FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/5/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice
We have a split slate of games, with the early slate being the bigger one, but I will have players from both slates. Plenty of good options across the board, and whether you are looking for cash game players, or some that are more GPP focused, you will find them on this slate. I will be […]
Joakim Soria Picks Up Second Save
Chicago White Sox reliever Joakim Soria picked up his second save of the season Wednesday evening versus the White Sox. Soria is now 2-for-2 in save opportunities and it looks like the closer gig is his as long as he continues to perform well. Soria should be owned in all leagues as long as he […]
Jose Abreu Off To Hot Start In 2018
Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu continued his strong start to the season with his second home run of the season Wednesday evening. Abreu is now hitting .400 with two home runs and three RBI. He remains one of the best all-around power hitters.
Matt Davidson Hits Fourth Home Run
Chicago White Sox designated hitter Matt Davidson hit his fourth home run of the season on Wednesday. Davidson had cooled off since hitting three home runs on Opening Day and finished the game 1-for-3. Davidson is hitting .263 and has driven in seven runs. He is an option for owners seeking power, but be aware […]
Matt Davidson Playing In The Field Wednesday
Chicago White Sox manager Rick Renteria said that he wanted to get designated hitter Matt Davidson some time in the field and that’s why he put him at first base on Wednesday. First baseman Jose Abreu will serve as the designated hitter. Davidson hit three home runs on Opening Day and if you can stomach […]
Week 1 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers
It’s the beginning of April and you know what that means! It’s fantasy baseball season and it’s time to overreact to everything! Step out of the fantasy football mindset that may still have its hold on you and remember that while each day does matter, this is a marathon and not a sprint. As is […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/4/18): MLB DFS Lineups
This is a slate that has the games split roughly down the middle. Neither slate is significantly better than the other, and for that reason, I will be recommending players from both slate. I will be referring to stats and notes from last season since we have very little to work with early in 2018. […]
2018 Prospects - Top 30 Impact Rookies for Fantasy Leagues (Week 1)
Hello everyone, and welcome to my weekly Top-30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies! In this series, I will be going over the top prospects in baseball and discussing which ones figure to have an impact for the rest of this fantasy baseball season. What a debut for Shohei Ohtani? Aside from a rough second inning, […]
Yolmer Sanchez Out Of Tuesday’s Lineup
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yolmer Sanchez is absent from Tuesday’s lineup. Sanchez is 2-for-9 on the young season with three RBI and a stolen base. Infielder Tyler Saladino will replace Sanchez and bat eighth. Saladino can be avoided in DFS on Tuesday. Sanchez should be expected to return to Wednesday’s lineup.
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/3/18): MLB DFS Lineups
We have a split slate of games, but I will be focusing in on the 7 pm main slate, as it's larger. Plenty of good options across the board, and whether you are looking for cash game players, or some that are more GPP focused, you will find them on this slate. I will be […]
Welington Castillo Blasts Two Home Runs On Monday
Chicago White Sox catcher Welington Castillo hit two home runs versus the Blue Jays Monday evening. Castillo entered the year as a sleeper behind the dish and should be able to hit 15-20 home runs this year. Beef Welington has six multi-homer games in his career, the last three of which have come against the […]
Jose Abreu Gets Three Hits Monday
Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu went 3-for-4 Monday with two singles and a double. Abreu has been off to a hot start so far and is 5-for-12 on the young season with one home run. He remains one of the more underrated and consistent players in the game.
Reynaldo Lopez Pitches Well Monday
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Reynaldo Lopez fared well in his season debut Monday. Lopez allowed two hits, one run and struck out six over six innings versus the Blue Jays. Lopez is still young and could have an up-and-down season, but he is worth owning in AL-only leagues and worthy of a look in […]
Nick Delmonico Resting Monday, Leury Garcia To Start
Chicago White Sox outfielder Nick Delmonico will get a day of rest Monday evening. In place of Delmonico will be outfielder Leury Garcia, who will bat seventh. The White Sox will face left-hander Jaime Garcia Monday, and Garcia is no more than a dart throw in daily leagues.
Week 1 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)
The Corner Store is open. The season has officially begun and managers are already ravaging through the waiver wire for various reasons. First base and third base are generally the best spots to look to improve your team’s power. In most cases, it is preferable that it includes a decent average but that isn’t always […]
The Cut List (Week 1) - Time to Let Go?
I want to make this clear: you should be hesitant to cut any players you drafted at this point. I’m writing this on March 31st. You won’t see a ton of players on this list because it’s so damn early. The players on this list are guys you should strongly consider dropping soon. If you […]

This is our fifth year now writing this weekly column, helping fantasy baseball managers pick the best pitchers weekly. Below are the projected starting pitching matchups for Week 1, which will […]
Week 1 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)
The 2018 season is finally upon us, which means it's time to start overreacting to insanely small samples! Well, no – don't actually do that. As a rule, you shouldn't be making any drastic decisions at a time when Matt Davidson is tied for the league lead in home runs. But that doesn't mean you […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/2/18): MLB DFS Lineups
We have a weird DraftKings DFS slate of games on Monday. There is a five-game early schedule and a nine-game featured ticket. This piece will stick to the featured portion of the slate. There should be plenty of offense to be had on Monday. Seven of the 14 games have an over/under of nine total […]
FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/2/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice
Early season baseball slates are quite interesting for a number of reasons, ranging from small sample size to figuring out new park factors. However, another is that through the first few games of the season we see a lot of aces or other elite pitches on the same slate and likewise, as we move towards […]
White Sox And Royals Game Gets Postponed
Sunday’s contest between the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals has been postponed due to cold weather and rain. The game has been rescheduled for April 28. The White Sox have noted that they will stick with their normal rotation and James Shields will start their home opener on Thursday. Adjust your lineups accordingly […]
Digging Deeper - Week 1 Waiver Wire Targets
We are here, fantasy baseball enthusiasts! As things get underway, this is a great time to overreact and propose Matt Davidson for Felipe Rivero and Brad Hand because closers are fickle beasts. Don't forget to cut Trea Turner because Dave Martinez likes his speed in the 6-hole. I kid, I kid. Welcome to Digging Deeper. […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/1/18): MLB DFS Lineups
Today is an odd Sunday schedule, since only eight games are on the main slate at DraftKings. Normally, all teams will be in play on Sunday, but due to travel days we're working with a truncated slate. That means we need to get a little creative, as there is no obvious stack today. In this […]
FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/1/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice
Happy Easter, RotoBallers and welcome to the first Sunday DFS slate of 2018. I am JB, and I will be your guide today. If you look out your window you will see a 12 game day, broken up on FanDuel into a Main (seven games) and an All Day slate. We are lacking a bonafide […]
Yoan Moncada Connects For First Home Run
Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Saturday night. The youngster has one of the brightest upsides in the game and is still just 22. He offers plenty of upside as a five tool player and should be own in all leagues.
Joakim Soria Picks Up First Save
The Chicago White Sox called on relief pitcher Joakim Soria to pick up his first save on Saturday. Manager Rick Renteria mentioned over the spring that both Soria and Nate Jones would see action in the ninth inning, but Soria got the call tonight. The White Sox closer situation may be frustrating, but Soria for […]
Eloy Jimenez Out With Pectoral Strain
Chicago White Sox top prospect, outfielder Eloy Jimenez (pectoral) has a mild left pectoral strain and will be held out of baseball activities for a week. Jimenez will then report to extended Spring Training before starting his season in Double-A. Jimenez had a big spring and should be able to force his way into the […]
What to Make of Jose Martinez, Matt Davidson, and a Couple Other Quick Starts
Even though it's barely 50 degrees in Brooklyn, it feels like spring is finally nigh now that the 2018 MLB season is underway. As a Yankees fan, I'd been especially looking forward to opening day ever since Giancarlo Stanton was signed. He certainly didn't disappoint when he launched an opposite field home run at 117 […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (3/31/18): MLB DFS Lineups
