FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (8/4/16): MLB DFS Advice
I have to say, twelve games on the slate is pretty pleasing for a Thursday. I'd love a few more to be on the Main contest, but a five-seven split makes things pretty interesting for both slates - and FanDuel has an All Day option as well. As far as any insights we might pull […]

Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups: Outfield
Max Kepler smacked three home runs for the Minnesota Twins on Monday. Today, he remains owned in just 36% of leagues. In fact, he leads the league with 11 HR since July 1. The German sensation should be added in all leagues. But Kepler's fate remained relatively unchanged after the flurry of activity over the […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: It's a lost season for the Rays, but Blake Snell has been a bright spot of late. While he continues to be a bit wilder than ideal, Snell has pitched to a 2.25 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in his last […]

Poetry in Motion: The Maturity of Jon Gray
Jon Gray isn't a rookie. OK, that's a lie because technically he is, but you know what I mean. The man (he's almost 25 years old for crying out loud) is pitching like a seasoned veteran and yet I keep seeing him mentioned as a streaming option or waiver option. It's a travesty that we […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 17)
Talk about some serious prospects reaching the majors. In one week, Tyler Glasnow, Lucas Giolito and Alex Bregman (finally) were all promoted to the big leagues.
