There is so much to look at when evaluating pitchers in 2021. The amount of data we have is incredible. At the time of this writing, there had been 186,220 pitches thrown this season. I wanted to examine the individual pitch types and see which pitchers have been most effective with each. I am mostly focusing […]

We have eight games today, but the Jays and Rays end the wraparound weekend series in Dunedin for the matinee, so that game is off of the FanDuel main slate. So are those jerks in Miami that thumbed their nose at MLB and start a half hour earlier than everyone else on the East coast. […]

Dominic Smith Without A Home Run Since April 13

New York Mets outfielder/first baseman Dominic Smith went 1-for-4 in the Mets' 5-1 loss to the Marlins on Sunday. Smith had been heating up in early May, giving fantasy managers some hope, but he has fallen back into a slump. Smith is batting just .192/.276/.192 over his last seven games and has not hit a […]

J.D. Davis Misses Rehab Appearance On Sunday

New York Mets third baseman/outfielder J.D. Davis (hand), currently on the 10-day injured list, missed Sunday's rehab appearance with the Mets Triple-A affiliate Syracuse due to a stiff neck.

Noah Syndergaard Moving To Triple-A For Next Starts

New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (elbow) will be moving up to Triple-A Syracuse to continue his rehab assignment this week.

Jacob deGrom To Start Tuesday Against Rockies

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (side) will make his next start on Tuesday against the Rockies, according to manager Luis Rojas. deGrom's imminent return from the 10-day injured list is welcome news to fantasy managers and the Mets, as he has pitched to a 0.68 ERA and 1.03 FIP with a 65:7 strikeout-to-walk […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 9

Week 9 of the fantasy baseball season is here and man, does it feel good to have it happen in mid-May rather than September. This time last year, fantasy playoffs were starting. This season, we've got a long way to go and I for one could not be more excited we still have over four […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

Injuries have been up around the league, and middle infielders haven't been spared, so things are looking a bit thin out there on the ol' waiver wire. You can still find help, though, and that's the goal of this exercise. Most of the players who will be written up in this feature won't be the […]

Catchers to Stream - Week 9 Waiver Wire

It's your resident catcher advocate here, with my weekly defense for baseball's most maligned position.

[…]

Carlos Carrasco Still Weeks Away From Return

New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (hamstring), currently on the 60-day injured list, still has not started throwing off a mound. He is merely playing catch at this point. As a result, Carrasco, initially expected to return to the Mets around the week of May 9, remains weeks away from a return to the […]

Brandon Nimmo's Return Delayed By Nerve Issue

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (finger) has been on the 10-day injured list with a left index finger contusion since May 4.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/23/21): MLB DFS Lineups

Today's slate is a little more straightforward than yesterday's fragmented one on DraftKings. We have a 10-game main slate that starts at 1:05 pm Eastern in the traditional matinee baseball format on Sundays. We've got four pitchers in five-figures, but it thins out a little after that. Should we pluck both starters from that upper […]

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor went 2-for-5 with a double, RBI, and a run scored in the Mets 6-5 win over the Marlins on Friday. Lindor remains in the midst of a rough start to the 2021 campaign, as well as in the midst of a rough stretch. He is batting just .179/.233/.357 over […]

Marcus Stroman Posts Another Quality Start On Friday

New York Mets starting pitcher Marcus Stroman allowed just two earned runs over six-plus innings in the Mets 6-5 12-inning win over the Marlins on Friday night. He struck out eight while allowing only six hits and one walk in a solid performance. It was a nice bounce-back for Stroman who was roughed up by […]

Wow. Just wow. Back-to-back nights with a no-hitter this week between Corey Kluber and Spencer Turnbull.
