FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/15/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

"So, did anything interesting happen in baseball last night?", Tom asked imperfectly. Tom Swifty jokes aside, I still late can't believe a perfect game was broken up by an HBP just before the finish line. Still, a no-hitter is pretty impressive either way. I will say upfront that I am not expecting anything that infrequent […]

Yusmeiro Petit Earns Third Win Of Season

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Yusmeiro Petit got one out to escape a jam and the offense rewarded him with his league-leading third win of the season. Petit has been a solid arm for a few years in the A's bullpen, but he's not someone to chase in fantasy. Wins are a tough stat to predict […]

Jesus Luzardo Hit Hard By Diamondbacks

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo allowed five runs in 2 2/3 innings pitched in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Luzardo allowed six hits and two walks while only striking out one. The 23-year-old lefty is off to a rough start this season with an 8.31 ERA and 5.45 FIP through three starts. […]

Lou Trivino Earns Save For A's On Tuesday

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Lou Trivino pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn his first save of the season Tuesday at Arizona. Trivino issued a walk, but needed just 12 pitches to slam the door on the Diamondbacks. There was speculation Trivino could step into the closer role in the absence of Trevor Rosenthal (shoulder) […]

Matt Olson, Sean Murphy Not In Tuesday's Lineup

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (hand) and catcher Sean Murphy are not in Tuesday's lineup for the contest against the Diamondbacks. It's a routine day off for Murphy, who has collected three hits in his last two games after going hitless in his first seven. Olson was expected to sit out a game after […]

Matt Chapman Has Big Night Versus Diamondbacks

Oakland Athletics outfielder Matt Chapman went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored in a win at Arizona on Monday. Chapman has gotten off to a slow start this season batting just .179 after this performance. He's faced some brutal matchups so far with series against the Astros and Dodgers pitching […]

Mitch Moreland Takes Batting Practice

Oakland Athletics first baseman Mitch Moreland (hamstring) has missed the last three games due to a sore right hamstring, but he was able to take batting practice before the game on Monday and is a candidate to fill in at first base with Matt Olson (thumb) listed as day-to-day after suffering a thumb contusion when […]

Jake Diekman Earns High-Leverage Hold

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Jake Diekman pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings with a strikeout to earn a hold versus the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Matt Olson Day-To-Day After Being Hit On Hand

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (thumb) is being listed as day-to-day after he was removed in the eighth inning after getting hit by a pitch on his left hand on Monday night.

Ramon Laureano Picks Up Two More Steals Versus Arizona

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and two stolen bases in a win over the Diamondbacks on Monday. Laureano clearly has the green light to run as he's been a terror on the basepaths leading the Majors with seven thefts less than two weeks into the season. He's […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers to Target

Diving head-first into relievers who have converted saves early in the season is typically fine but whatever is going on this season is very, very odd. If my math is correct, there are now 35 different relievers who have at least 1 save so far this year. After one week of games. Crazy. — Greg […]

Week 3 of the Major League Baseball season is underway and we're already witnessing some impressive rookie performances led by Chicago's surprise contributor Yermin Mercedes and Miami's impressive young arm Trevor Rogers.

Mark Canha Picks Up First Steal Of 2021

Oakland Athletics outfielder Mark Canha went 1-for-4 with two runs scored and a stolen base in a win over the Diamondbacks. The steal was Canha's first of the season but he's up to a league-leading 12 runs scored as the leadoff hitter for the A's. Canha boasts elite on-base skills thanks to a double-digit walk […]

MLB Betting Picks for Tuesday 4/13 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Not the way we wanted to start the week, as Baltimore/Seattle was rained out, followed by Arizona getting run out of their own park after Madison Bumgarner had another terrible start. Trending downward a bit in terms of record and units, but no reason to get discouraged. By now, most of you have been reading […]
