Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/14/17): MLB Advice for FanDuel and DraftKings

After an odd Thursday slate last week in which every game was on the main slate, this Thursday gets back a more even split among day and night games.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Yahoo! Leagues   ANALYSIS: Robinson Chirinos had outplayed Jonathan Lucroy for much of the season, but was still finding himself with limited playing time while Lucroy remained in a Rangers uniform. However, after Lucroy was dealt to the Rockies in late July, Chirinos has become the... Read More

Kole Calhoun (OF, LAA) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Yahoo! Leagues   ANALYSIS: Kole Calhoun isn’t generally regarded as an exciting fantasy option, but he had an outstanding month of August.

Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (8/31/17): MLB DFS Advice for FanDuel and DraftKings

Thursday's main slate is an ugly one. Two of the most intriguing pitching options in Gio Gonzalez and Zach Davies will square off against one another and Madison Bumgarner will go up against one of the hottest hitting teams in baseball. Meanwhile, bargain hitting options don't jump off the page on the slate either. All... Read More

Arodys Vizcaino (RP, ATL) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Yahoo! Leagues   ANALYSIS: Arodys Vizcaino has finally wrestled the primary closer role away from Jim Johnson and the results have been as expected.

Brad Ziegler (RP, MIA) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Yahoo! Leagues   ANALYSIS: Brad Ziegler certainly doesn’t carry a typical closer’s profile, as he has just 21 strikeouts in 40 innings pitched. He also has a cringe-worthy 4.73 ERA and 1.58 WHIP for the season. That makes it little surprise he is owned in... Read More

Luis Castillo (SP, CIN) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Yahoo! Leagues   ANALYSIS: Luis Castillo has been a revelation for the Cincinnati Reds, a team in desperate need of viable starting pitchers.

Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (8/24/17): MLB DFS Advice for FanDuel and DraftKings

Thursday's slate is chalk full of good pitching, including the elite Chris Sale but also including several other interesting options such as Jake Arrieta, Stephen Strasburg, Dallas Keuchel, and Carlos Martinez. This stands in contrast to several game totals projected for over nine runs, many of which are in the early slate. Thus, the dichotomy... Read More

Matt Belisle (RP, MIN) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Yahoo! Leagues   ANALYSIS: Matt Belisle certainly isn’t going to fall in line with Craig Kimbrel, Kensley Jensen, or other elite closers, but he has been solid since taking over the closer role after Brandon Kintzler was dealt at the trade deadline. Since the trade deadline,... Read More

Shin-Soo Choo (OF, TEX) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Yahoo! Leagues   ANALYSIS: Shin Soo-Choo has shockingly low ownership despite being a contributor across every fantasy category. Though he is a boring name and at a prime age for regression, Choo could be a key contributor to fantasy teams down the stretch of the fantasy... Read More

Randal Grichuk (OF, STL) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Yahoo! Leagues   ANALYSIS: Randal Grichuk is perceived as a streaky hitter, and while his production does come in bunches he has shown an ability to contribute regularly. For example, his average has fallen below .240 just one month this season, and his slugging percentage has... Read More

Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (8/17/17): MLB DFS Advice for FanDuel and DraftKings

The good news is that Thursday's slate has a number of strong starting pitchers to pitch from including Luis Severino, Aaron Nola, Jeff Samardzija, and Jon Lester. However, it makes up for the abundance of pitching by lacking desirable options in the mid-tier of player pricing. Given that, tonight is a night where I'll be... Read More

Nicholas Castellanos (3B, DET) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Yahoo! Leagues   ANALYSIS: Nicholas Castellanos’ counting stats are finally starting to catch up to his advanced metrics, which have suggested he is capable of fantasy relevance for quite some time. For example, Castellanos has a strong 46% hard hit rate for the season, yet ... Read More

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Yahoo!

Manuel Margot (OF, SDP) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of Yahoo! Leagues   ANALYSIS: Coming up through the minors, Manuel Margot was profiled as a top of the order base stealer.

Bradley Zimmer (OF, CLE) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Yahoo! Leagues   ANALYSIS: Bradley Zimmer has come back to earth in August after what appeared to be a breakout performance in July.

Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (8/10/17): MLB DFS Advice for FanDuel and DraftKings

Unlike most Thurday's the vast majority of today's slate will be night games. Given that, rather than prep for an all day slate of games, I set my sights on the main slate only.

Freddy Galvis (SS, PHI) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: Freddy Galvis is posting a remarkably similar stat-line this season to his breakout 2016 campaign.

Nick Williams (OF, PHI) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Yahoo! Leagues   ANALYSIS: Nick Williams was always able to post gaudy counting stats at each level of the minor leagues.

Josh Bell (1B/OF, PIT) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% of Yahoo! Leagues   ANALYSIS: After a less than  impressive start to the season, Josh Bell has put together an impressive stretch of 185 at-bats spanning the months of June and July.

Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (8/3/17): MLB Advice for FanDuel and DraftKings

The Thursday slate is more plentiful than usual with 13 games on the slate.
