BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Yahoo! Leagues   ANALYSIS: Zimmerman has mashed three home runs in 34 at-bats this season and has also added three doubles to his ledger.

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (4/13/17): MLB DFS Advice

Fanduel’s pricing has gotten tighter so this small main slate will be a bit tricky if rostering Bumgarner is a priority of yours. It’s hard to say exactly where the chalk will fall tonight, though Toronto and the Orioles should be popular. The Reds and Brewers and A’s and Royals is where I will mostly […]

Chris Owings (2B/SS/OF, ARI) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: It was unclear how much playing time Owings would get heading into 2017, but Ketel Marte’s Spring Training struggles and Nick Ahmed’s defense-only profile have cleared regular playing time for Owings. He will still be out of the lineup from time […]

Yangervis Solarte (2B/3B, SD) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of FleaFlicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Those who enjoy both DFS and season long fantasy know that the Padres will be a favorite team to stream against thanks to their terrible pitching staff.

BALLER MOVE: Add in most mixed leagues OWNED IN: 31% of FleaFlicker Leagues Analysis: Asdrubal Cabrera had a surprising 2016 campaign as his power rebounded to levels last seen in 2011.

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (4/6/17): MLB DFS Advice

The Thursday slate is an interesting one on FanDuel as there a number of different slates. Thus, rather than limiting ourselves, I’ll list my favorite plays across the entire slate (to get my input on a specific slate, feel free to find me on Twitter @DanMarcus3). Pitching is noticeably bad on this slate, so it […]

Deeper Late Round Draft Fliers for Wins

Wins are a fickle stat and often don’t seem to benefit the most deserving pitchers in the game. One need only look at the leaderboard last season to see the likes of Hector Santiago, Josh Tomlin, and Collin McHugh with as many wins as Jose Quintana. That can make it frustrating and often difficult to […]

Deeper Late Round Draft Fliers for RBI Production

Runs batted in can be a difficult stat to predict given that RBI production isn’t solely up to an individual player and the skills they possess. It goes without saying that in order for there to be opportunities to drive in runs, there must be players on base to drive in. This makes factors such […]

2016 September Surgers Who Could Break Out in 2017

September results are often cited by fantasy owners looking for young breakout players who flash power, speed, or both. Isolating one month’s stats can be risky due to the small sample size of any one-month performance and the roster expansion in September can lead to inflated numbers against poor competition. Given these conditions, it’s important […]

Early ADP Values for Fantasy Baseball: Catchers

The demand for catchers at the draft table varies quite a bit on league format, most specifically whether it is a one- or two-catcher league. One thing that doesn’t change, however, is that relative to other hitting positions, elite catchers stay on the draft board longer than any other position. Today I'm here to take […]
