MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 5/15 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Last week was very hit and miss. Carlos Martinez got us off to a great start with under 4.5 K. Then Luis Castillo happened and the less said about him right now, the better. Finally, the madness occurred. Picking under nine runs in the Royals vs White Sox game, Chicago scored eight in the first […]

Giancarlo Stanton Considered Day-To-Day

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (quad) is considered day-to-day with left quad tightness. Stanton was scratched from Friday's lineup due to the ailment, which he first felt during the series finale against the Rays- and again during pregame warmups. Manager Aaron Boone said that the slugger could be "down a couple of days" […]

Gio Urshela Belts Pinch-Hit Homer

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela didn't start in Friday's victory over the Orioles, but made an impact off the bench with his bat. Urshela entered as a pinch hitter for Tyler Wade in the seventh inning and put together a great at-bat, working a 2-2 count and fouling off four pitches before depositing […]

Aaron Judge Goes Yard Twice In Win Over Orioles

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs and a walk in a 5-4 win over Baltimore. Both of Judge's homers were key hits for the Yankees, as each one gave them the lead. All three of Judge's batted balls from Friday's game registered exit velocities of 100 […]

Jonathan Loaisiga Picks Up Second Save

New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga notched his second save of the season in Friday's 5-4 win over the Orioles. Loaisiga entered the game in the ninth with a one-run lead and made it looked easy, needing just six pitches to shut the door on the Orioles. The 26-year-old doesn't figure to see many […]

Corey Kluber Earns Third Win Of Season

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber didn't have his sharpest stuff but still earned his third victory of the season in a 5-4 defeat of the Orioles. Kluber allowed four runs on six hits in seven innings of work, striking out six batters with a pair of walks. The veteran right-hander had surrendered only […]

Gio Urshela Absent From Friday's Lineup

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (knee) is not in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Orioles. Manager Aaron Boone had mentioned after Thursday's game that Urshela was still dealing with some knee soreness- so it's not particularly surprising to see him take a seat on the bench. Miguel Andujar will get […]

Giancarlo Stanton Scratched From Friday's Lineup

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (quad) has been scratched from Friday's lineup due to left quad tightness. Stanton was originally slated to resume his usual role as the number-two hitter in the order, though he was removed from the lineup late. The slugger had appeared in each of the last nine games, so […]

Gleyber Torres Could Return Soon

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres could make his return to action "real soon." Torres tested positive for COVID-19, though he has been asymptomatic, which means he could return sooner than the normal 10-day quarantine period if he tests negative multiple times. That would be good news for both the Yankees and his fantasy managers, […]

Aaron Hicks Has Torn Tendon Sheath In Left Wrist

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (wrist) had an MRI on his left wrist, which revealed a "torn sheath that holds the tendon in place." Hicks is currently taking medication, and the Yankees will know in a few days whether it's resolved or will ultimately require surgery. It's a tough blow for Hicks- who is […]

Gio Urshela Still Dealing With Knee Soreness

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (knee) is still experiencing some soreness in his knee, per manager Aaron Boone. Boone said that Urshela could get the day off on Friday in the series opener against Baltimore. The issue certainly hasn't affected his play on the field, as he has collected four hits in the […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: The New York Yankees have won each of the past four games that have been started by Domingo German.

Friday Focus: Buy Or Sell Pitchers?

Last week, we took a look a few position players who have greatly exceeded expectations in the season's first month and change. This time around, the focus is on pitchers who fall into that bucket. There are always a handful of players who blow away our expectations in the early stages of any given season. Whether […]

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets for Week 7

Sometimes fantasy baseball can resemble the stock market. You want the best portfolio of players without having to pay too much for them. Sometimes to achieve the optimal team, you need to make trades. The best way to gain added value is to trade away an over-performing player for one in a rut. This way, […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/14/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a typically massive Friday night slate on tap, although FanDuel unfortunately is not including the second game of the Royals-White Sox twin bill, robbing us of an opportunity to stack some Chicago bats against Kansas City’s vulnerable Jakob Junis.

Jameson Taillon Strikes Out Nine On Thursday

New York Yankees starter Jameson Taillon was once again unimpressive in his start Thursday against the Rays in Tampa Bay. The former Pirate allowed four earned runs across 4 2/3 innings, striking out nine. The K numbers are clearly there, but Taillon is still just getting hit around whenever hitters do make contact. We are […]

Aaron Hicks Out Of Lineup Due To Wrist Soreness

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (wrist) is not in Thursday's lineup due to a sore left wrist. The Yankees sent Hicks for an MRI, so hopefully, it isn't anything too serious. Stay tuned for updates on the status of the veteran outfielder. Brett Gardner will start in center field in place of Hicks and […]

Luke Voit Gets The Day Off Thursday

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit is getting a breather on Thursday and is not in the lineup for the series finale against the Rays. Voit played each of the first two games of the series- his first two contests back from injury- going 0-for-6 with a walk and two strikeouts. Mike Ford will […]

Gleyber Torres Tests Positive For COVID-19

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list. Torres missed Wednesday's game as a precautionary measure, with the Yankees awaiting the results of his testing. It turns out the Yankees' cautious approach was warranted, as the 24-year-old has tested positive for the virus. Torres had the virus last December […]

Yankees Impressed With Jasson Dominguez

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez, the team's top prospect per MLB Pipeline, is impressing the team as a switch-hitting center fielder with power and speed in extended spring training. The 18-year-old has been compared to Bo Jackson, Mickey Mantle and Mike Trout physically, and he could join Low-Tampa at some point in 2021. "His […]
