Week 12 Waiver Wire Watch List

Here we are halfway through June and we’ve still got plenty of fresh faces on the watch list to go along with some repeats who just won’t seem to go away. Whether it’s an injury replacement like John Hicks or a forgotten-about multi-category asset such as Kevin Kiermaier, there are again a wide variety of […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 12

Injuries suck. We've always known this, but the move to a 10-day disabled list last year along with numerous injuries to high-profile players this year have slapped fantasy owners in the face with the hard, cold hand of reality. Injuries can cause huge shifts in value for fantasy players, so it's always wise to assess […]

Pedro Baez To The DL With Biceps Tendinitis

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Pedro Baez was placed on the disabled list Friday with right biceps tendinitis. Baez was sporting a 3.23 ERA with a 1.50 WHIP and 36 strikeouts in 30 2/3 innings this season. The Dodgers recalled Kyle Farmer in the move.

Rich Hill To Start Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill is set to come off the disabled list and start Tuesday at the Cubs. Hill has been sidelined since May 20th with a blister, which plagued him all last season as well. Still, he struck out 10 batters in his last rehab start and the blister issue seems […]

Matt Kemp Suspended One Game

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp (personal) has been suspended one game following his involvement in Wednesday's brawl with the Rangers. Kemp got in the face of Robinson Chirinos after a home plate collision. Chirinos was also punished with a one game suspension, but will serve his on Friday. Kemp is appealing his suspension and […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/15/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

A 15-game Main slate Friday is pretty well deserved after that weak four-gamer we had to deal with last night. Oh, and it's the weekend, too. Pretty sweet combination in my opinion. There are a handful of stud and stud-like pitchers at the top - so there's much to discuss. In this article, I will […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/15/18): MLB DFS Lineups

Thankfully, we have a full 15-game slate to work with on Friday as we construct our DraftKings DFS lineup. There is some top tier pitching as Vegas has given three teams the status of “heavy favorite” (at least -200 odds): Astros, Indians, and Dodgers. Don’t be surprised if I have one of those arms in […]

Week 12 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

In preparation for today's freeroll on DraftDaily, below you can find my recommended lineup picks.

Alex Verdugo Is On Fire In Triple-A

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Alex Verdugo has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games for Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp was ejected in the third inning of Wednesday's game against the Rangers after a home-plate collision with catcher Robinson Chirinos.

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 11)

The Tampa Bay Rays decided to call up their entire minor league system this past week. Well, not their entire team, but three notable prospects all got the call this past week and if they sell off the rest of their team, which seems not unlikely, we could see more minor leaguers come up in […]

Power Risers/Fallers for Week 11: Buy or Sell?

Welcome to Week 11 of the 2018 MLB season and a new week of our investigation into the steepest power trenders in baseball, whether those trends are positive or negative. As the season steamrolls through June, the window of opportunity to snag a surging slugger or to deal a down-and-out disappointment grows shorter with every […]

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill (blister) will be making a rehab start Thursday for Rancho Cucamonga. The plan is for Hill to throw four or five innings and then pitch for the Dodgers in his next outing. Assuming all goes well, Hill would be slated to start in Chicago next week. In six starts […]

Kenta Maeda Activated From DL, Starting Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Kenta Maeda (hip) has been activated from the 10-day disabled list and will start on Wednesday. Daniel Corcino has been optioned to Triple-A to make room for Maeda on the active roster. Maeda has been out since late May, but will be on the mound against the Rangers on Wednesday. […]

Joc Pederson Continues To Pile Up Home Runs In June

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson had another great game at the plate on Tuesday against the Rangers, going 3-for-4 with two doubles, a solo home run and two RBI. Pederson has been obliterating the ball in June and now has a .481 batting average with five doubles, seven HRs and 10 RBI in just […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/13/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner went 2-for-5 with a single and a double in Tuesday's 12-5 win over the Rangers. Turner had sat out of the previous three games due to a nagging wrist injury but seemed to play just fine. The 33-year-old has now played 21 games on the season, posting a […]

Trading Up - Nick Pivetta

When the Phillies called up Nick Pivetta last season, he had made five starts at AAA and put up a 1.41 ERA while averaging a 30% K-rate. Many fantasy owners salivated over the numbers when he arrived. He pitched well enough in his debut (2 Rs, 5 IP, 5 Ks) that many folks were patting […]
