Jordan Lyles To Make Brewers Debut Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jordan Lyles will make his debut with the team on Wednesday against the A's after being dealt from the Pirates two days ago. While the matchup is a decent one, Lyles is still much too risky as a fantasy streamer. The right-hander started the year off strong, but he has tanked […]

Brewers Send Jesus Aguilar To Rays For Jacob Faria

Former Tampa Bay Rays starter/reliever Jacob Faria is heading to the Milwaukee Brewers in a trade for first baseman Jesus Aguilar. Faria had a strong rookie year as a starter, but then regressed and was eventually moved to the bullpen where his stuff started to shine. For now, it's unlikely that Faria will join the rotation […]

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 18 - Buy or Sell?

It's trade deadline day. Will any actual trades be made, and which hitters will change parks, and for better or for worse? Lots of unanswered questions. However, most of the players below are unlikely to move. Weekly reminders: EVAB (pronounced ee-vab or ev-ab) is simply exit velocity on "air balls" - meaning fly balls and […]

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 7/30/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

In recent articles, the focus has shifted to lesser-known players, those that might offer some value because they aren’t household names. Sometimes it’s rookies, like pitchers Tyler Beede, Joe Musgrove, Taylor Clarke or Griffin Canning, all of whom are on the mound Tuesday. There’s also Julio Urias, the Dodgers lefty who has spent most of […]

Brewers Acquire Jordan Lyles for Second Straight Year

Initially scheduled to start in Cincinnati on Monday night, Jordan Lyles was instead traded to the Milwaukee Brewers for 25-year-old minor league reliever Cody Ponce, a 2015 second-round draft pick for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

It figures: we spend all year discussing a plethora of trade deadline possibilities and make allusions to chaotic deadlines of years passed, and we are experiencing one of the slowest deadlines in recent memory.

Can you believe it's almost the end of July. I don't know about you all, but this summer has just been one giant blur to me. We've seen a lot of great performances out of this column, while others...let's just not think about them. It's time to crown a champion from the Week 15 list, […]

Chase Anderson Mediocre Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Chase Anderson gave up two runs on four hits and a walk through five innings while striking out four in Saturday's outing against the Cubs.
