FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (3/30/19): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have four games in the early window and six games on the main slate, with a few in between those. Let's take a look at some options on the entire day so you can have some choices regardless of what slate you are playing. In this article, I will be providing you with my […]

Christian Yelich Homers Again Friday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 2-for-3 with another home run, two runs and a walk in Friday's loss to the Cardinals. Yelich is crushing the baseball right now and is easing the minds of owners who spent first-round draft capital on him. As of now, Yelich is proving his MVP level of power was […]

Jacob Barnes Rocked In Friday's Loss

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Jacob Barnes gave up three runs on three hits through his one inning of relief in Friday's loss to the Cardinals. Barnes was a potential candidate for saves while Jeremy Jeffress and Corey Knebel were out, but this outing may influence that. Barnes was given chances and saves last season and didn't […]

Ryan Braun Homers In Loss Friday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's loss to the Cardinals. With his age and injury history, Braun is unlikely to play every day. However, in a league with daily lineup changes he is still very valuable while healthy.

Freddy Peralta Shaky In 2019 Debut

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta gave up four runs on six hits and three walks through three innings during Friday's loss to the Cardinals. Peralta is only 22 years old and still has a lot of upside, even though Friday's game was discouraging. With an elite strikeout rate and a starting job for a […]

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/31/19. The […]

Lorenzo Cain's Thumb Is Fine

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain jammed his left thumb when he was caught stealing in Friday's loss to the Cardinals, but he is OK and no X-rays were required. The injury doesn't seem serious at all, so Cain should be back in the lineup on Saturday. He's a must-start in all season-long leagues and is […]

Jimmy Nelson Playing Catch Friday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (elbow) resumed playing catch on Friday. He will pitch in a game or two in extended spring training in Arizona before he starts a rehab assignment with Triple-A San Antonio. Nelson missed all of 2018 with a shoulder injury and then developed some right elbow soreness in spring training. […]

Jeremy Jeffress A Couple Weeks Away

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Jeremy Jeffress (shoulder) is pitching every three days and will do so again on Saturday. General manager David Stearns said that Jeffress is a couple of weeks away from a return. Even though Jeffress is starting the season on the injured list, he just got a little more intriguing for those […]

Corey Knebel To Have Tommy John Surgery

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Corey Knebel (elbow) said he has decided to have season-ending Tommy John reconstructive surgery on his right elbow. The hard-throwing right-hander will miss all of the 2019 season, so he can be safely cut in any fantasy leagues in which he was owned. With Jeremy Jeffress on the injured list, Josh […]

Opening Day Observations

When are we going to finally get around to making MLB Opening Day a national holiday? I can tell you the only thing that kept me from calling in sick was the fact that technology allows me to stream live games in HD on my cell phone while I sit at my desk waiting until […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (3/29/19): MLB DFS Lineups

After a full day of baseball, we have an eight-game slate to start our weekend and a solid amount of options at each position. For player stats, we'll be looking at last season until we have a solid sample size this season for pitchers and hitters. In this article, I will be providing you with […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (3/29/19): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 3/29/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

With Opening Day done, baseball is still in full swing on Monkey Knife Fight. There’s an eight-game schedule on Friday and this is a good opportunity to cover point categories that can be used in some MKF baseball props. There are standard overs and unders for one or two categories, but there are also overs […]

Mike Moustakas Homers In Win Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Mike Moustakas went 1-for-3 with a homer against the Cardinals on Thursday. Moustakas had a rough time in Milwaukee at the end of last season and is looking to rebound back to the 2017 numbers he put up with the Royals. One game is obviously too small of a sample size, […]

Christian Yelich Smashes First Home Run On Opening Day

Milwaukee Brewers right fielder Christian Yelich went 1-for-2 with a three-run homer and two walks in Thursday's win against the Cardinals. There has been a lot of talk over the off season on whether or not Yelich could reproduce the power that led him to the 2018 MVP, and Thursday's 407-foot homer looks to answer […]

Josh Hader Records Multi-Inning Save

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Josh Hader pitched two perfect innings and secured the save for Milwaukee's win against the Cardinals while striking out four. With Corey Knebel and Jeremy Jeffres both starting the year on the injured list, it is no surprise that Hader would be first in line for saves. Hader remains a valuable reliever […]

Jhoulys Chacin Solid In Opening Day Win

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin gave up three runs on three hits and two walks through 5 1/3 innings Thursday against the Cardinals while striking out seven. Chacin gave up all three runs on two home runs in the second inning, but otherwise pitched how you would expect an opening day starter to pitch. […]

Josh Tomlin Makes Braves' Opening Day Roster

Facing a litany of injuries to their pitching staff, the Atlanta Braves have named veteran right-hander Josh Tomlin to the 25-man roster for Opening Day. The 34-year-old, who began the spring with the Brewers before being released, will likely serve as the long reliever out of the bullpen. A casualty of Tomlin's promotion is Adam […]

Jeremy Jeffress Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Jeremy Jeffress (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday afternoon. Jeffress would have been the favorite for the closer role with Corey Knebel (elbow) sidelined, but he is not expected to be back until mid-April. Jeffress threw a bullpen session without any issue on Thursday and is scheduled to […]

Corey Knebel Determining Fate On Friday

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Corey Knebel (elbow) said he'll decide on Friday whether to undergo Tommy John surgery or attempt to rehab his ulnar collateral ligament. Knebel aggravated the injury during spring training. The 27-year-old is going to be sidelined for a considerable amount of time, regardless of the decision. The Brewers are likely going to […]

Using Sabermetrics For Fantasy Baseball Part 15 - Ballpark Factors

If you have ever selected a streamable pitcher based on home park or benched an otherwise must-start arm at Coors Field, you already know how much a stadium can impact a player's bottom line. Ballpark Factors quantify the influence each stadium has, allowing you to make the most of your fantasy team's real-life schedule. Today, […]

Predicting the Top 10 Finishers in Stolen Bases in 2019

Predicting the leaders in steals for the upcoming season may sound like a straightforward task, but it’s not as easy as it seems. There is quite a bit of variance involved, and the league as a whole has seen a sharp decline in stolen base attempts since the 2012 season (about 700 fewer attempts). Past […]

What to Expect from the Marlins' Young Rotation

In the days leading up to the start of the 2019 season, the Miami Marlins made it clear that the youth movement has completely taken over. Veteran Dan Straily was released and Wei-Yin Chen was sent to the bullpen, paving the way for a pitching rotation that doesn't boast a player over the age of […]

Finding Under and Overvalued OF Using Expected Draft Values

We've been rolling out our Expected Draft Values series, starting with Nick Mariano's look into some undervalued players and overvalued players. As draft season winds down today, we're going to give you some undervalued and overvalued players who qualify at outfield. As a quick primer, Expected Draft Value is the value you would historically expect, on average, […]

Three National League Outfielders Set To Break Out in 2019

Before listing the three National League outfielders destined for breakout seasons, it’s best to define what I classified as a “breakout” candidate. I decided to choose players that fantasy owners have seen on the waiver wire over the past few seasons. Perhaps these players have even found their way onto a roster or two. However, […]

The RotoBaller Head-to-Head rankings review series winds down with a view of first base through the lens of our three-man expert panel of fantasy accuracy champ Nick Mariano and premier staffers JB Branson and Bill Dubiel.
