FanDuel, DraftKings CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 10/10/19

We're working with another two-game slate here, but these games both have totals exceeding 55. ULM and Texas State will square off in what will be one of the more exciting games of the weekend. Syracuse and NC State should be exciting as well, with two offenses that can score the ball. Let's dive in […]

FanDuel TNF DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy Football for Week 6

We have a very uneven matchup tonight between the healthy New England Patriots and the already terrible, also beat-up New York Football Giants. We're looking at just a 17-point spread, which will be interesting to watch how Danny Dimes keeps it that close. We'll be diving into the showdown slate, where there's plenty of money […]

Jack Flaherty Gets Win, Goes Six Strong Innings in Game 5

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty was able to pitch with a 10-plus run lead for the entire game, so there wasn’t much to stress about in Game 5 of the National League Division Series against the Braves. Still, he went six innings, struck out eight and allowed just one run on a solo […]

Max Muncy Homers in First Inning Off Stephen Strasburg

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy is on fire this series, clocking his third home run in five games in the first inning in Game 5 of the National League Division Series. Joc Pederson hit a ground-rule double through the wall a batter before, and Muncy pulled a high fastball over the right field fence […]

Cardinals Slug Their Way to NLCS

The Cardinals, who were healthy underdogs going into this series, have taken three of five over the Braves and move on to face either the Dodgers or Nationals in the NLCS. They exploded with 10 first-inning runs in game five and never looked back. Jack Flaherty pitched a solid game and they ended up taking […]

Cardinals Stun Braves With 10 First-Inning Runs

Wow. In a deemed pick-em by Vegas, Jack Flaherty and Mike Foltynewicz were supposed to duel and hold each other to one or two runs, at most. The Cardinals had other ideas, demolishing Foltynewicz and putting up 10 runs in the first inning. What might be more surprising is the Cardinals put up 10 runs […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (10/9/19): MLB DFS Lineups

It's game 5 day! We have two game fives on our hands today and it's going to be a fun night of baseball. The Braves and Cardinals face off first, with Jack Flaherty and Mike Foltynewicz on the mound. We're currently looking at a pick-em from Vegas. The Nationals aren't so lucky, going into Los […]

Rays Down Astros 4-1 to Force Game 5

The Rays bullpen stepped up huge, allowing just one run over nine innings of work. Diego Castillo started it off, but Ryan Yarbrough and Nick Anderson did the bulk of the work. Blake Snell came in for two batters in the ninth and closed it out with runners on first and third. On offense, the […]

Justin Verlander Goes 3.2 Innings, Allows Four Runs

It was a terrible day on the mound for Verlander, who gave up three runs in the first inning and another home run to Willy Adames in the fourth. He was pitching in just three days rest and it obviously bothered him. He left pitches over the plate that we usually wouldn’t see and his […]

Ryan Yarbrough Goes Two Shutout Innings in Relief

Yarbrough relieved Diego Castillo after just 1.2 innings and went through the order once. He gave up two hits and was pretty lucky with Jose Altuve being thrown out trying to get home on the Alvarez double. Nick Anderson, who has been phenomenal this season, has taken over and will likely get two innings as […]

Willy Adames Homers Off Verlander to Give Astros 4-0

The Rays continue to grow the gap between these teams in game four, with Willy Adames mutilating a pitch 419 feet to left-center. Adames isn’t the greatest hitter against righties that can throw hard, but Verlander is obviously not his usual-self and has left a few pitches over the plate. Let’s see if this Rays […]

Tommy Pham Homers to Open Game 4

Pham has been a lot better against lefties this season, but he jumped on a possibly-tired Justin Verlander and sent a 388-foot bomb to left-center. Verlander wasn’t sharp in the first inning, allowing three runs and four hits. The Rays currently lead 3-0 and are battling with an offense that can go crazy at any […]

Justin Verlander Gives Up Three Runs In First Inning

Verlander is coming off of three days rest and got roughed up in the first inning by these Rays. Tommy Pham homered in the two-hole, followed by an Avisail Garcia single and Ji-Man Choi walk. A single by D’Arnaud and a double by Wendle drove the pair in and gave the Rays an early 3-0 […]

Diego Castillo Strikes out Three in 1.2 Innings

Castillo wasn’t asked to do much tonight, but he did his job. He struck out three batters, walked one and gave up a single. The Astros had already planned to bring Yarbrough in when Reddick was coming to the plate, so he got to face a lefty and so Castillo didn’t have to see anyone […]

Angels Expected To Sign Joe Maddon

It's looking like Maddon will return to organization he started his career and coached 31 years at. Maddon and the Chicago Cubs had an extremely disappointing season and peacefully parted ways after the regular season. According to Buster Olney, Maddon is the Angels' top choice and the Angels are Maddon's top choice. Unless something goes […]

Diego Castillo Will Head Bullpen Game 4 for Rays

The Rays will toss Diego Castillo our there for two or three innings before handing the ball to one of the best bullpens in baseball. They are pretty tired, but there’s no time for that right now. It’s playoff baseball and all hands are on deck. They’ll certainly need to be if the Rays have […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (10/8/19): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We only have one MLB game on the slate today, but it's a fun one between the Rays and Astros. The Astros are tossing Justin Verlander on three days rest, so that will be very interesting to see how that plays out. On the Rays side, it'll be a bullpen game headed by Diego Castillo. […]

FanDuel, DraftKings CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 10/9/19 (Showdown)

We only have one game on Wednesday night, and it’s a showdown between Appalachian State and Louisiana-Lafayette. We’re looking at a 66 over/under with ULL being a 1.5 point favorite. Both of these teams like to keep it on the ground, but score a ton of points. Let’s dive into this game and figure out […]

Nationals Beat Dodgers 6-1, Force Game 5 in Los Angeles

The Dodgers opened up the scoring with a first-inning home run off the bat of Justin Turner. What they didn’t know at the time was that they wouldn’t score another run all night. The Nationals put up six runs, led by a Ryan Zimmerman three-run home run and Anthony Rendon’s three-RBI’s. They’ll now head to […]

Anthony Rendon Drives In Three Runs In Game 4 Win

Rendon got two sacrificed flies up and an RBI single, finishing with three RBI’s on the night. It’s no surprise, as he’s been one of the best hitters in baseball all season long (.406 wOBA). The Nationals got a 6-1 win in game 4 and will now face Walker Buehler on the road in Los […]

Cardinals Bullpen Comes Up Huge in Game 4

After Dakota Hudson and poor fielding allowed four runs through the first four innings, the Cardinals bullpen came in and shut down the remaining 5.1 innings, allowing just three hits and striking out eight. They gave the Cardinals a chance to come back and we’re now headed to a game 5 in Atlanta.

Max Scherzer Goes 7 Innings, Allows One Run in Game 4 Win

After a first-inning home run allowed to Justin Turner, Max Scherzer settled down and pitched a near-perfect six innings. He struck out seven, and left the game with a 6-1 lead. The Nationals stepped up to the plate and have Scherzer some substantial run support. The Nationals and Dodgers will face off in a series-deciding […]

Ronald Acuna Goes 4-for-5 With Double And Triple In Loss

Acuna did everything he could to close this series out for the Braves, but the supporting cast couldn’t give him enough help. His feud with Carlos Martinez continued being one-sided, with Martinez doubling off of him in the ninth. Unfortunately for Acuna and the Braves, his valiant efforts weren’t enough and the Cardinals snatched a […]

Gleyber Torres Gives Yankees 1-0 Lead With a Home Run

Jake Odorizzi looked great, striking out three of the first four batters. That was before Gleyber Torres connected and sent a 378-foot missile to the left-field seats. Both Severino and Odorizzi look to be on their game, so every run may be valuable as the Yankees go for the 3-0 sweep. Torres has a hit […]

Freddie Freeman Goes 0-for-5 with 3 K’s in Loss

It was a miserable day at the plate for one of the best hitters in baseball. Besides the three strikeouts, he spent his other two at-bats grounding into a double-play and making the 2nd out in the 9th inning with Acuna on second base. Facing off with Dakota Hudson, who’s struggled with lefties, you’d expect […]

Rich Hill Goes 2.2 Innings In Game 4 Loss

Hill was never going to pitch more than 70 or 80 pitches, but the Dodgers certainly wanted more than two and two thirds out of him. He walked four batters and allowed a run. Dave Roberts didn’t have much of a choice but to pull him with Scherzer on the opposite side and the bases […]

Paul Goldschmidt Opens Up Game 4 with First Inning Home Run, Goes 3-for-4

Goldy was an assassin at the plate today, going 3-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored. He opened up the scoring with a home run off of Dallas Keuchel in the first inning, and was followed by Marcell Ozuna for back-to-back jacks. Goldschmidt has been one of the best hitters in baseball against lefties […]

Marcell Ozuna Homers Twice in Game 4 Win

Ozuna kept the Cardinals alive with 2 bombs against Dallas Keuchel. Ozuna struggled this season against lefties, but has historically smashed them with a .362 wOBA. Dallas Keuchel has struggled this season against righties and he lasted just 3.1 innings while giving up three runs. The Cardinals and Braves head to Atlanta to face-off in […]

Yandy Diaz Exits Early With Sore Foot

Kevin Cash said after the game that Diaz was "fine", and removing him from the game was more precautionary than anything. He should be in there next game against Justin Verlander, who will be pitching on short rest Wednesday night. Matt Duffy filled in nicely, going 2-for-4 and scoring a run.

Justin Turner Homers in First Inning to Open Game 4

Max Scherzer has gotten off to another shaky start, giving up a solo shot to Justin Turner in the first inning. This makes it two games in a row for Turner with a home run, and he's getting hot at the right time. The Nationals are facing elimination and currently facing a 1-0 deficit.
