where it is said to begin to stabilize and become more useful than it is not. For pitcher's strikeout-rates, that point is after they've face 70 batters. Note that it's "begin to stabilize", not "stabilize".  These statistics […]

The Baller Ranks: Top 200 Hitters Weekly Rankings (Week 6)

The Baller Ranks have a new player at number two, and his name is not Tatis, Yellich, or Acuna.

Starling Marte Having A Stellar 2020 Season

Statcast Starting Pitcher Leaderboard - CSW%

More starting pitchers bite the dust each week and fantasy baseball managers are forced to turn to the waiver wire for streamers more than ever. The other approach is to stock up on relievers and rely on a couple of high-end starters, assuming you have any left. Either way, it's crucial to find pitchers who […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/26/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

Tuesday night was a doozy. Gerrit Cole and the beautiful-looking Yankees stack wiped out a ton of lineups as the NYY/ATL game got postponed shortly after lock.

MLB Betting Picks (8/26/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

We had the expected fireworks in the Boston/Toronto game. Meanwhile Cincinnati got out to an early lead, but they blew it just as quickly and couldn't score again. Luis Castillo pitched pretty well, but he couldn't get the run support needed, so he drops to 0-4. One of those days where it was essentially one-pitch-away […]
