Future Tense: The Arizona Fall League, Part VI: Scottsdale Scorpions

The Boston Red Sox. The Cleveland Indians. The Detroit Tigers. The Minnesota Twins. The San Francisco Giants. What do they have in common? Two things: one, they all missed out on the playoffs this year, and they are the teams that seed the Scottsdale Scorpions. The roster has some interesting names to check out, and this […]

Hammel Named Game 4 Starter For Cubs

Jason Hammel has been named the Chicago Cubs starter for Game 4 of the NLCS on Wednesday. The right-hander didn’t fare too well in his first start of the post-season during the NLDS. Hammel allowed two runs on three hits and three walks in only three innings pitched. He didn’t suffer the loss, but he […]

Future Tense: The Arizona Fall League, Part V: Salt River Rafters

After the dregs of the Peoria Javelinas, things are looking much better as we move over to the Salt River Rafters, home to prospects from the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Colorado Rockies, the New York Mets, the Toronto Blue Jays, and the Washington Nationals. Sure, this isn’t the deepest team in the league, but it certainly […]

Future Tense: The Arizona Fall League, Part IV: Peoria Javelinas

Given the performance of the teams supplying the Javelinas, one would think that there would be great talent on this team. Alas, that is not to be the case. While the Atlanta Braves have provided quality to this club, they are just about the only ones. The Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres foolishly thought that they […]

FanDuel DFS - MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers, & Advice for 10/13/15

THERE'S some offense for ya! An MLB Playoff record 21 home runs were crushed yesterday and all four games were in on the action. Aside from the Blue Jays-Rangers game they were exciting events to watch and all four were excellent opportunities to make winning FanDuel lineups. Today we get two NLDS Game 4's to analyze […]

Future Tense: Arizona Fall League, Part III: Mesa Solar Sox

In our second part, I commented on how the Astros were at least a year early by making the playoffs this year and that the future looks even better. That’s true too for the Chicago Cubs, one of the teams seeding the Mesa Solar Sox. The Oakland Athletics went into rebuilding mode this year, and […]

FanDuel DFS - MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers, & Advice for 10/11

Well, yesterday was interesting to say the least. The Chase Utley slide swung the momentum for the Dodgers in a game they looked to be in big trouble. The Cubs fought back to even their series and head home with Jake Arrieta looming. Today we get two ALDS Game 3s to analyze and use to […]

2016 Shortstop Prospects And Dynasty Rankings

Over the last few weeks, we've evaluated first base and second base dynasty prospects. Both positions have their quirks. First base prospects are usually pure hitters with little defensive utility. Good for fantasy owners, less good for real baseball teams. Second base isn't always a well-regarded position among scouts leading clubs and rankings to under-represent the position in […]

FanDuel DFS - MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers, & Advice for 10/10

Welcome to  our first weekend of playoff baseball. We saw Toronto go into panic mode falling down 2-0 as the series heads to Arlington. Kansas City fought back in a game that would've likely been their death kneel as they face Dallas Keuchel on Sunday, now tied 1-1. John Lackey displayed his dominance at home […]

Future Tense: Arizona Fall League, Part II - Glendale Desert Dogs

The Desert Dogs benefit nicely from being fed by organizations that are either rebuilding, are coming out of rebuilding, or, in the case of the Pirates, are always restocking thanks to being in a smaller market. As a result, this is a very good team with some interesting names to watch.   Top Prospects Of […]

FanDuel DFS - MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers, and Advice for 10/9

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks & Sleepers for the 10/6 - 10/7 Wild Card Games

I'm not sure what is harder to believe - the fact it's now playoffs time (I felt like I was writing opening day strategy pieces just yesterday), or the fact that two deserving fan-bases (see: Astros and Cubs) aren't guaranteed a home playoff game after their teams strung together incredible seasons. Anywho, the FanDuel action […]

MLB DFS Lineup Picks & Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for the Wild Card Games

For the most part, you can pretty much throw out statistics in a one game playoff. This will be the fourth year of the new Wild Card game system. In the previous three years, home teams own a record of 3-3. Cy Young candidates have gotten torched on the road, and young hitters have entered […]

Holds Leagues: Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 27

While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire for Week 27, the final days of the fantasy baseball season.

Champ or Chump: Lindor, David Wright and Scherzer

By now, most 2015 fantasy leagues have already been decided. In an all season roto league, someone probably has a big enough lead in enough categories that the last week doesn't matter. H2H formats are winding down their playoffs, if they haven't already finished. You've set your last lineup in any weekly format, and any […]
