FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks (7/18/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Hello RotoBallers! We have a nice-sized Sunday main slate to dissect with lots of batting and pitching options for us to consider. We have some good pitching options on this slate so we will need to figure out which one can get us a few strikeouts and a win while also choosing between some great […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates - Week 17

It was strange to not see any baseball highlights for a few days this week but thankfully it was a quiet injury week as a result. Following the All-Star break, a number of injured players will be beginning/finishing their rehab assignments in the hopes of returning to their respective teams. Please keep in mind that […]

The NotBurts: First Half Hitter Awards

For all of the division and rancor in society, one foundation of our world stays intact from year to year, splendid in its grandeur, universal in its praise. The NotBurts. A celebration of first-half excellence in hitting, the NotBurts aren't, as one critic (liar) claimed, "just an award show made up by some lunatic". No, […]

Barrel Rate and Contact Rate, Who Can Do Both?

Hitting is, at the same time, completely simple and enormously complex. Hitting in the Major Leagues is arguably the most challenging thing to do in all of sports. I don't think I need to explain myself for saying that hitting is complex. I can't do it, probably neither can you. The reason I say it's […]

Fantasy Baseball Rest Of Season Rankings: Mid-Year Updates

The All-Star break offers us fantasy baseball players a chance to breathe and reassess the battlefield before us. Pitching remains as volatile as ever thanks to midseason rule changes, the next generation is fighting uphill after missing minor-league development in 2020, and Shohei Ohtani has blossomed into a full-fledged superstar. Instead of my weekly top […]

Taking a Mulligan - Second-Half Rebound Candidates

We've reached the All-Star Break, which means the baseball season is just over halfway done. Let me repeat that: we still have three months to go! I think some of us are still operating in the mindset of the shortened 2020 season and are thinking that our fantasy seasons are over if we're not in […]

Midseason Report Card - Starting Pitchers

Back in late April, I published the early season report card. It was a look at how the top drafted starting pitchers began their seasons and what we could expect from them moving forward. We provided an early-season grade and a projected rest of season grade based on their early results and how they were […]

Improving Hitters to Watch in the Second Half

We have more than three months of baseball in the books. It has been a glorious spring and summer with the return of the 162 game schedule. While it was nice for MLB to sneak in 60 games and some expanded playoffs in 2020 after we feared a full season cancellation, it really just didn't […]

Daily MLB Injury Roundup for July 17th, 2021

RotoBaller has assembled a list of daily MLB injury updates to help you prepare both your seasonal and daily fantasy baseball (DFS) lineups, every day of the MLB season.

Injured Stars To Stash For The Second Half

Incredibly, we have already reached the 2021 All-Star break. At this point in the season, most fantasy managers, whether in redraft or dynasty formats, have a pretty good sense of whether their teams will be in the hunt for a fantasy title come September. For those managers looking for an extra push at the end […]

Top 50 Fantasy Baseball Prospects for Week 16

Wow, what a busy last few days for prospects around Major League Baseball. On Sunday, we were treated to both the MLB Futures Game — a showcase of the sport’s best prospects — and the first round of the 2021 MLB Amateur Draft. The remainder of the 20-round draft will take place today and tomorrow. […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/17/21): MLB DFS Lineups

This is one of the more straight forward Saturday MLB slates in a while. We only have three early games and two teams that had the audacity to start an hour earlier than everyone else. That leaves a ten-game main Saturday slate, which is the largest in some time. Hopefully we don't have all of […]

FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks (7/17/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a hefty 10-gamer over on FanDuel and there are multiple ways we can go with lineups tonight. Woodruff and Cole highlight a top tier of pitching that weirdly includes DeSclafani, Kikuchi, and Eovaldi, but there are intriguing mid-tier options to consider and a few non-chalky teams to stack tonight outside of Coors Field. […]

Closers and Saves Report - Waiver Wire and Trade Deadline Chatter

We here at RotoBaller's Closers and Saves Report believe that there should be something like the Home Run Derby, but for relief pitchers. Not a skills competition, or a strike throwing contest, or a velocity race. Just an actual Home Run Derby, but with relief pitchers. Our money is on Daniel Camarena. With the All-Star […]

Using K-BB% To Find Relievers to Add for the Second Half

A couple of weeks ago, I used June's K-BB% leaderboard to look at which starting pitchers might provide value in the second half. In that article, I explained why I loved the metric so much by stating: If a pitcher has a high strikeout rate (K%), then we know he is effective because we know […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (7/16/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

After an entertaining couple of days of All-Star festivities early in the week, baseball is back in what we hope will be full force Friday night, although the start of the Red Sox-Yankees series remains in peril due to New York’s team COVID outbreak. We also have weather threatening a couple of venues, and FanDuel […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/16/21): MLB DFS Lineups

Happy Friday, RotoBallers! The second half of the 2021 campaign kicks off tonight after a few days off for the All-Star break. Shohei Ohtani and Pete Alonso gave us a few highlights in the home run derby on Monday before the American League defeated the National League 5-2 for the eighth game in a row on […]

Welcome back to the NL-only and AL-only pickups column.

I'll also include a recommendation for what to do with each […]
