Freddie Freeman Knocks 14th Home Run Thursday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman recorded his 14th home run of 2021 on Thursday. Freeman went 2-for-5 with a single and homer. Through 219 at-bats, the veteran first baseman has a low .228 batting average, but he does have 14 home runs and 33 RBI. Fantasy managers look for Freeman's batting average to improve […]

Chris Martin Blows A Save Opportunity On Thursday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman hit a game-tying home run in the top of the ninth to force extra innings, as he finished the game 2-for-5 with one RBI and a run scored in a 4-3 loss to the Phillies. It's been a rough year at the plate for the reigning NL MVP, as […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Goes Hitless On Thursday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. went 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts in a 4-3 loss to the Phillies on Thursday. Acuna has been mired in a bit of a slump recently, as he is 0-for-7 over his last two games, and is slashing .208/.406/.375 with one home run, three steals, three RBI […]

The Bigger Picture - Sizing Up 60 Games

We did it. We got through 60 games of the Major League season and yet, it isn't nearly over. Of all the trials and tribulations the abbreviated 2020 season brought, one of the greatest difficulties is having to invoke the caveat of the shortened season when conducting statistical analysis. Although we could take the current […]

NL-Only and AL-Only Waiver Wire for Week 11

Welcome back to the NL-only and AL-only pickups column.

I'll also include a recommendation for what to do with each […]

Is Streaming Catchers a Smart Strategy?

The common adage is that you should be streaming at catcher, but sometimes I think we cling to that a little too tightly. We buy into the easy narratives of "Catchers can't hit" and "Don't waste high picks or FAAB on catchers" but I've always believed it was an oversimplification. Yes, the deeper your league […]

I Could've Been a Contender: Re-Evaluating Top Pitching Prospects

We get sucked in every year. Even if we try to talk ourselves out of it, we don't seem capable of following through. We see the GIFs of nasty strikeouts or read about dominance at the minor league level and we start fawning over the next big pitching prospect. We follow his progress as he […]

We return to our weekly ritual of reviewing my weekly Starting Pitcher Baller Ranks, where we take stock of my top 101 SPs moving forward. With more than two months of play in the books, I've changed the visible stats on my table to display numbers from May 1-June 6 for more relevant intel. So […]

A Tale of Two Months: Third Base

With over two months now in the books, and many players having played nearly as many games as they did in 2020, it's time to take stock on the truth behind various hot starts and slumps. However, we shouldn't do so just for our own edification, as there is good instruction to be had. Knowing […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/8/21): MLB DFS Lineups

Braves Hopeful Travis d’Arnaud Could Return In August

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud (thumb) still doesn't have a concrete return date, although team officials are hopeful he can make it back sometime in August. The veteran is currently sitting on the 60-day injured list after undergoing surgery to repair a damaged ligament in his left thumb, which occurred during a matchup against the […]

Huascar Ynoa Not Expected Back Until August

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Huascar Ynoa (hand) isn't expected back until late August. The 23-year-old was transferred to the 60-day injured list a week ago due to a fractured right hand, so this isn't a surprise, although the latest news provides a bit more clarity for fantasy managers. Ynoa has a 3.02 ERA and a […]
