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

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 […]
