A.J. Pollock is Out on Monday
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder A.J. Pollock (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Pollock has been cold to start the season, so the Dodgers will elect to go with the hot bat here. Alex Verdugo will play center field and bat seventh versus righty Jeff Samardzija. Verdugo […]
Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 5
We are just over a month into the fantasy baseball season and it is a prime time to buy in on players whose production could be legit/should be better or hop off a heater before the floors caves in. As we all should know, baseball is a game of ebbs and flows. When there is […]

The Cut List (Week 5) - Time to Let Go?
Welcome to the final week of cuts in which you can still be told, "It's only April." However, you will not be told that. About one-sixth the season is now complete; that's still not much in the big scheme of things, but if you wait too long, suddenly it's the All-Star Break and someone has […]

Monday’s Major League Baseball schedule is not quite full, but nine games still offers many opportunities to find value while playing props on Monkey Knife Fight.

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen worked around a double and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning in Sunday's 7-6 victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates to secure his 10th save.

Cody Bellinger Ties For League Lead In Homers
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger went 2-for-3 in Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, including a solo home run off of right-handed starting pitcher Trevor Williams in the fourth inning.

Max Muncy Atones For Gaffe With Solid Offense
Los Angeles Dodgers first/third baseman Max Muncy made a throwing error in the second inning to cost his starting pitcher Rich Hill four unearned runs, but he atoned with three singles and a pair of RBI in the 7-6 comeback win. That included the go-ahead RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning off […]
Rich Hill Posts Quality Start In Season Debut
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill (knee) allowed five runs - one earned - and five hits with no walks and six strikeouts over six innings in his regular season debut on Sunday in a no-decision against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Rich Hill Activated, Starting on Sunday
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. This marks Hill's first start of the season as he's been sidelined all year with a lingering knee issue. He's not exactly the most reliable fantasy option out there. Fantasy owners should have a couple other options […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers plan is to activate catcher Russell Martin (back) from the injured list in order to start on Sunday against the Pirates. Martin did have five hits in 15 at-bats (.333) with a homer before his injury, but he'll strictly serve as a backup behind the dish to Austin Barnes in LA. […]
Cheap Steals, Where Art Thou?
The topic of stolen bases can elicit a wide variety of opinions. To some, it is viewed as a trivial and useless category.

Re-Squeezing the Juiced - Investigating Second Breakouts From 2017
