With a record of 5-13, it's obviously been a bumpy year for the 24-year-old right-hander and he now has a 3.93 ERA in […]

The Cut List (Week 25) - Time to Let Go?

Only two weeks to go! Not much time in roto, but enough if things are close, or if you're entering crunch time in a head-to-head playoff. If you're facing those circumstances, you know it's no time to get casual. The players themselves don't have much time to turn things around either. Players do go through […]

Nick Mariano's Waiver Picks - Get 'Em While They're Hot (Premium Content)

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 24 - Buy or Sell?

A lot of this week's risers aren't actually too surprising. (We were going to talk about Jurickson Profar but the May 19 game resumption appears to have irreparably damaged the reliability of his two-week splits, which show him hitting .262 in some places and .298 in others. In short, though, you can ride his streak, […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/11/19): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Ivan Nova Picks Up A Victory

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Ivan Nova lasted 5 2/3 innings on Tuesday versus the Royals. Nova allowed six hits, three runs, zero walks and struck out six on the evening.
