The Cubs and Dodgers highlight a full slate of games on Saturday, along with match-ups pitting the Rangers against the Orioles and the Giants against the Cardinals.

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 8/28/15

We certainly had some duds yesterday. The Blue Jays, Angels, Dodgers, and Pirates all disappointed in the runs category. However, our pitching was pretty good overall, so hopefully you had that one key batter that pushed you into cashing territory. It was the most exciting day of baseball, but if it was a successful one, […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 21 (Part 2)

Poor Justin Verlander. On Wednesday, he was three outs away from pitching his third no-hitter of his career. That was the second time he had a no-hitter broken up in the ninth. This means that Verlander could potentially have four no-hitters under his belt for his career. As for 2015, he has really come on […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 8/27/15

Well, I knew it was coming. As hot as I was last week and the week before, the cold streak has hit hard. I withdrew some money from my FanDuel account, and since then I have lost 25% of my remaining bankroll. Well, I guess that’s what this game is about. We have a little […]

MLB Closers And Saves Waiver Wire Watch for 8/27

The no hitter. Few events in sports can make a stadium root against the home team, but a no-no can. There is a virtual guarantee of a great defensive play to preserve the effort, adding to the excitement of the event. Like a championship, these gems live on well after their season has faded into […]

Buy Low and Sell High Starting Pitchers for Fantasy Baseball (Week 21)

R.A. Dickey has allowed 20 hits and 10 runs in 10 innings since I recommended him in last week's column, and Patrick Corbin lasted just two innings in his most recent start. At least Jimmy Nelson kept things from being a complete disaster on the buy side with a solid showing. The sell suggestions were […]

Buy Low and Sell High Hitters for Fantasy Baseball (Week 21)

It is now the 21-week anniversary of this column. Each week, I've considered writing about Arizona's breakout star, A.J. Pollock. The problem is, I never have any idea where to put him.

Minor League Spotlight: Top Hitting Prospects from Week 20

Trea Turner was actually called up by the Nationals, and it happened before rosters expanded. Turner may not see starting time right away, but it may only be a little bit longer before a desperate Nationals squad plugs Turner into the shortstop spot to replace the underperforming Ian Desmond. With his job on the line, Matt Williams could […]
