MLB DFS Prop Picks for 4/2/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

Are You For Real? Surprising SP Starts from Week 1

Welcome to our Surprising Starts series, where every week we look at lower-owned starting pitchers who have performed unexpectedly well in their last outing(s). Even though the first week had just four days of baseball, there were so many surprising starts to chose from that it was hard to decide which pitchers to break down. […]

Engel's Angles - Darvish's Struggles, Alcantara's Breakout and More

Each week, I will be bringing you my latest insights from around the Fantasy world. For now, I will be gathering storylines from around Major League Baseball.

Catcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 1

It’s time to talk about the most outcasted position in fantasy baseball, the catcher. Although we may not like it, backstops still matter for the makeup of our rosters. The draft strategy for this position has remained the same over the past few years, get an elite option in the mid-rounds or avoid entirely. The […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/3/19): MLB DFS Lineups

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 1

As long as the wait may have seemed, the 2019 MLB campaign is off to the races, and as usual, there has been no shortage of surprisingly strong starts from players across the board. With a slew of veteran and up and coming middle infielders starting off with scorching results at the plate in an […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 1

After an offseason that somehow felt even more interminable than usual, the 2019 season is underway. Teams have only played a few games, of course, so you certainly shouldn't be making any drastic decisions just yet. For example, one of my rosters in a keeper league contains a slew of elite bats and is sitting […]

Week 1 Waiver Wire Watch List

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

No matter how scared you might be about Chris Sale's velocity, pushing the […]

Points Leagues Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 1

With Opening Day in the books, it’s only reasonable to look ahead to the waiver wire for rest-of-season […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 1 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes to get an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 1

The 2019 season is officially underway! After months of preparing for drafts, now owners will turn their attention to finding the best values off the waiver wire.
