The Big Picture - Closer Committees Are Here to Stay

The fireman has morphed into a fire department. We've seen this trend coming in recent years but it appears that the days of a Major League team having a single definitive closer are all but over. The instability that came with the 2020 season brought an increased reliance on middle relievers to spread out innings. […]

NL-Only and AL-Only Waiver Wire for Week 3

With the Major League season fully underway, it's time for fantasy managers to take a little bit of inventory on their roster and see how their players have performed thus far and whether or not any action is needed. Injuries have been piling up, playing time is being ironed out, and players are inserting themselves […]

Justin Turner Carrying Offensive Load

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner will enter this weekend's action as one of the hottest hitters in the game. The 36-year-old continues to get up there in age but his production at the plate is still elite. Turner is 5-for-9 his last two games with one double, two home runs, three runs scored […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/15/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

"So, did anything interesting happen in baseball last night?", Tom asked imperfectly. Tom Swifty jokes aside, I still late can't believe a perfect game was broken up by an HBP just before the finish line. Still, a no-hitter is pretty impressive either way. I will say upfront that I am not expecting anything that infrequent […]

Gavin Lux Off To Slow Start

We have a split Wednesday slate, but the FanDuel main slate still has seven games on it. If you want to participate in the early slate, don't overthink it.
