We have a full 12 game slate on Saturday night, and let's just say the pickings at starting pitcher are limited. We'll run through the top targets at SP as well as the hitters that look to be in prime spots and are worthy of your consideration on DraftKings. I'll be going through some of […]

Champ or Chump: Jo Adell

For as different as the 2020 fantasy season has been, one thing hasn't changed: fantasy owners love top prospects. Nate Pearson generated significant intrigue when Toronto (Buffalo?) summoned him to the MLB club, especially with so many scrambling for pitching. Now, the Angels have summoned their top prospect and the sixth-ranked prospect in the entire […]

Patrick Sandoval Getting The Nod Saturday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Patrick Sandoval will make his second start of the season versus the Rangers on Saturday. With Shohei Ohtani unable to pitch, a spot has opened up in the rotation after Sandoval was optioned to their alternate site at the end of July. The left-hander was decent in his 2020 debut, […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 3 Waiver Wire

Before this 60-game season started, we all knew every little thing would matter more. We knew that every game was, essentially, 2.7 times as important as a regular game in a 162-game season. We knew managers would have much shorter leashes on their underperforming players, and perhaps much quicker promotions for the quick starters. But […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/7/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Friday's games look to feature only a few big-ticket priced pitchers. The matchups for those several arms aren't quite as weak you would like, however. This slate should lead many to pay down on pitching to allow a way to lineups stacked with big bats. The lineup's today should look like a fantasy owner's dream, […]

Griffin Canning Set For Potential Strong Outing Friday

Los Angeles Angels right-handed pitcher Griffin Canning is slated to take the hill for Friday’s game against the Rangers at the newly pitcher’s friendly Globe Life Park. The Majors’ newest home turf is yielding the fourth-lowest runs per contest when considering park factor, which when added to the fact Texas entered play Thursday with the […]

Dylan Bundy Looking For Third Solid Start

Los Angeles Angels starter Dylan Bundy will take a 2.84 ERA into his third start of the season against the Mariners on Thursday. Bundy has pitched at least six innings through his first two starts of the season and has 15 strikeouts through 12 2/3 innings pitched. Bundy allowed three runs on four hits through […]

Jo Adell Scratched From Lineup Thursday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell is dealing with a tight quad which will keep him out of Thursday’s lineup against the Mariners and right-hander Taijuan Walker. One of the game’s premier prospects, Adell has gotten off to a 2-for-8 start in his big league career, with four strikeouts. Justin Upton and Brian Goodwin, who […]

Week 3 MLB Closers & Bullpen Usage Report

As this weird, altered season progresses, the imbalance in the schedule becomes a bigger and bigger issue. Some teams have already played double-figure games, while others have played just a single series. This imbalance is obviously troublesome for the standings with the playoffs not all that far off in the grand scheme. It is also […]

Top 50 Prospects for Fantasy Baseball Redraft: Week 3 Rankings

We have yet to play two full weeks of the Major League Baseball season but we’ve already witnessed a great many things in 2020 — some good, some not so good. But, on the plus side, this crazy season — and its 30-man rosters — has afforded quite a few opportunities to MLB rookies, especially […]

Shohei Ohtani To Return As A DH On Thursday

Los Angeles Angels DH and starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani (forearm) is expected to return as the team’s primary DH on Thursday. Ohtani probably won’t pitch again in 2020, and his full-time return to the lineup bumps Justin Upton to the bench with Jo Adell claiming a spot in the Los Angeles outfield. Although the effective […]

Jo Adell Batting Seventh Again On Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell is batting seventh again on Wednesday after doing so in his MLB debut as well. It’s not an ideal batting spot for the top prospect, but Adell should continue to see regular playing time in the Los Angeles outfield after slashing .289/.359/.475 in the minor leagues last season. As […]

Andrelton Simmons Progressing Slower Than Hoped

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons (ankle) remains "pretty sore," according to manager Joe Maddon. He will not be activated from the injured list when first eligible on Friday. David Fletcher will continue to get the majority of playing time at shortstop, and he has done well with the opportunity so far. Fletcher is slashing […]

Shohei Ohtani Still Sidelined On Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels dual-threat Shohei Ohtani (forearm) is not in Wednesday's starting lineup versus the Seattle Mariners. Ohtani was recently shut down from pitching for the entire 2020 season, but the team still plans on using him exclusively as a hitting option. The expectation is that the 26-year-old will return to the starting lineup on […]

Julio Teheran Limited To Around 60 Pitches Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels starter Julio Teheran will be limited to around 60 pitches in his 2020 debut on Wednesday night against the Seattle Mariners. The 29-year-old missed most of summer camp battling COVID-19, so he is not fully stretched out. Teheran posted a 10-11 record to go along with a 3.81 ERA and 1.32 WHIP […]

Julio Teheran To Debut Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels starter Julio Teheran will make his Angels debut Wednesday night against the Mariners. Teheran had been held back due to MLB's COVID-19 protocol but has cleared all hurdles and is ready to pitch. It's hard to project what to expect from the veteran but it can be assumed that he will be […]

Hot Prospects To Watch: Close Call-Ups and Hot Starters

Perhaps there's nothing more tantalizing in fantasy baseball than drafting an up-and-coming prospect or rushing to the waiver wire to bid on a Triple-A call-up. With no minor leagues this year, our favorite prospects are now playing on taxi squads, making it difficult for us to fantasize about since we can't get eyes on their […]

Mike Trout’s First At-Bat As Father Results In Homer

Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout returned to the lineup Tuesday against the Mariners and promptly cranked a home run in his first at-bat since becoming a father. Trout had been out of the lineup since July 29 attending to the birth of his son. Upon his return, he now has significant protection in […]

Justin Upton, Brian Goodwin To Platoon Upon Jo Adell’s Arrival

When the Los Angeles Angels called up top prospect Jo Adell, while also welcoming back Mike Trout, the number’s game in the outfield began to become apparent. Justin Upton and Brian Goodwin would be ceding way to the future of the team’s outfield, and per manager Joe Maddon, the two will now be platooning in […]

Joe Maddon Doesn't See Shohei Ohtani Pitching Again In 2020

Regarding pitcher Shohei Ohtani (forearm), Los Angeles Angels manager Joe Maddon said "I’m not anticipating him pitching at all this year." It was announced yesterday that Ohtani wasn't expected to start a throwing program for at least four-to-six weeks due to his grade 1-2 flexor strain. Now, Maddon has given us some more unfortunate clarity […]
