Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups: Outfield
Max Kepler smacked three home runs for the Minnesota Twins on Monday. Today, he remains owned in just 36% of leagues. In fact, he leads the league with 11 HR since July 1.

Champ or Chump: What to Make of Gordon, Hamilton and Villar
It's Trade Deadline time, but I can't analyze lineup spots or roles resulting from trades that haven't happened yet. So, I'll save that for next week.

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/27/16): MLB DFS Advice
The pricing on FanDuel seems to be a bit questionable. Guys are extremely cheap, and it's fairly easy to construct a great lineup.

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/26/16): MLB DFS Advice
A 15 game slate in which every game takes place under the lights is a thing of DFS beauty.

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/24/16): MLB DFS Advice
