2020 MLB Betting Trends: Early Observations

Betting on MLB games this season has already presented difficulties, including COVID-19 complications and, as recent reports suggested, a standard ball that isn't traveling as far as expected on average, With about seven weeks left in this shortened MLB regular season, betting data is starting to look usable -- or, as usable as it can […]

The Baller Ranks: Top 200 Hitters Weekly Rankings (Week 4)

Last week's full launch of The Baller Ranks was one of the most gratifying things I've done with fantasy baseball, and I want to thank everyone who reached out with support, suggestions, and questions. To that end, I got some questions about why guys moved or didn't. Early in the season, projection systems struggle to […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/11/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

We head into Tuesday night with a large twelve-game slate on tap. We have Coors in play tonight, plus other great spots to target as pitching is very suspect on tonight's slate. There are a lot of ways to go tonight and the DK plays should help point you in the right direction. Listening to […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/11/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Whether owners will get a true “complete” slate at any stage in 2020 as the league adjusts to the COVID-19 pandemic on the fly remains to be seen, but Tuesday is a close microcosm of what a packed house main slate will look like. In addition to having to combat Coors Field, Max Scherzer and […]

H2H Points League Pickups, Waiver Adds: Week 4

Another wild and wacky week in MLB, though it was tamer than the week before. Any week that a new team doesn't disappear from the schedule after a COVID outbreak is a good week, right? We're still at the point of the season where the waiver wire is littered with positional players who are excelling […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

Entering week four, the season is still moving forward. Some teams playing more than others and it certainly is interesting. Which players have COVID-19? Which schedules will be altered? Who is pitching on which days? Essentially, it continues to bring chaos and we need to embrace it. Before we dive in, we need to keep […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

It's easy to hyper-analyze slow starts with nearly a quarter of the season gone (for some teams, at least), but it's important to keep in mind that teams have played fewer than 20 games. That's an extremely small sample of performance, and overreactions to poor early results have left some likely to be productive outfielders […]

The Cut List (Week 4) - Time to Let Go?

The season is about one-quarter over for the luckiest teams, who have played up to 14 games out of 60. Meanwhile, the Cardinals have played all of five. If only you could have known beforehand which teams would be asymmetrically affected by the current health situation. But while we're dealing with small samples, they represent […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/10/20): MLB DFS Lineups

We'll take a look at today's nine-game slate on DraftKings, picking out the pitchers, infielders, and outfielders that can help you take down a big […]

MLB DFS Prop Picks for Monday, August 10th - Monkey Knife Fight

It's hard to believe, but some teams are already a quarter of the way through the MLB season. Unfortunately, with the quarter-season mark sitting at just 15 games, early-season trends are difficult to rely on. Although that can make decisions difficult for fantasy players, it can also lead to opportunities for DFS players. Our friends […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/10/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We kick start a new week with nine games on the main slate for FanDuel. That leaves us with a very high-salary pitcher (Patrick Corbin $10,800) and some middle-tier arms. It's always nice to have more high-upside options, but we can still grab Dustin May or Kyle Gibson to anchor our teams. I could go […]

Michael Fulmer, Daniel Norris To Piggyback Monday

Detroit Tigers right-handed pitcher Michael Fulmer and left-hander Daniel Norris are slated to split Monday’s start against the White Sox with Fulmer going first, followed by Norris. The decision severely caps both men’s fantasy intrigue, as they likely will not pitch long enough to compile enough points. Fulmer had his second start pushed back due […]

JaCoby Jones Leaves Game With Abdominal Tightness

Detroit Tigers outfielder JaCoby Jones (abdominal tightness) left Sunday's game after tweaking his core on a swing. Jones was pushing to stay in the game but manager Ron Gardenhire wasn't having it, replacing the 28-year-old with Harold Castro in the bottom of the third inning. Jones has been the hottest hitter in a suddenly resurgent […]

Miguel Cabrera (1B, DET) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS:  Could it be? Is Miguel Cabrera back? Well, his early numbers are certainly promising. Miggy has slugged four homers and has a .302 ISO in 43 PA going into play Sunday. The future Hall-of-Famer is pulverizing the ball, with a 94 MPH average […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/9/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Sunday winds down another excellent weekend of FanDuel action, and today's slated will consist of an eight-game afternoon. The pitching side is well-stocked with an abundance of quality arms, leading to many different lineup constructions. The goal is to find the correct combination of talent by exploiting the weaker matchups. Much like yesterday, the expectation […]
