DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/11/21): MLB DFS Lineups

Happy Sunday, Rotoballers, and welcome to a fun afternoon slate. It's still early in the season and most teams are towards the back of their starting rotation so pitching options are limited and there are bats for days. The trick will be finding which ones fit best into our lineups, while also trying to keep […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/11/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

The main slate on FanDuel for our Sunday features a strong ten-game slate. We are back around to slimmer pickings for pitchers. Fortunately on FanDuel we only have to use one. The downside of that is that we'd better not miss on the pitcher. Once again, this is a more balanced slate with no Coors. […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates - Week 3

Early in the 2021 season, there is a noteworthy injury trend. I have noticed a lot of muscle/tendon sprains/strains to start the season. These injuries include oblique, groin, hamstring and back injuries. Not all of the injuries are alike for each player and should be treated and evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Do not lump […]

Which Pitchers With New Pitches Should We Care About? Part Three

Throughout all Spring Training, we hear about pitching adding new pitches, or making major changes to their pitch usage. We even get to see those new pitches in action and dream about their potential impact. I even covered some of those potential changes here and here. However, when the regular season starts, sometimes those changes […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 31: English Premier League

The first EPL weekend following a 3-week hiatus nearly hit big for us. A game one winner was followed by a game two winner. Unfortunately, game three broke our hearts. Needing under 2.5 goals, the game was looking good at 0-0 with just 30 minutes left. With 20 minutes left, the score was 1-0 which […]

Friday Focus: Everybody Hurts

Last week, we talked about the value of a fresh start. Hope spring trainings eternal, and the beginning of a new season always inspires at least some level of optimism for every baseball fan. Maybe your team isn't contending, but even the worst teams have a couple of players or prospects who might take a […]

Now we've already had some major injuries this spring. Closers Kirby Yates and Jose Leclerc are both out for the year with Tommy John surgery, another closer candidate in Nick Anderson will miss the first half of the season with an elbow injury, and outfielder Eloy Jimenez will be out for most of the year […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/9/21): MLB DFS Lineups

Happy Friday, RotoBallers! It's just over a week into the season, and I have to tell myself every day not to overreact in my season-long leagues to the early trends. That's part of the reason I love DFS. You can overreact a bit because you can play the hot hand and grab whoever you want each […]

Yermin Mercedes Crushes Second Home Run

Chicago White Sox catcher/designated Yermin Mercedes continues to hit the baseball and has become one of the nicer stories in baseball this season. Mercedes absolutely crushed a 481 foot solo home run off of Brad Keller in the bottom of the second inning. Mercedes has been unstoppable on the young season and finished the contest […]

Yoan Moncada Hits First Homer Of 2021

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's victory versus the Kansas City Royals. Moncada has had a slow start to the season with a .192 batting average and 12 strikeouts. The strikeouts have always been a weakness of Moncada, but he is plenty capable of helping […]

Lance Lynn Throws Shutout

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lynn was on his game versus the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. Lynn went the distance and allowed just five hits with zero runs and no walks. He also struck out 11 on the evening. Lynn was lights out and now has four complete games under his belt in […]

Leury Garcia Dealing With Leg Tightness

Chicago White Sox utility man Leury Garcia is dealing with leg tightness, but could be available off the bench on Thursday versus the Kansas City Royals. It comes at a bad time as Garcia was filling in for Tim Anderson (hamstring) at shortstop. The good news is that it doesn't seem too serious. Garcia may […]

Andrew Vaughn Won't Get Regular Playing Time

Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa addressed the media on Thursday and said that first baseman/outfielder Andrew Vaughn is not part of the "core" of everyday players. La Russa also said that he has noticed the rookie pressing and wants to give him a break. It's a bit confusing that the White Sox would […]

White Sox Place Billy Hamilton On Injured List

Chicago White Sox outfielder Billy Hamilton (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a strained left hamstring. In a corresponding move, the team purchased the contract of outfielder Nick Williams. A leg injury for a player that is mostly relevant because of his speed is never a good thing, but hopefully […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/8/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

I hit big with my McMahon call the other day. But that's just one of many calls I've nailed lately as part of a not too shabby start. Let's see if I can keep it going with my Thursday FanDuel lineup picks. Unlike my previous two previews, there is far less pitching talent on the […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/8/21): MLB DFS Lineups

We have an interesting 7-game slate on tap today. A few "stud" pitchers to pay for in Berrios, Burnes, and even Lance Lynn. Other than that, the pitching is very suspect, and some decisions will need to be made. When it comes to bats, DK did a decent job with pricing. There are not many […]

Wednesday was the most confident I’ve been in picks so far in this early part of the season and we finished 1-1. The Reds made quick work of the Pirates and won easily. The White Sox, despite a great matchup, didn’t take as much of an advantage, registering eight walks and just one hit on […]
