Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups: Outfield
This week's list is composed of one riser, one faller, one returning from the DL and one just making his big league debut.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (6/30/16): MLB DFS Advice

Dynasty Review: Deep Fantasy League Advice for Week 13
When preparing the Dynasty Review, I always begin by checking in on my picks from the previous week. The big prediction was the promotion of Brandon Nimmo. I can't take much credit for that one. There were already grumbles about Michael Conforto's impending demotion. I don't expect any rapid call ups from this week's crew. I […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (6/23/16): MLB DFS Advice
I'll tell you what, most days I wake up wishing I was an MLB player. This morning, I'm just glad that I'm no Michael Taylor. Five strikeouts and the game-ending error on a ground ball under his glove in center field. Ouch. With a fairly split day today, we have two slates to potentially worry […]
