DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/1/16): MLB DFS Advice
DraftKings prices came out before Clayton Kershaw was placed on the DL. That means the Rockies price tags are all extremely low, such as Carlos Gonzalez, who is only $3.4k tonight.

Matt Shoemaker (SP, LAA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
Baller Move: Add in all leagues Owned in: 55% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Not much has gone right for the Angels this year as they sit at 31-39, 7.5 games back from the Wild Card and 14.5 games behind the Rangers in the AL West, but at least Matt Shoemaker is making a recovery in […]

It's the buying low edition. This week, I'll cover a couple good players who were recently optioned.

Beleaguered Dallas Keuchel May Be Onto Something, To Improve
Can He Return To Form? I won't say Dallas Keuchel is out of the woods just yet. I think it might be a bit of a hyperbolic characterization of his recent success. Even the word "success" is a bit hyperbolic here, but take note: in Keuchel's last five starts, he has struck out 34 hitters […]
