Early Plate Discipline Improvers

Early season data is never very reliable. When you are still in the first month of the season, one game can have a big impact on a player's stat line in most categories. That makes it somewhat foolish to look at the data until you at least get a month or so of games out […]

Shohei Ohtani's Splitter Is Downright Nasty

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani's split-fingered fastball is one of the most unhittable pitches in baseball. Hitters went 2-for-55 with 35 strikeouts against the pitch in 2018. Hitters are 0-for-19 with 18 K's against the pitch in 20 plate appearances so far in 2021. Of 23 swings at the pitch, hitters have whiffed […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/29/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

It's NFL Draft night so you know what that means, it'll be another fun night of MLB DFS action! It's an interesting Thursday slate as one pitcher is clearly above everyone else and he also has the best matchup on the slate. Trevor Bauer ($11,000) is a whopping $1,800 more than the next-highest arm, in […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/29/21): MLB DFS Lineups

We have a 5-game main slate on tap tonight. Scratch that, now a 4-game main slate with the CWS/DET game getting scratched as it is now a part of a doubleheader. It is an ugly 4-game slate and one that will be pretty chalky at the pitching position but does have a few ways to […]

Max Stassi Activated From Injured List Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels catcher Max Stassi (thumb) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Stassi was dealing with a sprained left thumb, though manager Joe Maddon had said that he was close on Monday- so the move isn't too surprising. The veteran catcher is batting ninth against Rangers' right-hander Dane Dunning. Stassi was […]

Justin Upton, Albert Pujols Not In Wednesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton and first baseman Albert Pujols are not in Wednesday's lineup for the game against the Rangers.

Top 50 Fantasy Baseball Prospects for Week 5

When the spring began, I would have been called crazy for suggesting that players like Yermin Mercedes, Akil Baddoo, and Adolis Garcia would be among the top rookies for the month of April. But here we are. The hitters are starting to outshine the pitchers now that a number of big arms have graduated from […]

We've got more night games than usual for a Wednesday and with it all the fun that goes into breaking down larger slates. The pitcher pool features pair of aces in Carlos Rodon ($11,000) and Tyler Glasnow ($10,800). The Tampa Bay hurler will be a popular play thanks to his crazy 39.7 percent strikeout rate, […]

Albert Pujols In Lineup Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols will start and hit seventh Tuesday against the Rangers in Arlington, Texas. Pujols is no longer the potent offensive force from seasons past but the future Hall of Famer has four home runs over his last seven games. The 40-year-old is slashing only .222/.279/.460 and lacks long-term fantasy […]

Jared Walsh Posting .951 OPS

Los Angeles Angels outfielder/first baseman Jared Walsh will be looking to finish up a strong April on a high note when the team takes on the Rangers on Tuesday.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/27/21): MLB DFS Lineups

We have a 13-game slate on tap tonight. It's quite a monster slate when breaking it all down. There are four pitchers over $9,000, with a couple of ok options in the mid-price range, and the punts are not the most appealing. With the lack of pitching depth, there are bats for days. There are […]
