The Cut List (Week 15) - Time to Let Go?
The All-Star Break will be here after today's games. For players who won't participate in the game on Tuesday, it's a chance to take a break from the grind for several days. And several players could use one, like perhaps the cut suggestions below. Despite the days off, there's nothing really about the break that […]
Buy or Sell: Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 15
Today's piece covers a set of players who either should not be available on waivers or will return back there soon. Most of the earlier editions of this recurring buy or sell article have included several universally owned players whose values have been manipulated enough by early season performances. Unfortunately, as we get deeper into the year, […]

Orlando Arcia is Out on Sunday
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia (shoulder) is expected to be ready to play after the All-Star break. Arcia was carted off the field after colliding with infielder Keston Hiura on Saturday. The Brewers don't believe this is a serious injury, so Arcia is just going to get some rest. Tyler Saladino will cover shortstop and […]
Christian Yelich is Out on Sunday
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Brewers want to give their All-Star outfielder some extra rest. Ben Gamel will cover left field and bat seventh versus righty Joe Musgrove.

Ryan Braun Likely Out Until All-Star Break
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Braun said that his knee he injured during the playoffs has been nagging him recently. The Brewers will give their slugging outfielder some extra rest, so he's likely going coming off the bench until after the […]
Midseason Mea Culpas
Anyone who has read my work already knows this, but I've never been fully comfortable with the term "expert." Why? The universe is chaos, especially when it comes to the weighted random number generators that we call sports. The few who are able to make a living as sports bettors still typically aren't much more […]
Closers and Saves Report - Week 14 Waiver Wire
Changes are coming in the desert, as the Diamondbacks look ready to move things around in their bullpen. The Reds, meanwhile, look like they're going back to how things were before. The A's got their closer back from the injured list, but is he still going to be their closer? What's going on with the […]
Brandon Woodruff Takes Loss Against Cincy
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff took his third loss of the year on Thursday against Cincinnati. Despite the result, the righty pitched well against the Reds, allowing just one run and seven hits while striking out six batters on the day. Nonetheless, the 26-year-old will enter the All-Star break with 10 wins on the […]
Digging Deeper: AL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 14
very 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 7/5/19 - Monkey Knife Fight
There are 26 starting pitchers today and it looks like, give or take a few, there could be about four – Jacob de Grom, Justin Verlander, Zack Greinke, and Clayton Kershaw – that look like good bets to suppress the offense from the other side. Otherwise, it looks there should be opportunities for the hitters […]

Ryan Braun Returns to the Lineup
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Braun left early during Tuesday's game after making a sliding catch.

Christian Yelich is Resting on Wednesday
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Yelich will get a day off to rest, but should be back in the lineup next game. Ben Gamel will cover right field and bat sixth versus righty Sonny Gray. Gamel has been hitting well over […]

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Yasmani Grandal (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Grandal will get a much-needed day off to rest here.

Hernan Perez Outrighted to Triple-A
Milwaukee Brewers infielder/outfielder Hernan Perez, who was designated for assignment on June 28, cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent to Triple-A San Antonio. Perez showed promise in 2016 with a .272 batting average, 13 home runs, and 34 stolen bases, but has not approached similar value since and was hitting just .235/.277/.383 in 160 plate […]
MLB DFS Prop Picks for 7/3/19 - Monkey Knife Fight
As much as I have touted overs on pitcher strikeouts, with some justification, it’s not something to accept blindly. Sometimes the number is just too big to bank on for that day, or maybe it’s a pitcher who doesn’t – even in this environment – pick up a lot of Ks. With a full slate […]
