Unexpected Dynasty Risers - Hitters

Every year in dynasty league drafts fantasy managers will target young future stars, prospects which rank highly among all prospect rankings. There's a tendency to overdraft/overpay for these high-end prospects as fantasy folks are drawn to the new and shiny things much like kids get gooey-eyed for the newest toys each Christmas. While this is […]

As will be the case every week, I will offer a couple of worthy streamers for each position (catcher, corner infield, middle infield, outfield) based on the number of games the players have for the upcoming […]

From to Farm to Roster: Potential Call-Ups for Week 6

Oh, boy, these call-ups are coming in bunches. Between last Thursday and today, seven of the eight priority pick-ups I mentioned last week are already in the Majors and one of the guys on the Watch List (Ryan Mountcastle) also got the call. With more teams vying for the expanded playoff spots, call-ups seem to […]

2020 Starting Pitcher K% Increases

We're somehow halfway through the 2020 season and judgments need to be passed. Every statistic has a point where it is said to begin to stabilize and become more useful than it is not. For pitcher's strikeout-rates, that point is after they've face 70 batters. Note that it's "begin to stabilize", not "stabilize".  These statistics […]

Edwin Rios Still A Week Away From Returning

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Edwin Rios (hamstring) is not expected to return from the injured list until sometime next week, according to manager Dave Roberts. Rios has been sidelined since August 16 with a strained hamstring. The 26-year-old was enjoying an effective start to the 2020 season, albeit as a utility player. He is a […]

Julio Urias Next Start Pushed Back To Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Julio Urias was scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers, but with Tony Gonsolin's impending call-up, Urias will take the mound on Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks instead. Urias could use the extra rest, as he has gone four innings or less in three of his past four starts. […]

Gavin Lux Placed Back On Taxi Squad

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux was sent back to the team's taxi squad following the second half of Thursday's doubleheader against the San Francisco Giants. Lux was 0-for-3 in the contest with two strikeouts. He remains one of the best prospects outside of the major leagues, but the Dodgers' depth prevents him from […]

Tony Gonsolin Getting The Call To Start Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin will be called up to start Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. The 26-year-old has not allowed a run through 14 2/3 innings in 2020, but the depth of the Dodgers' rotation has prevented him from earning a full-time spot. Nevertheless, Gonsolin is worthy of an immediate pickup in […]

Kenley Jansen Rebounds With Eighth Save

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen avenged his first blown save of the season during the second half of Thursday's doubleheader against the San Francisco Giants. He struck out the side in the seventh inning, while issuing one walk, to preserve a 2-0 win. It was the eighth save of the season for the 32-year-old, […]

Joc Pederson Showings Signs Of Life

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson was 2-for-2 with a solo home run during the second half of Thursday's doubleheader against the San Francisco Giants. After a dismal start to the 2020 campaign, he has responded with a .467 average and four RBI across his last seven games. Granted, Pederson's usage is quite sporadic as […]

The Baller Ranks: Top 200 Hitters Weekly Rankings (Week 6)

The Baller Ranks have a new player at number two, and his name is not Tatis, Yellich, or Acuna. While all three of those players have their claims to the second spot, the change is primarily based on volume. With that hint, can you guess which superstar has more remaining games than any other player […]

The Baller Ranks: Top 101 Relief Pitchers Weekly Rankings

Top 50 Prospects for Fantasy Baseball Redraft: Week 6 Rankings

For the first time this year, we have a new player atop the rankings of the Top 50 Redraft Prospects for 2020. Young Phillies' third baseman Alec Bohm has wrestled the top spot away from Chicago White Sox's five-tool threat Luis Robert. If you’ve been following this ranking all season long, you’re probably the proud […]

AJ Pollock Pops Sixth Homer On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder AJ Pollock was 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in the first half of Thursday's doubleheader with the San Francisco Giants. The 32-year-old has been effective, albeit unspectacular to start the 2020 season. He is slashing .273/.324/.525 with six homers, 17 RBI, and two stolen bases through 99 […]

Clayton Kershaw Tosses Six Scoreless Innings On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw scattered four hits across six scoreless innings during the first half of Thursday's doubleheader with the San Francisco Giants. He struck out four batters without issuing a walk. It was another vintage performance from the left-hander, improving his record to 4-1 on the year. Kershaw now owns a 1.80 […]

Caleb Ferguson To Start Game 2

The Los Angeles Dodgers will tab Caleb Ferguson as their starter for Game 2 of a doubleheader against the Giants. Ferguson has been nearly hitless in 13 games out of the bullpen this year and most likely will be acting as an opener. Ferguson is unlikely to go deep in the ballgame and should be […]

Dodgers Add Gavin Lux

The Los Angeles have added middle infielder Gavin Lux to their roster for Game 2 of a doubleheader against the Giants. This was expected as he had been traveling with the big league squad. Lux is acting as the 29th man and his time may be short. Lux remains one of the best middle infield […]

Walker Buehler Hits Injured List Due To Blister Issue

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Walker Buehler was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a blister on his pitching hand. Buehler was slated to start the second game of Thursday’s doubleheader against the Giants, with his replacement not yet being named. After lofty expectations preceded him coming into 2020, Buehler was unable […]

Clayton Kershaw To Start First Half Of Thursday's Doubleheader

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw will take the mound for the first half of Thursday's doubleheader against the San Francisco Giants. This comes after both teams decided to boycott Wednesday's game to shine a light on social justice issues in the United States. Kershaw is looking for some revenge, as his worst start of […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/26/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

Tuesday night was a doozy. Gerrit Cole and the beautiful-looking Yankees stack wiped out a ton of lineups as the NYY/ATL game got postponed shortly after lock.

Kenley Jansen Blows First Save Of 2020

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen surrendered a game-tying solo shot in the bottom of the ninth inning during Tuesday's tilt with the San Francisco Giants. It was Jansen's first blown save in eight attempts. The 32-year-old has been stellar throughout the first half of the 2020 season, carrying a 1.42 ERA, 0.71 WHIP, and […]

Julio Urias Surrenders Four Runs On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Julio Urias allowed four runs on six hits across four innings of work during Tuesday's 10-8 extra-innings loss to the San Francisco Giants. He struck out a season-high six batters while walking three. Urias continues to be a frustrating fantasy asset, mixing in stellar starts between bouts of mediocrity. The 24-year-old […]

Justin Turner Tallies Four Hits In Return To Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner was 4-for-6 with an RBI and three runs scored during Tuesday's 10-8 extra-innings loss to the San Francisco Giants. Turner sat out Sunday's game due to a sore hamstring, but he looked no worse for wear. The veteran infielder is slashing .294/.386/.431 with two home runs and 19 […]
