MLB DFS Prop Picks for 8/29/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

As the baseball season winds down it may be a little more difficult for starting pitchers to keep delivering the strikeouts. Some of the most effective pitchers in the game this season have not necessarily been overpowering and, with some recent down ticks in strikeout numbers, the under might be the way to play. Zack […]

Matt Chapman Out Thursday After HBP

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman, who was hit in the head by a pitch Wednesday, is not in the lineup Thursday. Nor is DH Khris Davis, who is on paternity leave.

That sounds like a good reason to put one of your best players through tests, […]

Matt Chapman Hit In Head By Pitch

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman (head) left the game on Wednesday after being hit in the head by a pitch from Royals pitcher Jakob Junis. The All-Star already has a career-high 30 home runs and 74 RBI, so losing him for any extended time would be a big blow to the A's and fantasy […]

As for falling power outputs, four of today's five have been risers in […]

Brown was hitting an impressive .297/.352/.634 with 37 home runs on the farm, and he was also hitting .405 in his last 10 games.
