It was Merrifield's first multi-steal game since June 19. He now has an MLB-leading 27 stolen bases on the year. Merrifield's name came up in some trade rumors […]

Daniel Lynch Pitches Well But Takes Loss On Friday

Kansas City Royals pitcher Daniel Lynch posted his second consecutive quality start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday.

We have a manageable nine-game slate on tap in MLB DFS on FanDuel tonight, and it feels like it'll be a very interesting one as we're just one day removed from one of the busiest trade deadlines ever. There are only two teams (CWS and LAD) with implied totals of at least five runs, so […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/31/21): MLB DFS Lineups

It's a fairly reasonable DraftKings Saturday in MLB. The Jays pissed off DraftKings by starting an hour earlier than the rest of the 4pm Eastern games, so they go into their own showdown. The five game early slate looks solid, but I'm here to take you through the nine-game main prime time slate on DraftKings. […]

Brady Singer Starts Rehab Assignment On Friday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brady Singer (shoulder) is set to begin his rehab assignment Friday night for Triple-A Omaha, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reported.

Kansas City Royals second baseman White Merrifield is unlikely to be traded by the July 30 deadline.

Announcing This Year's Fantasy Busts - The Bigger Picture

The second half of the MLB season is about two weeks deep and the trade deadline brings a flurry of activity that will shake up rosters.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (7/30/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

The last MLB Friday slate of July features an interesting pitching pool, one that’s a bit short on reliable arms in my view. That makes plucking our anchor play and possible alternate selection a bit trickier than on other occasions, but I believe I’ve found two reliable candidates for those roles. Any time there’s questions […]
