DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/17/21): MLB DFS Lineups

This is one of the more straight forward Saturday MLB slates in a while. We only have three early games and two teams that had the audacity to start an hour earlier than everyone else. That leaves a ten-game main Saturday slate, which is the largest in some time. Hopefully we don't have all of […]

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he doesn't know when starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (forearm) will play catch again.

Enrique Hernandez (2B/SS/OF, BOS) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: When we last saw Kike Hernandez (pronounced KEE-KAY), he was mashing lefties for the Dodgers for the last few years. That limited his chances. His career high in at-bats is 414, set in 2019 when the Dodgers had a lot of […]

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Trevor Bauer has had his administrative leave extended to July 27, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.

A.J. Pollock (OF, LAD) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 49% of leagues ANALYSIS: We all had high hopes for Pollock coming into the 2021 season. After all, he hit .276 with 16 homers in 55 games last season. He hit .264 with two homers and two steals in April. Not bad, but not what we paid […]

Mookie Betts Stays Hot With Another Home Run

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts continued to stay hot by going 3-for-4 with a walk and three runs. Betts also opened the game with a solo home run. The home run would be his second in as many days. Betts has been a major disappointment this season for managers, but he has turned it […]

Tony Gonsolin Continues To Be Pulled Early

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin only lasted four innings in Sunday's no-decision versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. Gonsolin allowed four hits, one run, one walk and struck out six on the afternoon.

Mookie Betts To Sit Out Of All-Star Game

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts won't play in the All-Star game next week due to an undisclosed injury.
