FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/10/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice
Another day behind the wheel, more time for thoughts about how to shape up today’s FanDuel column.

J.D. Martinez Showing Signs Of Life In September
Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez has had an extremely disappointing year overall, slashing .227/.313/.404 with just four home runs and 18 RBI. He's extremely unlikely to return satisfying value from the high draft capital his fantasy owners spent on him. However, he has shown some promising signs in September so far. Through his first […]
Chris Mazza Starting Tuesday's Nightcap
Boston Red Sox pitcher Chris Mazza will start the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies.

He […]
Andrew Benintendi Out For Remainder Of 2020
Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (ribs) will miss the rest of the 2020 season, according to team manager Ron Roenicke.

Rafael Devers Showing Decreased Production Across The Board
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers had a breakout season in 2019, slashing .311/.361/.555 with 32 home runs, 115 RBI and 129 runs scored. This year, however, he has a slash line of .252/.310/.465 with seven home runs, 25 RBI and 23 runs through 39 games. His hard-hit rate reached 48.4% last year, but […]
