September. That time of year where non-contending teams will end a player's season over a generally minor injury, or otherwise cut into the playing time of regulars with expanded rosters. While actionable consequences won't really show until next week, it's something to start considering. Fortunately, next season rosters will jump from 26 to 28 instead […]

Today's piece covers a set of players who either should not be available on waivers or will return back there soon. Most of the earlier editions of this recurring buy or sell article have included several universally owned players whose values have been manipulated enough by early-season performances. Unfortunately, as we get deeper into the year, the […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 23 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes of getting an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

We have a loaded Saturday with 16 games in total thanks to a double-header in St. Louis. Those 16 games are split into seven afternoon and nine evening games.

Willie Calhoun Homers Again Thursday

Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun hit his 16th home run of the season Thursday night in a loss to the Mariners.

Lance Lynn Solid Over Six Innings

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Lance Lynn allowed three runs, one earned, and took a no-decision against the Mariners Thursday. Lynn struck out five while allowing five hits and two walks. It was a nice bounce-back start for Lynn after allowing seven runs in three innings last time out. The start lowers Lynn's ERA to 3.77 […]

Elvis Andrus Sitting Out Against Mariners

Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus is not in the starting lineup on Thursday. In his place, Danny Santana gets the nod at the 6 and will hit second against Mariners starter Felix Hernandez. Against a declining veteran starter and in Texas, Santana is very attractive in DFS on Thursday. The 28-year-old switch-hitter has been one […]

Ariel Jurado Pitches Six Scoreless Innings On Wednesday

Texas Rangers pitcher Ariel Jurado cruised through his outing in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over the Angels. Jurado entered the game in the second inning after opener Emmanuel Clase and went on to pitch six scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and one walk while striking out one. Jurado had gone out for the first inning […]

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.

Champ or Chump: Ryan McMahon and Victor Robles

Every draft season, it seems like somebody who had a hot September the previous season ends up overdrafted and ruining their fantasy owner's chances. One of the hallmarks of a successful fantasy season is avoiding these pitfalls, but it can be tough to distinguish legitimate breakouts from flashes in the pan. It's still early, but […]

Emmanuel Clase To Open Against Angels

Texas Rangers pitcher Emmanuel Clase will serve as the opener in front of Ariel Jurado against the Angels on Wednesday. Clase has a 4.35 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and nine strikeouts in just 10 1/3 innings at the major league level this year. He won't have any fantasy value as the opener and is likely to […]

Mike Minor's Good Start Ruined In Seventh

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Minor allowed four runs in 6 2/3 innings and took his eighth loss of the season Tuesday at the Angels. Minor was cruising along through six scoreless innings before a four-spot in the seventh knocked him out of the game. The final result is disappointing for fantasy owners but overall […]
