Ivan Nova Struggles Versus Mariners

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Ivan Nova got beat up by the Seattle Mariners offense on Sunday. Nova only lasted 2 1/3 innings and allowed seven hits, seven runs, one walk and struck out two. Nova should only be used as a streamer and will face a tough Yankees offense in his next start.

Week 2 Waiver Wire Watch List

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 2

Week 1 is almost in the books. We've seen some great pitching performances this week, while also watching a few guys still get the kinks worked out of their system. Now with a week of playing time that actually matters, we can get a better idea of what to expect from the two-start pitchers in […]

A new week starts and while hockey and pro basketball are taking a break, baseball season is going to keep chugging along, with a 10-game schedule. There are a couple of thoughts based on early-season results. One, don’t get too hyped about one or two good performances. This applies particularly to starting pitchers, especially those […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/7/19): MLB DFS Lineups

After a double-slate on Saturday, we have one large Sunday slate. These are some of my favorite slates because it pushes ownership around, and significantly lessens chalk.

Eloy Jimenez Gets Three Hits On Saturday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez picked up three hits in four at-bats versus the Seattle Mariners on Saturday. It was good to see, as Jimenez was struggling coming into the contest. All three hits were singles and Jimenez struck out in his other at-bat. Jimenez has yet to hit a home run, but it’s […]

Tim Anderson Picks Up Three More Hits

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson stayed hot on Saturday versus the Seattle Mariners by going 3-for-4 with a home run on Saturday to raise his batting average to .500. Anderson has always been a streaky hitter, but with his power and speed combination, Anderson is a nice option at shortstop in mixed leagues.

Lucas Giolito Struggles On Saturday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito couldn’t build off his strong performance in his first start on Saturday versus the Mariners. Giolito only lasted 4 1/3 innings. Over that span, Giolito allowed six hits, five runs, four walks and four strikeouts. Giolito has showed potential in the past, but can be avoided in most […]

We have a full day of games but they are split into an early slate and a late slate, so I'll bring a few options from each slate. There is no super expensive pitcher on the slate, so you can look elsewhere if you want to spend down. In this article, I will be providing […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/6/19): MLB DFS Lineups

Saturday brings us a strange day for DFS. There are really no stand out pitchers on either of the two main slates. Yes there are good pitchers but their matchups mean that there is no must use option. That presents some interesting strategies for GPP, as we could see a lot of the big bats […]

Luis Robert Off To Strong Start In Minors

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert, who didn't hit a single home run over 186 at-bats in 2018, hit two home runs and drove in four runs in his 2019 season debut with High-A Winston-Salem on Thursday. The No. 39 overall prospect, per MLB Pipeline, will be up in the big leagues sooner than later […]

White Sox Have Contract Talks With Dylan Cease

The Chicago White Sox have had preliminary contract talks with pitcher Dylan Cease about an extension during spring training, according to a source. However, nothing is close to happening. Cease is the No. 21 overall prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and figures to be called up at some point in 2019. The 23-year-old had 124 strikeouts […]

No Timetable For Jon Jay

Chicago White Sox outfielder Jon Jay (groin) said that there is no timetable for his return, although he is feeling much improved. The veteran outfielder should see decent playing time in Chicago's outfield when he's ready, but he doesn't offer much fantasy appeal outside of AL-only leagues. The 34-year-old hit a mediocre .268/.330/.347 with three […]

Daniel Palka, Yolmer Sanchez Sitting Friday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Daniel Palka and infielder Yolmer Sanchez are out of the starting lineup on Friday. Leury Garcia is in right field and leading off, Adam Engel draws the start in center field and is hitting ninth and Jose Rondon is at the keystone and batting eighth against Mariners left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. Garcia […]

Tim Anderson Back From Paternity Leave

The Chicago White Sox activated shortstop Tim Anderson from the paternity list on Thursday. They also optioned reliever Dylan Covey to Triple-A Charlotte and activated pitcher Ian Hamilton (shoulder) from the injured list and sent him to Charlotte. Anderson has four hits in his first 12 at-bats (.333) of the season and will be set […]

Baseball is back! Opening Day of the 2019 MLB slate came and went last week, but now we have the start of the minor league season to look forward to this week.

AL-Only Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 1

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 […]

Prospects Stock Watch for Week 1 of Fantasy Baseball

The first week of baseball has seen disappointments and surprises abound, but none more than looking to early rookie performances. From players not expected to make the team playing key roles, to players not being held down due to service time, this is a great time to jump into the waiver wire to grab those […]

Yoan Moncada Stays Hot

Chicago White Sox infielder Yoan Moncada continued to swing a hot bat on Wednesday. Moncada went 2-for-3 with a home run. He also scored three runs, drove in two runs and drew a pair of walks. The most important part of his season has been that he has only struck out three times this year. […]

Leury Garcia Scores Three Times

Chicago White Sox outfielder Leury Garcia had himself a game on Wednesday. Garcia went 4-for-5 with three runs scored and a stolen base. Garcia is playing every day for the White Sox, but as a .241 career hitter with limited power, Garcia shouldn’t be considered outside of deeper AL-only leagues.

Carlos Rodon Has Strong Outing Versus Indians

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon put together another strong outing on Wednesday versus the Cleveland Indians. Rodon allowed two hits, one run (zero earned), one walk and struck out nine batters. Rodon now has a 1.59 ERA over his first 11 1/3 innings and has struck out 15 batters over that span. Rodon […]

Reynaldo Lopez, Lucas Giolito, Ivan Nova Lined Up For White Sox

The Chicago White Sox will start pitchers Reynaldo Lopez on Thursday, Lucas Giolito on Saturday and Ivan Nova on Sunday for their upcoming series against the Seattle Mariners. The Mariners are hitting very well as a team right now and have four left-handed starting hitters. This makes Chicago's three starting pitchers, who are all right-handed […]

Tim Anderson Expected To Play On Thursday

Chicago White Sox manager Rick Renteria said he expects shortstop Tim Anderson to play in the home opener on Thursday. Chicago is set to face Mariners left-hander Yusei Kikuchi on Thursday afternoon. The 25-year-old Anderson left the team on paternity leave Monday and is hitting .333 (4-for-12) with a run scored, RBI and stolen base […]

Tim Anderson Placed On Paternity Leave

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has been placed on paternity leave. Anderson was scratched from the White Sox lineup on Monday after his wife went into labor. He flew back to Chicago to be with her and will likely miss the next couple of games. Infielder Yolmer Sanchez has shifted from second base to […]

Which No-Hit Bid Means the Most?

Three MLB starters, Detroit's Jordan Zimmermann, Chicago's Lucas Giolito and Baltimore's Davis Hess, all took no-hit bids deep into their first start of the MLB season. Unless you play in an AL-only league however, you probably don't own any of them. Now, they sit staring at you atop the waiver wire with their sparkling ERA […]

Ivan Nova Performs Well In White Sox Debut

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Ivan Nova went seven strong innings on Monday versus the Cleveland Indians. Nova was acquired from the Pirates this offseason and made a strong impression on his new club. Nova allowed six hits, one run, one walk and struck out four hitters. Nova is a fine option in deeper AL-only […]

Tim Anderson Scratched From Monday’s Lineup

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has been scratched from Monday’s lineup. Anderson’s wife is in labor and he will be flying back to Chicago to welcome his second child. Jose Rondon will replace Anderson and bat eighth. Rondon is nothing more than a dart throw in DFS on Monday.
