DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/7/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We only have seven games on the docket for Monday. Meaning, we’ll have to get creative with some of our decision making, when it comes to building a lineup that we’re happy with on this small slate of games. Fortunately, three games have an over/under of at least nine total runs (MIA/CHC over/under hasn’t been […]

Nicholas Castellanos Is A Strong Play Monday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Nicholas Castellanos was out of the starting lineup on Sunday with illness, but did pinch hit in the ninth inning. There's no reason to believe he won't be in the lineup Monday, and if he is, it's good news for fantasy owners. Castellanos and the Tigers will face lefty Matt Moore, who […]

John Hicks Is Detroit's Hottest Hitter

With veteran slugger Miguel Cabrera on the 10-day disabled list, the Detroit Tigers have turned to John Hicks to provide some pop in the batting order. And since the start of May, he has delivered. In 20 May at bats, Hicks is slashing .450/.500/.700. His Sunday performance didn't hurt, as he homered and drove in […]

Leonys Martin Turns In His Fourth Multi-Hit Game Of May

Leonys Martin has been a spark plug at the top of the Detroit Tigers lineup since the calendar turned to May, and on Sunday he turned in his fourth multi-hit performance of the month. Martin had two hits against the Royals, one of which was a double off starting pitcher Jakob Junis in the seventh […]

Week 6 Waiver Wire Watch List

Whether it’s a post-hype sleeper, a late blooming prospect or a hanging-on veteran, it pays to keep tabs on anyone and everyone who could potentially be a useful piece at some point during the fantasy season. You just never know when you’ll need to dip into the waiver wire to help plug a hole. This […]

Week 6 Waiver Wire - First Base(1B) and Third Base(3B)

Therefore, it is important that you are fluid and dynamic in your ability to fill the voids and get positive results. Therefore, do not grow roots with the first player you drafted or get off […]

Nicholas Castellanos Will Sit Sunday With Flu

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nicholas Castellanos (flu) will sit Sunday against the Kansas City Royals. Castellanos has been bitten by the flu bug, which has been working its way around the Tigers clubhouse. He should be out of fantasy owners' lineups until he has gotten over the flu.

Jeimer Candelario Sits Sunday With Jammed Left Thumb

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (thumb) will sit Sunday against the Kansas City Royals. Candelario jammed his left thumb in Saturday's game and will sit to give it time to heal. He should be out of fantasy owners' lineups, but the injury should not be long-lasting.

The Cut List (Week 6): Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 6 of the Cut List. This week features standard league viable options who’ve been too cold for too long. All of these players are safe cuts in standard formats.

Francisco Liriano's Gem Spoiled By Bullpen

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Francisco Liriano has exceeded expectations thus far, and his start on Friday was no exception. The veteran lefty fired seven innings of one-run ball, scattering three hits, striking out five, and walking two against the Royals. Unfortunately, he did not end up with a win in this outing, as relievers Daniel […]

Miguel Cabrera Lands On Disabled List

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (hamstring) is headed for the 10-day disabled list, club sources announced Friday. The veteran slugger had missed a few games earlier in the season with back tightness, and then missed three consecutive games with biceps spasms earlier this week. In his return from the lineup from the biceps issue, […]

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 6

It was nice to see Drew Pomeranz toss a quality start (finally) and prove that he's not a carcass of a former Rockies pitcher like Jhoulys Chacin. This, however, is a disclaimer that some of these buy-low/sell-high candidates may not pan out right away. Or ever. I'm still hoping that as soon as Domingo Santana […]

Jeimer Candelario (3B, DET) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Candelario continues to show he is more than just a temporary replacement player.

Nicholas Castellanos Knocks Three Hits In Loss

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nicholas Castellanos had three hits, one of which was a homer, as the Tigers fell to the Royals on Thursday. The young slugger launched a solo shot off Eric Skoglund, his third dinger of the year. He added another RBI later for good measure, bringing his season total to 20. He's […]

Fantasy Reflections: To Stash A Prospect

Several of the game’s top prospects have already been called up, none met with more excitement than Atlanta’s Ronald Acuna. The consensus best player in the minors finally got promoted on April 25 and is hitting .382/.432/.706 through eight games, with two home runs and five doubles already. That kind of production is what inspired […]

Week 6 Waiver Wire - H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

Miguel Cabrera Leaves Thursday's Game with Strained Hamstring

It has been an injury-riddled campaign so far for Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (hamstring). The 35-year-old was removed from Thursday's game after straining his hamstring in the sixth inning. He had just returned to the Tigers lineup after missing the previous three games with bicep spasms, but now it looks likely that he […]

Victor Martinez Out Of Lineup Thursday

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez (ankle) is out of the lineup on Thursday, as manager Ron Gardenhire told sources he's dealing with some swelling in his ankle. Miguel Cabrera (biceps) will fill in at DH and John Hicks will man first base.

Miguel Cabrera Back In The Lineup Thursday

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (biceps) will return to action and bat third Thursday after missing the last three games with a biceps spasm. He was removed from action on Sunday and hasn't played since. He'll man the designated hitter spot in the order Wednesday with Victor Martinez (ankle) out of the lineup. Miggy […]

In this article, I will be recommending players on every slate. In this article, I will be providing you with […]

Mike Fiers Faces Royals Thursday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Mike Fiers will toe the rubber Thursday to take on the struggling Kansas City Royals. It looks like a favorable matchup on paper, as the Royals have stumbled offensively out of the gate, but Fiers allowed 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings of work his last time against the Royals and […]

JaCoby Jones Tallies Three Hits, Scores Winning Run

Detroit Tigers outfielder JaCoby Jones had a nice day at the dish on Wednesday, going 3-for-5 as the Tigers beat the Rays. Jones hit a couple singles early in the game, but it was his leadoff triple in the bottom of the 12th inning that turned out to be one of the biggest plays of […]

Miguel Cabrera Remains Out Of Lineup Wednesday

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (biceps) will miss another game Wednesday, his third missed start in a row. He was removed from Sunday's game with a biceps spasm and is listed as day-to-day, but the team is playing it safe so as not to exacerbate the injury. The team waited to post Wednesday's lineup […]
