DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/31/20) - MLB DFS Lineups
It's Friday, which means we've got a full slate of games (well, besides those two games that aren't playing for COVID safety concerns). There are a ton of good pitching options on the slate today, so have fun messing around with the potential hitting combinations that allow you to roster high-upside arms but be sure […]
Tony Gonsolin Starting Friday Versus Diamondbacks
Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Tony Gonsolin will get the nod in Friday's contest versus the Diamondbacks in Arizona. He's spent the beginning of the season with the club's taxi squad and will now take over for Alex Wood in the starting rotation. It's unclear how long he'll stay there, however, since he bounced back […]
Joc Pederson Not In Thursday's Lineup
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson is not in Thursday's lineup against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It's a smart platoon move by Los Angeles, considering how Pederson fares drastically better against right-handed pitching. A.J. Pollock will get the start in the outfield in place of Pederson and will bat fifth against left-hander Robbie Ray. Enrique Hernandez […]
Clayton Kershaw Could Return Sunday Or Monday
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (back) could return on Sunday versus the Arizona Diamondbacks or on Monday versus the San Diego Padres. Kershaw’s back flared up during his warm up on Opening Day and he was immediately placed on the 10-day injured list. Kershaw is arguably the best pitcher of his generation, but […]
Farm to Roster: Potential Call-Ups for Week 2
Every Thursday for the duration of the Major League Baseball season, I'm going to be discussing players on a team's Taxi Squad or Alternate Site Camp who are worth keeping an eye on or stashing in hopes of reaping fantasy goodness. I'll list league sizes where the player could be relevant and give you information […]

It's hard to fathom that we're already a week deep into what has been a tumultuous 2020 MLB campaign. Yet, here we are, albeit with a slate that has been slimmed down due to cancellations and early start times. Factor in that two of the top pitchers on the day (Luis Castillo and Yu Darvish) […]

Corey Seager Smacks Solo Shot On Wednesday
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager was 1-for-5 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Houston Astros. It was not the prettiest performance from the Dodgers lineup, but Seager still managed to show off his power stroke. The 26-year-old is now slashing .320/.393/.520 through his first six games. Even though Seager […]
Edwin Rios Plays Hero In Extra-Innings Win
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Edwin Rios belted a two-run home run in the 13th inning to lead his team to a 4-2 win over the Houston Astros on Wednesday. Rios entered the game as a pinch hitter in the 11th inning, and he made the most of his opportunity. Despite the heroic effort, Rios […]
Dustin May Adequate In Shortened Start
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Dustin May allowed one run on three hits across 3 1/3 innings of work during Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Houston Astros. He struck out three batters while walking two. His command was a little off in the contest, as he only threw 60 percent of his pitches for strikes. Nevertheless, […]
Deeper Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
The first week of the Major League season is in the books, and fingers crossed, we get to finish out the rest of the season. There aren't many takeaways from just a handful of games, but there are still a good amount of players that are sitting the depths of the free-agent pool that deserve […]
Joe Kelly Tagged With Eight-Game Suspension
Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed reliever Joe Kelly has been handed down an eight-game suspension stemming from an incident during Tuesday's contest against the Houston Astros. Kelly denied that he had intentionally thrown pitches at Alex Bregman and Carlos Correa of the Astros, in addition to having gotten into a verbal altercation with Correa following his […]
Clayton Kershaw Continues To Toss Bullpen Sessions
Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed pitcher Clayton Kershaw has yet to toe a Major League mound in 2020 due to a back injury that has landed him on the injured list. But after throwing a bullpen session Tuesday, with another scheduled for Thursday, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is optimistic in getting his ace back “sooner than […]

Clayton Kershaw Scheduled To Throw Bullpen Session Thursday
Los Angeles Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw (back) will throw another bullpen session on Thursday, according to manager Dave Roberts. There was speculation that Kershaw may be able to start Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, but the timeline no longer matches up. Assuming Thursday's session goes well, it seems as though it is only a […]
Kenley Jansen Picks Up First Save Of 2020
Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen tossed a scoreless ninth inning against the Houston Astros to pick up his first save of the season on Tuesday night. He worked around a one-out double by Carlos Correa but was dominant aside from that. The 32-year-old looked revitalized throughout summer camp and is looking to put a […]
Walker Buehler Has Average Outing In Season Debut
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler allowed two runs on three hits across 3 2/3 innings of work during Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Houston Astros. He struck out three batters while walking one. The Dodgers were incredibly cautious with their young ace since he had a late start to summer camp, as he only […]
Mookie Betts Tallies Two Hits On Tuesday
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts was 2-for-4 with an RBI, a walk, and a run scored during Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Houston Astros. It was Betts' first multi-hit performance of the season. The 27-year-old has had a modest start to the season, going 5-for-24 with two RBI and a stolen base through his […]
Looking at Rookie Performances - Opening Weekend 2020
As we wait oh-so-impatiently for star Angels prospect Jo Adell to get the call and delay our anticipation for top Blue Jays pitching prospect Nate Pearson, there are still plenty of noteworthy rookie performances to examine from this past weekend's action. We're going to take a look at the most notable performers and look at […]
Friday A "Possibility" For Clayton Kershaw
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Tuesday that starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (back) is a "possibility" to start in Friday's game versus the Diamondbacks. The veteran southpaw tossed a bullpen session on Sunday, and Roberts said if he can pass a bullpen test on Tuesday, he'll be good to go. Kershaw was scratched […]
Joc Pederson Sits Against Lefty Again On Tuesday
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson will be out of the lineup for the second straight game as the team faces Houston Astros lefty Framber Valdez on Tuesday. Pederson started the team's first three games of the year against the San Francisco Giants, facing two righties and lefty Tyler Anderson. Pederson went 1-for-3 with a […]
Alex Wood Placed On 10-Day Injured List
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Wood (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday afternoon. Right-handed pitcher Josh Sborz was recalled as a corresponding move. Wood did not look sharp during his first start of the season on Saturday, allowing three earned runs across three innings of work. The Dodgers' rotation is already […]
