Rest-of-Season Starting Pitcher Rankings (Midseason Update)

The Midsummer Classic has come and gone, leaving us without baseball for what seems like the longest week of the calendar year. Before the second half of the 2019 MLB season gets underway, the RotoBaller staff has updated our fantasy baseball rankings for the remainder of the year. RotoBaller writers Nick Mariano, Pierre Camus, Bill Dubiel […]

Kyle Bishop's 10 Bold Predictions for 2019: Midseason Review

This week is as good a time as any to pause and reflect on the 2019 baseball season thus far. Fortunately, it's been a much less challenging year than last for yours truly. Other than a hapless squad in The Great Fantasy Baseball Invitational (15-team industry leagues are tough, and weekly lineups and waivers are […]

First Half Contact Rate Risers and Fallers

Well, the first half of the season has absolutely flown by! We have seen some great hitting and a lot of runs scored so far, and there promises to be just as much excitement in the second half of the season. Contact rate can foretell a player's batting average and general hitting statistics, and any […]

Digger Deeper: AL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 15

very 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 […]

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 15 - Buy or Sell?

Welcome to the All-Star Break edition of Power Hitting Risers & Fallers. All stats are full season through Sunday, July 7 (unless otherwise noted). For the break, this week's risers and fallers were selected somewhat more scientifically than usual. Everyone who had 100 plate appearances in both 2018 and 2019 had the number of plate […]

Hot Prospects To Watch - Mackenzie Gore, Bo Bichette And More

We hope you're enjoying this week's short break from Major League contests. The action hasn't stopped completely, though, with the Futures Game taking place on Sunday, a wild Home Run Derby on Monday night and the 2019 Midsummer Classic on Tuesday. There's a little bit of everything for the avid baseball fan. For those playing […]

The Cut List (Week 15) - Time to Let Go?

The All-Star Break will be here after today's games. For players who won't participate in the game on Tuesday, it's a chance to take a break from the grind for several days. And several players could use one, like perhaps the cut suggestions below. Despite the days off, there's nothing really about the break that […]

Ian Kennedy Embracing Closing Role

Kansas City Royals closer Ian Kennedy isn't exactly the second coming of Mariano Rivera, but he's proven to be decent at the job so far. He also seems to recognize that his future as a professional baseball player depends on him excelling in the role. Kennedy told reporters this weekend that he's enjoying the role […]

Whit Merrifield Steals 100th Career Base

Kansas City Royals second baseman/outfielder Whit Merrifield hit a milestone on Saturday when he swiped his 100th career bag. Merrifield is the sixth-fastest Royal to reach the mark, doing so in just 474 games. Merrifield is riding an eight-game hitting streak into the final game before the All-Star break, and the steal bumped him up […]

Alex Gordon Still Owns Scherzer

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon absolutely dominates Max Scherzer, and nobody knows why, not even Gordon himself. Gordon went 2-for-2 with a double and a walk against Scherzer on Saturday, compiling half the team's hits against the Cy Young winner, raising his career batting average to .390 against Scherzer. After the game, Gordo was […]

Glenn Sparkman Makes Unfortunate Highlight

Kansas City Royals pitcher Glenn Sparkman was tasked with going six innings against the Nationals on Saturday to give the bullpen some rest, and he did his job. He allowed four earned runs in six innings to take the loss, but at least he didn't get lit up like last time he went out there. […]

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 7/5/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

There are 26 starting pitchers today and it looks like, give or take a few, there could be about four – Jacob de Grom, Justin Verlander, Zack Greinke, and Clayton Kershaw – that look like good bets to suppress the offense from the other side. Otherwise, it looks there should be opportunities for the hitters […]

Whit Merrifield On Fire Before ASB

Kansas City Royals second baseman/outfielder Whit Merrifield seems to be really excited about his first All-Star Game. Merrifield has recorded multiple hits in every game since getting the nod, including doubles in three of his last five games. He also stole his 12th base of the season on Wednesday against Cleveland. Merrifield is rolling as […]

Jorge Soler Passed Over For Derby

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler was apparently one of the final options, but he was passed over for the Home Run derby this season. His 23 homers put him in a tie for third in the American League in big flies, but the organizers decided to go a different direction by opting for Alex […]

Danny Duffy Pitches Well In Loss

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy put up his fourth quality start in his last five appearances on Wednesday when he went 6 2/3 innings against Cleveland. Duffy allowed two earned runs, but that was enough to get saddled with the loss as his offense failed to appear. It was a wild outing by […]

Lucas Duda In Lineup Wednesday

On Wednesday, Kansas City Royals first baseman Lucas Duda is starting for the first time since Sunday as Cheslor Cuthbert sits. Duda will bat sixth against Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger. Duda is hitting a mere .173/.266/.321 in 94 plate appearances in 2019 and hasn't been a plus bat since 2017, making him an […]

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 7/3/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

As much as I have touted overs on pitcher strikeouts, with some justification, it’s not something to accept blindly. Sometimes the number is just too big to bank on for that day, or maybe it’s a pitcher who doesn’t – even in this environment – pick up a lot of Ks. With a full slate […]

Welcome to Wednesday baseball on DraftKings! We have been blessed with a 14-game main slate over on DK and there's a whole lot to dive into. From a game in Coors Field with a lack of solid cheap pitching to some expensive arms and cheap bats. There are a ton of ways to go tonight […]
