Mookie Betts Out Of Lineup Friday Night

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts is sitting out of Friday night's game against the Brewers. Betts has been struggling at the plate since he missed nearly a week with back tightness earlier in the month, as he is slashing .213/.324/.344 over his last 15 games. Hopefully this is just a night off to allow […]

Trevor Bauer Continues White-Hot Start

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Trevor Bauer continued his strong start to the season, tossing an eight-inning complete game Thursday against the Brewers. Bauer (3-1) allowed only two runs but picked up his first loss of the season despite another dominant performance. Bauer has been as elite as advertised through the first month of the season, […]

Mookie Betts Slugging Only .405

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts will be excited to put this first month of the season behind him heading into the weekend. It has been a strangely ineffective April for Betts, driving in only five runs through his first 84 at-bats. Betts is an elite talent but is hitting only .158 with runners in […]

The Big Picture - Fantasy > Reality

Reality doesn't always meet our expectations (not just talking baseball here). But in the fantasy world, we can make things play out however we want. A player is slumping? Cut or trade him and he's gone forever. Your favorite baseball team can't realistically pull that off midseason no matter how much you want Matt Carpenter […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 6 Waiver Wire

Another week gone by, and a lot went down in the AL bullpens while the NL bullpens mostly had a straightforward week. The Tigers and Reds bullpens are still their own messes. The Royals may have a new closer already. The Mariners may be moving to a new guy too. The Blue Jays bullpen might […]

Gavin Lux Gets Night Off Thursday

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 […]

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 […]

Joe Kelly Nearing His Season Debut

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Joe Kelly (undisclosed) could be getting close to making his season debut after being out since the start of spring training with an undisclosed injury.

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 […]
