Champ or Chump: Ervin Santana & Michael Pineda

One of the most amazing things about pitching is how many ways there are to do it successfully. Ervin Santana has compiled an ERA of 2.07 by allowing his defense to gobble up every ball in play.

Updated May Rankings and Tiers: Relief Pitcher (RP)

The comedian Lewis Black has a fantastic bit about the dumbest thing he’s ever heard in his life.

Week 7 Waiver Wire: Catchers

It feels like this season's moving in slow motion, stat-wise. Things have improved a bit since Gary Sanchez returned to give his fantasy owners SOME hope. Still, looking at the numbers for backstops can feel like an exercise in tedium. There's almost no real movement, save for very tiny increments. Austin Hedges hit another homer... […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (5/18/17): MLB DFS Advice
