Reid Detmers Looks Impressive On Friday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers was recalled to take the mound against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. The left-hander went six scoreless innings, two hits allowed, and seven strikeouts in the loss. This was his first start since June 24, so hopefully there is more to come from Detmers. He has done enough […]

Reid Detmers Recalled On Friday

The Los Angeles Angels have called up left-hander Reid Detmers from Triple-A, according to Jeff Fletcher of the SoCal News Group. In a corresponding move, the team demoted right-hander Oliver Ortega. Detmers is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The 23-year-old has disappointed in his second season, posting a 4.66 ERA with […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/8/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

We were really close to getting a full 15-game slate, but the Reds and Rays are playing a 6:40 PM game, meaning we have "only" 14 games on the main slate instead. That also means my favorite lefty fireballer Shane McClanahan (and also the surging Luis Castillo) are not on the main slate, but we […]

Mike Trout Slumping Over First Week Of July

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout went 0-for-4 in the team's 4-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. It was his second consecutive 0-for-4 outing as he continued his sluggish start to the month of July. Over his first six games of the month, he's gone just 1-for-22 at the plate with a highly […]

Michael Lorenzen Lands On Injured List

The Los Angeles Angels placed right-hander Michael Lorenzen (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Thursday with a right shoulder strain and recalled right-hander Jose Marte from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move. Lorenzen's injured list stint is retroactive to July 4. The 30-year-old has struggled recently, and it's possible that he's been pitching […]

Shohei Ohtani Strikes Out 10 In Win Over Fish

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani continued to show his dominance on the mound in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Miami Marlins. The Japanese two-way star allowed an unearned run on two hits while walking three and striking out 10 in seven innings for his eighth win of the season. Ohtani also went 1-for-4 […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/7/22): MLB DFS Lineups

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! This is John Brubaker dropping some of my favorite plays for today's slate.

While we've been short on pitching on Thursday slates, we have no such issue tonight. There are a plethora […]

All-In-One MLB DFS Staff Picks and Analysis for 7/6/22 All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Eight-game Wednesday slate here.

Taylor Ward Hitless During Tuesday's Loss

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward went without a hit across three at-bats in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Miami Marlins. The one positive for the 28-year-old was a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning. The contest brought down Ward's line to .303/.393/.540, and he also has 12 HRs, 42 runs, 33 RBI, and two […]

Jonathan Villar: Champ or Chump for Fantasy Baseball?

Every fantasy manager has a weakness for a particular player or even player type. Perhaps you've rostered Nomar Mazara for the last five years because you just know that breakout is coming. Maybe you always spend a draft pick on Eduardo Rodriguez because this is the year he finally pitches up to his peripherals. You […]

Jared Walsh Retreats To The Bench Sunday

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh is absent from the starting lineup for Sunday's game against left-hander Framber Valdez on Sunday. David MacKinnon will be covering first base and batting eighth in the game. The left-handed Walsh has hit a respectable .257/.288/.400 against lefties this year, which has allowed him to remain in the […]

Jonathan Villar Hitting Leadoff Against Houston

Los Angeles Angels infielder Jonathan Villar is starting at second base and is hitting in the leadoff spot in his debut with the team on Sunday against the Houston Astros. Villar signed with the Angels on Friday after hitting .222/.271/.327 with two home runs, 15 RBI, 19 runs scored and six stolen bases in 166 […]

Raisel Iglesias Serving Suspension Sunday

Los Angeles Angels closer Raisel Iglesias had his suspension reduced to one game, and he'll serve it on Sunday against the Houston Astros.
