FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/24/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Baseball season is winding down, but we're still here to help you churn out some cashing lineups. Though lineups and probable pitchers are a nightmare to follow at this stage, I will be targeting the Phillies-Rockies matchup at Coors Field tonight. While Coors isn't playing as the hitter's haven it has in the past, both […]

Mookie Betts Fills Stat Sheet

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts hit his 31st homer of the season in a 4-3 loss to the Indians Sunday. His homer, a solo shot off Adam Pluto in the fifth inning, tied his career high, set in 2016. He finished the night 4-for-6 with two runs and an RBI. Betts also added two […]

Champ or Chump: Gary Sanchez and Mookie Betts

We continue our 2019 fantasy baseball preview with two names who could not have had more different seasons in 2018. Gary Sanchez entered last draft season as the consensus top catcher on the board. Unfortunately for his owners, he's been struggling with the Mendoza line all season. Meanwhile, Mookie Betts has gone nuts for the […]

AL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 26

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Xander Bogaerts Day-To-Day

Updating a previous report, Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (shoulder) is day-to-day after leaving the game Sunday night as a precaution after injuring his shoulder while swinging. The Red Sox are being careful with the top seed in the American League locked up and just a week left in the regular season. Bogaerts has […]

Xander Bogaerts Injured Sunday Night

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (shoulder) left the game early on Sunday night after injuring his left shoulder on a swing. Bogaerts had a single and two walks in three plate appearances before departing the game. This could be concerning for a Boston team looking for another World Series ring this year. Expect Boston […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/23/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

There are 15 total games today, and I'm going to be utilizing players from the "All Day" slate. The MLB season is coming to an end, so we're seeing a lot of new faces, as teams get their young players valuable innings in the MLB. That generally adds a bit of potential value to most […]

Hector Velazquez Likely To Start Sunday

Boston Red Sox starter Hector Velazquez is likely to start on Sunday against the Indians. Velazquez has been pretty good this year with a 3.19 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 79 innings over 43 outings (seven starts). However, he hasn't been as effective as a starter (4.00 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, 6.7 K/9) as […]

Chris Sale Set To Go Five Innings Friday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale is scheduled to go five innings or 75 pitches against the Indians on Friday. Sale is slowly getting stretched out after coming off a left shoulder injury. Even with less than a full workload on Friday, Sale is a fine starting option against a team that doesn't really […]

Mookie Betts Drives In Five Runs On Thursday

Boston Red Sox star outfielder Mookie Betts was 4-for-5 with five RBI, three runs scored, and a three-run homer in Thursday's 11-6 win over the New York Yankees. It was a ridiculous performance from the American League MVP candidate. Betts now has 30 homers on the season, to go along with 77 RBI, 28 stolen […]

Ty Buttrey (RP, LAA) - Week 26 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's rare, but there are still times when a player emerges on the fantasy landscape and my response is, "Who?" Such is the case with Ty Buttrey. Originally a fourth-round pick of the Red Sox back in 2012, he washed out as a starter […]

Fantasy Baseball: #2EarlyMock, Rounds 1 - 10

As I mentioned last week, I'm one of more than 100 fantasy analysts participating in this year's #2EarlyMock. Before we get into the blow-by-blow, kudos to Justin Mason for putting the whole enterprise together. If you're curious as to how other analysts are approaching their drafts, another tip of the cap to Smada, who is […]

Week 26 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago by completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked […]

Eduardo Nunez Out This Weekend

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez (hamstring) will miss the entire weekend with a hamstring injury. It was initially believed that Nunez aggravated a knee injury, but it's his hamstring. Either way, he won't play at all this weekend and might not play much at all over the final week of the season in order […]

Rafael Devers is Back in the Lineup

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the New York Yankees. Devers sat out the last two games and has been slumping at the plate over the last two weeks. He'll bat sixth and play third base versus righty Masahiro Tanaka. DFS players can go […]

David Price Decimated By Yankees Yet Again

Boston Red Sox starter David Price was torched for six runs (four earned) on five hits in 5 1/3 innings of work on Wednesday. Price walked four while striking out two in a 10-1 loss to the New York Yankees. In four starts against the Bronx Bombers this season, Price has a 0-3 record with […]

Power Risers/Fallers for Week 25: Buy or Sell?

Welcome to Week 25 of the 2018 MLB season and a new week of our investigation into the steepest power trenders in baseball, whether those trends are positive or negative. We have somehow blown by into mid-September, which means the homestretch of 2018 is upon us. Most fantasy baseball leagues have already had their trade […]

Eduardo Nunez Injures Knee Wednesday

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez (knee) left the game in the ninth inning on Wednesday with pain in his right knee. The knee has bothered him over the last week, and he will not play on Thursday as a result. "He felt it a little bit when he was running to first," manager Alex […]

Rafael Devers is Sitting Out Again on Wednesday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. Devers has awful career numbers against Yankees starter Luis Severino. That is likely why he is out of the lineup, but he's also struggled heavily over the last two weeks. Eduardo Nunez will […]

Nathan Eovaldi Stellar In No-Decision

Boston Red Sox pitcher Nathan Eovaldi went six scoreless innings on Tuesday, only allowing two hits in a 3-2 loss to the New York Yankees. Eovaldi struck out five batters while walking two. It was his first start since September 3, as Eovaldi has been used out of the bullpen over the past few weeks. […]

Mookie Betts Likely To DH Wednesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder and MVP candidate Mookie Betts (side) was unavailable on Tuesday but is likely to serve as the designated hitter on Wednesday. It's great news for fantasy owners, as they'll get their first-round pick back with a likely championship ring on the line to close out the season. Betts is hitting an […]

Andrew Benintendi, Rafael Devers Sitting on Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (rest) and third baseman Rafael Devers (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. Both left-handed hitters will take a rest day versus the left-handed starter. Brandon Phillips will play third base and bat sixth, while Brock Holt will play left field […]

Mookie Betts is Out of the Lineup on Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts (side) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. He was forced to exit during Sunday's game due to left side soreness. It does not appear to be serious, so hopefully he'll return to the starting lineup soon. J.D. Martinez will bat third […]

Matt Barnes To Return Soon

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes (hip) said he has been throwing bullpen sessions at full speed and will return to game action soon. Barnes has been an integral part of the team's bullpen, posting a 3.39 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and fantastic 14.2 K/9 over 58 outings (58 1/3 innings). He's only useful in […]
