Champ or Chump: Trent Grisham
While it seems like the MLB season just started yesterday, the final full week is rapidly approaching. If you're looking for an extra edge for the stretch run, rostering players on teams with a bunch of games to make up could give you a quantity advantage. The Cardinals, Brewers, Rockies, and Nationals are all scheduled […]
Must-Add Category Streamers for the Final Stretch
Sadly, just 10 days of baseball remain in the MLB regular season and the fantasy season. At least the commissioner was nice enough to let everyone into the postseason, so there'll be plenty more ball games on the tube to watch. Unfortunately, fantasy leagues don't work that way. You're in the last leg of the […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/18/20) - MLB DFS Lineups
We had only a small 6-game slate on Thursday night, so it's like Christmas morning looking at this 12-game slate tonight. There are a couple of top-end arms and a few main bats to focus on. We still have Coors in play as well which may lower the amount some of the other strong offenses […]

Brandon Woodruff Goes The Distance In Game One
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (2-4) took the loss while tossing a complete game (seven innings) in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits. He fanned five and did not issue a walk. It was a strong showing for Woodruff, but unfortunately for the right-hander, […]
Keston Hiura Connects For Home Run Number 13
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Keston Hiura went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during the loss to the Cardinals in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader. Hiura gave Milwaukee a 2-0 lead with his long ball off Adam Wainwright in the first. The homer was the second baseman's 13th of the season and it brought his […]
Freddy Peralta Grabs Win In Game 2
Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Freddy Peralta (3-1) pitched two perfect innings and struck out three to earn the win in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals. Peralta followed opener Brent Suter in the contest. The 24-year-old Peralta was particularly impressive in the fifth inning, striking out the side on 14 pitches. He's posted […]
Ryan Braun Smashes Three Run Blast
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run in a 6-0 win over the Brewers in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader. Braun didn't start the first game Wednesday, but he packed a punch in the nightcap. Cardinals starter Johan Oviedo allowed the first two batters to reach in the first […]
The Baller Ranks: Top 200 Hitters Weekly Rankings (Week 9)
Last week I wrote that the schedule had begun to have an outsized impact on value. At this point, it's not impacting projected value even more than recent performance. There are exceptions to that, but that's the overarching rule this week. Paul Goldschmidt's value has been buoyed by this aspect for much of the season. […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 9
It's hard to believe, but the last day of the 2020 MLB regular season is only two weeks away. Like last week's article, my recommendations will be largely short-term focused as a result. Also of note this week is that several players recommended are rostered in between 20% and 30% of leagues, but those players […]
