Tyson Ross (SP, SD) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of leagues ANALYSIS: San Diego Padres starting pitcher Tyson Ross has surprisingly low ownership this far into the regular season.

Jeremy Hellickson (SP, WAS) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: Washington Nationals starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson is a hot fantasy target, as his ownership has jumped from 3% in Week 6.  Weather prevented a two-start schedule last week, but that just means he is on the table for Week 9. Since Hellickson... Read More

Luiz Gohara (SP, ATL) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: It is not official that Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Luiz Gohara will make to starts in Week 9, but it is likely that he is a two-start pitcher. In his first start of 2018, he pitched four innings and struck out six Phillies.... Read More

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 9

Thanks to Memorial Day weekend, we have 16 games on Monday (NYM/ATL doubleheader). That’s important because it significantly increases the amount of two-start streamers available to our player pool. Last week, we provided gems like Nick Pivetta (7 IP, 0 ER, and 7 K in first start) and German Marquez (7 IP, 1 ER, and... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/25/18): MLB DFS Lineups

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/21/18): MLB DFS Lineups

It's a short nine-game slate on Monday. Two games have an over/under of at least nine total runs. Five teams are heavy favorites (-185): STL, MIN, NYY, LAD, and WSH. However, while you would think pitching would be loaded, the player pool isn't elite. On a positive note, weather shouldn't be an issue for Monday.... Read More

Trevor Cahill (SP, OAK) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Two-Start Streamer for Week 8 OWNED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: Trevor Cahill returned to action on Wednesday and was promptly greeted by Boston. While the outing wasn’t stellar, Cahill still kept the damage to a minimum. He hasn’t allowed more than three earned runs in any outing this year. Cahill has also compiled... Read More

Matt Koch (SP, ARI) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Two-Start Streamer for Week 8 OWNED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: Matt Koch was clobbered in his last outing. The Brewers tagged him for eight earned runs (four homers) in 4.1 innings of work. Unfortunately, Koch gets Milwaukee in his first start of Week 8. On the bright side, that was Koch’s worst outing... Read More

German Marquez (SP, COL) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez is a bit of a risky addition. Any time you add pitchers who are below 25 percent owned, it comes with a high risk of ruining your fantasy team’s ERA and/or WHIP for the week. Therefore, it... Read More

Nick Pivetta (SP, PHI) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Two-Start Streamer for Week 8 OWNED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS: Nick Pivetta was nearly perfect in his last outing: 7 IP, 1 ER, and 11 K (@ BAL). Two of his next starts are at home, where he’s 2-1 with a 2.48 ERA (five games) and 36 strikeouts in 29 innings. Atlanta... Read More

Jake Faria (SP, TB) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Two-Start Streamer for Week 8 OWNED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: You want the good news or the bad news first when it come to Jake Faria? I’ll start with the negatives. Faria has already faced the Red Sox and Orioles this season. Those matchups did not end well. Faria has a 14.29... Read More

Jeremy Hellickson (SP, WSH) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Two-Start Streamer for Week 8 OWNED IN: 43% of leagues ANALYSIS: Jeremy Hellickson is no stranger to the two-start streamer posts. In Week 6, we suggested Hellickson for his two appearances and he thrived (1-0, 1 ER, and 13 K in 11.2 innings of work). Hellickson returns to the two-start write-up with the... Read More

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 8

For Week 8 of the two-start pitcher streamers, we have some familiar faces and some players trying to redeem themselves from poor performances. Per usual, I’ll break down the pros and cons for selecting each arm for this week. From Week 7, we provided you with Andrew Heaney (15 K and 3 ER in two... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/14/18): MLB DFS Lineups

Although the MLB schedule shows a nine-game slate on Monday, we will only get to partake in eight of those matchups for DFS purposes. The ATL/CHC game has a 2:20pm (EST) start time and is excluded from the DK docket. From the games we do get to choose from, there are three matchups with an... Read More

Eduardo Rodriguez (SP, BOS) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: After back-to-back starts where he allowed five earned runs apiece, Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez shut down the powerhouse Yankees offense in his last outing, pitching five scoreless innings while allowing one hit and striking out eight batters. He has now... Read More

Mike Foltynewicz (SP, ATL) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of leagues ANALYSIS: Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz has had one rough start this season (allowing six earned runs on May 4th), but other than that, he has been stellar. He has only allowed more than two earned runs in that one horrendous appearance. He... Read More

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 7

We are now in Week 7 of the fantasy baseball regular season and the streaming options are getting better every week. Even in a small player pool to work with in Week 6, we found gems like Fernando Romero and Jeremy Hellickson. Let’s hope to find more this week. There are nine games on Monday,... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/11/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We’re ignoring the interleague game in Chicago between the White Sox and Cubs, because of the 2:20pm (EST) start. Sorry, Chicago fans. However, we still have a 14-game Friday slate. While all the odds aren’t fully listed (waiting on SP from Milwaukee and Oakland), I can confirm that two matchups will have an over/under of... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/7/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We only have seven games on the docket for Monday. Meaning, we’ll have to get creative with some of our decision making, when it comes to building a lineup that we’re happy with on this small slate of games. Fortunately, three games have an over/under of at least nine total runs (MIA/CHC over/under hasn’t been... Read More

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 6

With only a seven-game slate on Monday, the number of streaming starting pitchers is reduced severely. While the player pool is shallow, we are still able to compile three starting pitchers from each level of ownership (under 50 percent and under 25 percent). All ownership percentages are courtesy of Yahoo fantasy baseball. The weather is... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/4/18): MLB DFS Lineups

It is a full 15-game slate on Friday with seven games boasting an over/under of at least nine total runs. The CLE/NYY matchup leads the way with ten total projected runs and New York is the strong favorite. More on them much later (Hint: it isn’t good for Josh Tomlin). Speaking of heavy favorites, only... Read More

Chris Stratton (SP, SF) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Chris Stratton had a solid start to his 2018 campaign and now the water is starting to reach its level. He has allowed at least five runs in two of the past three games and has walked 10... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/30/18): MLB DFS Lineups

For Monday, we’re working with a 10-game slate, beginning at 7:05pm, on DraftKings. This means one game is not included on the ticket: TEX/CLE (6:10pm). No Trevor Bauer for us. No worries. That’s why we’re here to help. I was surprised to see COL/CHC on the docket. The schedules I’ve seen mention a 7:00pm start... Read More

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 5

We return to the three starting pitchers under 50 percent owned and three starting pitchers under 25 percent owned theme in this week’s streamer report. As you may expect, the options under 50 percent are solid, and potentially ownable, for the remainder of 2018. However, the choices under 25 percent are not. Beware that you... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/27/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We have another “lefty day” on our DraftKings slate. There are 13 southpaws toeing the rubber for the start of their games on Friday. The Cubs are facing a left-handed pitcher, however we won’t be able to exploit that matchup. The MIL/CHC game starts at 2:20pm and will be excluded from the DK featured slate.... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/23/18): MLB DFS Lineups

There are nine MLB games on Monday, however DraftKings is removing the ATL/CIN matchup (6:40pm first pitch) from their featured slate. So, we’ll focus on the eight games with a first pitch of 7:05pm, or later. Four games have an over/under of at least nine total runs. The MIA/LAD line hasn’t been set at the... Read More

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 4

For those looking for a jump on the Week 4 starting pitcher streaming process, you’ve come to the right place. Here, we breakdown the list of two-start pitchers into two groups, based on Yahoo fantasy baseball ownership levels.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/20/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We finally get a Friday with all 30 teams in one slate (KC/DET is a double-header). Do not mess this up for us, weather! Now that most teams have played at least 15 games (c’mon, Minnesota), I’ll start to use 2017 and 2018 stats when addressing a player’s ISO. In this article, I will be... Read More
